ACL Fest Revisited

People here, people there, people EVERYWHERE.

If you don't have a cool premiere parking pass (like I did - thanks Ami!) be prepared to walk for ever to get back to your car. And it'll be uphill, and you'll be tired... very tired, just like I was walking to the close not so close premiere parking.

The Raconteurs bring it. Jack White is awesome! I'm buying their music later this week.

Wear walking shoes. Women with heels, or cute wooden shoes will have blisters and complain about them.

Beer lines are long and short. No rhyme or reason why sometimes you can just walk up, and sometimes you're waiting for 25 mins in line. (Same goes for Port-a-potties.)

Heineken, Amstel Light and LoneStar = all $4. Kind of kills the theory that premium beers should be priced higher at grocery stores and bars.

No matter how old you are, you assume you look good in short shorts or skirt, and a bikini top. Ummm... do your friends always lie to you? (not that there's anything wrong with letting people wear whatever they want.)

Phones need interactive GPS, so you can text message a friend and give them access to a map or a sonar type device so they can track you down.

Even in a crowd of 60,000 people, even if just for a minute, you WILL run into (or find) people you know. Ami, Jason, Susan, Randy, Jessica, Mike, Missy, Rob, that guy I worked with 8 years ago but don't know his name anymore.

If you run 10 miles in the morning, take the big nap you're entitled to before you head out there.

IMHO, VIP access only means that you get to carry around a cool VIP pass around your neck, and act cool. After all, you're still stuck fighting the same crowds for a view of the stage. I mean, maybe they have a secret bar with no lines, but who wants to walk 1/2 a mile to that one, when the closest bar is 50 feet away! (or maybe I'm just jealous)

Matthew Mcconaughey may very well have been the guy that was all messed up lying on the ground in his own world. No naked bongos tonight!

Expecting a couple thousand people to walk on the sidewalk so you can drive your car on the street 5 mins after ACL ends is a sign of your stupidity, Mr. Exterra Driver

Trash cans line the sides of the park. Unless you choose to hold on to your cans and empty water bottles... go ahead, just toss it on the floor. Why not? Everyone else does it!

According to a friend (who shall remain anonymous to protect him/her), always wear your sunglasses. You can check out the hotties without getting caught.

When attending a Massive Attack concert, it may be a good idea to visit your neighborhood dealer to pick up some concert enhancing additives. (Nine Inch Nails, meets Pink Floyd meets Light Show.)

If you're in a band, don't feel compelled to give me your political views. At a future concert of yours, I may become a sniper and give you my opinion of you sharing your political views... (Disclaimer: I'm just kidding about killing people)

Speaking of Matthew Mcconaughey at ACL 2006...<
