My ACL2011: Part 3

Day 2 of ACL started off a little different than the day prior. Instead of hopping a cab to Zilker bright and early, we headed to South Congress to have some lunch. We went to Magnolia Cafe, which is my most favorite place in Austin to eat. We ordered a few skillets of MagMud (queso [...]

My ACL2011: Part 2

Friday morning, I loaded into a cab with Kenneth, Paige, and Alix. Alix handed me the HTC Thunderbolt connected to the @RadioShackLIVE account and told me to go ahead and tweet it up. Uh, ok. Um… I drew a blank. When I have to tweet or write for myself, it’s like mind vomit that just [...]

ACL2010: Day 1

I had literally been waiting for October 8-11 for a year. Having purchased these tickets the week after ACL2009 (late September 09), I calmly waited months to even see the lineup, then planned and replanned my ACL schedule until the day before the festival started this year. With all that anticipation and planning, there’s generally [...]
