Austin City Limits Announcement

We decided to get 3 day passes for the Austin City Limit concert in September. We have lots of friends going this year and we haven't gone in the past 2 years. We bought our tickets before we knew who was going to play at the concert because I was worried that the 3 day passes would sell out (like they do every year). I'm pretty happy with the lineup. I would have preferred a couple of other bands that I like would play but you never know who is going to drop out and be replaced :) Now comes the fun part of trying to figure out who we want to see! I'll be using Myspace to research the bands we don't know about. When the concert gets closer, ACL will release the times and stages the bands are going to play on. After that comes out, people try to plan to their day to catch all of the concerts that appeal to them! The last time we went to ACL we pussed out on Sunday because we were over the sun, the people and the dust. Hopefully it won't be so hot this time around!!
