After two days of rocking, we picked ourselves up to bring ourselves back to Zilker Park for even more. JHall's friend Caroline was in tow for day 3, so us 3 musketeers called back the cabbie of the weekend to bring us back down to the place of rock. We actually had an extra wristband left over for Sunday, and in a brilliant move, we traded it to the cabbie for cab fare. There was no rocky top game to get in our way today, today was wall to wall rock.
Upon arrival, long time indie-rockers ...

Upon awaking on Saturday I had a semi-panic attack again about my iPhone, only to realize we had already slayed that dragon on Friday night. We eased on into the day with some delicious IHOP, and then we headed down to ACL at about 1:30 or so. Most of the daytime lineup on Saturday didn't consist of bands we were huge on, so JHall promptly ventured off to try to watch Rocky Top play the Dirty Gators. He got directions from the cabbie that were apparently completely wrong or something, so he got a nice walking tour ...

When hackey sacks and weed meet face-melting rock, you know it is festival time. Well I have returned from the greatness of ACL, and needless to say there was so much rock, it just wasn't even funny. I have decided to basically do a post for each day of the fest because I came up with too much crap to say about each day. Just as an aside, I think I enjoyed myself more here than at Lollapalooza, but that is probably largely due to 2 things. 1. I only saw basically 2 half-days of Lollapalooza, ...

I will hopefully get more of my pictures off my phone at some point and post them, but yesterday I checked out the download festival at Charter One on Northerly Island and all around a pretty awesome show by all. I left for a little while in the middle to go meet up with Hornino at the Jazz Fest where we heard a stirring jazz rendition of the Pierce Brosnan classic "Dante's Peak".
Anyway pictured above is the greatness of the Shins last night, rocking out of course. The first band I saw on the day was Honeycut, who ...

I think we literally have more points and passing yards already this season than we had last year, and we didn't start the year losing to a fucking 1-AA team like Michigan did, so all around a pretty good day. Georgia managed to bitch-smack Oklahoma State and the "most powerful offense of all time" or whatever shit ESPN was trying to spew out . Georgia seems to really enjoy the SEC statement game, as today was similar to their 30 point rape of Boise State two years ago, who also came in as "the greatest team ever" according ...
