It's finally here!






Today, I am that little kid that who is finally entering the gates to Disneyland. ACL has finally begun and of course it started off with a bang, literally. As we walk through the entrance, we see a huge cloud of smoke. Apparently a port-a-potty blew up.... that’s unfortunate...Moving beyond that incident, we were off to see Pete Yorn, John Ralston, M.I.A., Spoon, and The Killers. Pete Yorn was unexpectedly good, M.I.A. unfortunately bad, and The Killers utterly amazing! I was really disappointed with M.I.A.'s performance. She was pitchy, and frankly, I could attempt more impressive dance moves. Running in place is not a dance move, it’s a cardio exercise! The Killers most definitely lived up to their notable reputation. With an eccentric stage design, and the band member's high energy, Brandon Flowers had the crowded sea of listeners jumping and dancing with excitement. Along with the running from concert to concert, we ran into a few characters as well, old few from high school, few from college, and of course Leslie, Austin’s legendary cross dresser. You gotta love everything about ACL.
