Anybody have ACL tickets? What bands/individuals you looking forward to seeing/hearing?

[DFWhobbyguy]

ACL headliners are off the charts - Pearl Jam, Eminem and....the one and only mutherfukin OutKast!!!

'Kast hasn't toured for 10 years. I'm from Dallas and when I heard they were doing 40 shows this summer I said to myself: "Self, I hope them boys come to Big D but if they play anywhere near you - New Orleans, Houston or whatever....you gotta be there." Then I saw they were doing Austin for ACL, me and the homies got tix for BOTH weekends.

I am so stoked for this it's embarrassing.

I'll be looking forward to some time in San Antonio. I hate big festivals.

LOL. It would just be you and about 75,000 of your closest friends.

ah, as they say.. "The good ol' days".

Not all shows are ACL Fest. The Austin music scene is alive and well without crowds and without high prices on Red River and East 6th-ish. Your limited point of view is causing you to miss out on a lot of fun.

Going to see Bob Schneider at The Roost next Friday. Possibly Ginger Leigh at the Saxon Pub next Saturday.

Sat., Aug. 16 is going to be a good music day for me. There's a surf rock show at the Vortex from noon-5, and then the Coffee Sergeants play at 1:1 Bar that night.

The Coffee Sergeants put on real psychedelic rock, middle-aged and short-haired and all, they're not just some kids who heard some vintage albums.

BTW, SpeedRacer, I see that Brennan Leigh plays at ABGB tomorrow afternoon 4 p.m., I might poke my head in there, esp. considering the price (free.) You know, we surely have a lot of musical Brennans and Brannens in this town: Brennan Leigh, Brannen Temple, and at least one more.
