Yesterday, was the first day for the ACL Fest.  In the days and weeks leading up to the Fest I have not found myself getting very excited.  A lot of that had to do with the hurricane threat, but the hurricane ended up not being an issue after all and no major artist have backed out as of right now.  So, now I'm a bit more excited.

So, yesterday I got to see Robert Earle Keene (always a smile on my face at his concerts), Spoon (first time to hear much of this local Austin band; good stuff, especially "Camera", The Allman Brothers (still sound the same as 30 years ago), Keane (yawn), and The Black Crowes (enjoyed it mostly.  They really need to write songs like they did on '92's debut "Shake Your Money Maker."  Man, that seems like ages ago - I was 15!)

Looking forward to a bit cooler climate today and hearing Jet, Death Cab for Cutie, and Oasis today.  Tomorrow, it's Doves, Wilco, Franz Ferdinand, and Coldplay...
