ACL!

Derrick and I finally experienced Austin City Limits, a huge 3 day concert event with around 25o bands total. We only got tickets for the final day on Sunday. The concerts start at 11 and go till 10pm everyday. On Sunday there were 67 bands for us to see! There are about 8 stages and usually 4-5 bands playing at a time around the park. Lucky for us we live about 2 miles from the park where the concert is held because the road to the park was closed down for the festival. We opted to walk because apparently cabs are triple in price for the weekend! It was a 40 minute walk but we had the time:)

We actually only knew of 2 of the bands we went to go see, Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses and Jack Ingram. We made up our schedule the night before and linked it to my iphone so we knew who was playing and at what stage. We found a ton of new much loved bands:)

Around us there were tons of drunk people, bathing suits, people smoking weed (how did they get away with this with cops around?) - an interesting but super fun day!

We also expected a lot of rain so we didn't plan on being out in the extreme sun all day. Hence our extreme sun burns that we have today:(

Enjoy the photos!
