Even though I live for ACL, I don't know how much more my body could take. My feet permanently hurt, my legs were stiff, and my shoulders, nose, and chest are sunburn, but it's totally worth it. The last day consisted of a beautiful performance by Ben Kweller, with no nose bleeds this time. It is incredible to me that he is able to put on such a good show even with such horrible "allergies". Bloc Party was after Ben and they may have put on one of the most exciting shows. The lead singer ended up running down the middle of the crowd with microphone in hand, still singing. We caught a few minutes of Regina Spektor, which was more than enough for me. She is such a talented artist but she acted like a four year old playing with a microphone for about a third of her performance. She made odd noises and would repeat the same phrase over and over and over and over again. It was rather disappointing. Wilco was much better. They were vivacious and energetic, but the best part of all was Marc Zupan from Murderball was there watching right in front of me. To end the festival, we laid out on the grass and listened to Bob Dylan, couldn't understand a word he said, but it was still a nice way to end things.
