2018 ACL Music Festival


South Austin

Recommended Posts

We're just doing the Friday of Weekend 2 (going hard all three days is no country for old men...)

The plan as of now:

12:45 - Big Thief
1:45 - REIGNWOLF
2:45 - Alvvays OR NoName OR beer run/food break
3:45 - David Byrne
4:45 - Manchester Orchestra OR Lily Allen
5:45  - The National
6:45 - Father John Misty OR push up as close as possible for McCartney
7:45 - Paul McCartney

Feel free to ridicule this plan or advise on any act I may be sleeping on. Cheers 🍻

Last year we went early to "Kiddie Limits" to watch our neighbor's kid perform 80s new wave hits with Charlie Sexton and the Barton Hills Choir. Honestly, it was pretty cool.

Looks like a Mack brown depth chart.

What's this "no backpacks" shit?

It's another bullshit rule designed to limit the entry of liquor and weed.  My trusted REI backback that I've been bringing to ACL for the past 10 years is now prohibited, and I have to find one of those simple backsacks with a drawstring and no pockets.

This.  I was so goddamn mad about this.  How am I going to get my flask in now?  You can check my sweaty taint you sorry motherfuckers.

Oh believe me, they will.  Last year was the first time I noticed that the frisks were more . . . uh . . . frisky.  Security has apparently been given the directive to leave no ballsack unturned.  I wish C3 would lighten the fuck up and be okay with a few flasks coming in.  I'll still buy food and a few beers for Christ sake.

I was just going to plug into the festival sound platform, so I'm not worried about that.  I have a 50 foot USB cord.  I just wanted to tether to my phone and look up porn for 5 hours.  Would be a bitch if I can't.  And I don't want to drag my little laptop 3 miles only to find out "no soup for you!".  Bueller?  Anyone?

Points:

1)  Some nice guy(? Hell maybe a girl?  I dunno, #whiteguyculture) named Donaji replied it's okay.
2)  I was thinking more All Wings, All The Time.  Y'know, that great band he was in after that whatever thing band or somesuch the Iraq...
3)  a) don't want hipster visitor with huge clip through head and tats that make her look like a stroodle; b) anything better than that, I mean really, they gonna go for moi?  Maybe for allowance.

Yeah, go through family line and start unpacking you as you approach your turn at security check.  Look annoyed but don’t be a jerk and they kinda held expedite you as they quickly just sweep the lining of the bag.  Humidity is gonna be a bitch this weekend so I’m sure they’ll be cool about you brining extra water for the little one.  

Sidenote—the underbutt is in full effect this year    They’re real and they’re spectacular

Tell me the mom jeans are falling out of fashion.  Please.

Of course there's the occasional hottie, but this looks more like a Vic ex-lovers Festival right now.

More hail damage than the middle of Kansas after a tornado.

fortunately if we have a cold snap and it gets down to -10 in the next few hours, there's more than enough body fat to cover me.

I'm in, sitting in the guest lounge, working on my third (free) drink of the day. I probably need to slow down a bit.    The weather is perfect today. Good day for a festival.  

It seems like the crowds are heavier early in the day than they have been in the last few years, I think a lot of people are having the idea of coming out early.

ACL Fest is my second favorite time of the year behind the opening day of college football.

the underbutt on the OU fans versus ACL fans may prove to be markedly different.  Sorry to miss the OU game, but could only get tickets for this weekend instead of next after all.
