August 11, 20214 yr I think it would take another sports league going without fans for fests to start canceling. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking but it’s hard to justify acl canceling with a full DKR a few miles away.
August 11, 20214 yr Tyler the Creator in for daBaby Stevie Nicks out [emoji20]Stevie is out for Shaky Knees too and was replaced with Foo Fighters.

August 11, 20214 yr That's an improvement, I guess. ACL has the most milquetoast lineups of any festival this side of Lilith Fair.

I agree to some extent, but the University of Texas and the City of Austin are two different entities and may employ two different risk/benefit analyses.
August 11, 20214 yr I agree to some extent, but the University of Texas and the City of Austin are two different entities and may employ two different risk/benefit analyses.Earlier today, CDC tweeted a reply to a question on capacity that UT would solely follow state guidelines. So, COVID FOR EVERYBODY!!!

Duran Duran had a few decent songs in the 90's after their initial beatles like wave.

They cancelled Jazz Fest but I bet LSU and Saints games will be full capacity in a couple of weeks.

September 9, 20214 yr https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-city-limits-permit-for-october-not-approved-yet-city-says/? Anyone know more about this?
September 9, 20214 yr I saw their story on it last night. It would be impossible for everyone attending to meet that requirement.
September 9, 20214 yr Their legal hope was that people who opposed the vaccine would see the first part where they could just produce a negative test within a prescribed timeframe prior to "curtains up" and be fine. Adler was fine with that, Abbott was fine with that. Now because of a few other newsworthy bills being passed, Adler doesn't want ACL taking place unless it's 100% unvacc'd (there's a reason why Austin Kiddie Limits was barely included this year and only in the last couple weeks). Abbott wants it to take place and has told the (2) Charlies as such...no masks, no mandates, nothing but fat lines of covid blow off port-a-potty shelves. This is gonna be hashed out in the public forum of insanity for a few weeks. But C3 Presents is preparing for bring proof of one or the other and have a good time. Otherwise, get fucked.
September 10, 20214 yr I don’t see the numbers getting any better in three weeks. If Asleep at the Wheel pulls out, it’s all over.
September 10, 20214 yr Adler, "If I've lost Asleep at the Wheel, I've lost the Middle Austin." Preliminary production staging is due to start this week, with full-scale production staging kicking into high gear next week including the requisite park closure. Edited September 10, 20214 yr by Lobo
September 14, 20214 yr Saw Glass Animals the other night at Moody Amphitheater and they had testing/vaccine requirements. Now it was only for a 5k-seat auditorium but the whole process was smooth and they accepted my laminated, color copy of my vaccine card…so hoping to have a similar experience next month.

I used printed copies of our vaccine cards for both Moody Amphitheater and Moody Theater this past week. They don't even look at. You could flash a restaurant menu and they'd wave you through.

Just like security lines at ACL every year wherein we scope out the DGAF guy/gal to be able to sneak stuff in
September 16, 20214 yr Got my wristbands in the mail, which got me excited and I momentarily forgot how shitty the lineup is.
September 18, 20214 yr Couple articles recently saying the city will require a negative test regardless of vaccination status. Been reading rumblings of this for a week now but official site still says vaccine card or test results. Given testing isn’t exactly easy to find last month or so, wish they’d make up their damn mind so we can plan…I may book tests for my wife and I now for the Wednesday before, just to be sure.

Head of Austin Public Health doc said, as of Friday, vaccine cards are still fine. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/will-you-need-to-be-covid-19-tested-to-get-into-acl-heres-what-we-know/ There's no logistical way to have that many people get tests within 72 hours. If they try, it will fail spectacularly.
September 18, 20214 yr Yeah that’s my expectation, and hope. The thought of 60k+ people all trying to get tested in the days before the fest makes me crazy…especially if they require PCR with variable lead times.
September 19, 20214 yr The ACL site currently says proof of full vaccination is enough. BUT, the wording of the health policy says that a printed proof of vaccination is required, so a phone image won’t be accepted. Edited September 19, 20214 yr by South Austin
September 20, 20214 yr I did Sea Hear Now over the weekend and it was the same policy and took an extra 10 seconds to get in.
September 20, 20214 yr Has anyone NOT received their wristbands yet? When should I start getting concerned?

I’m going weekend 2 and it says they will be delivered on Thursday. So if you haven’t already received at least a shipping notice, I would contact them. Especially since customer service everywhere is slower due to shortages. May take them a bit longer than usual to sort things out
