September 28, 20187 yr I bet If you asked, McCartney would play again on Sunday. But hey, our town is all growns up
September 28, 20187 yr Really surprised they couldn't get Muse to fill the vacancy.Asleep at the Wheel evening show?

September 28, 20187 yr We're just doing the Friday of Weekend 2 (going hard all three days is no country for old men...) The plan as of now: 12:45 - Big Thief 1:45 - REIGNWOLF 2:45 - Alvvays OR NoName OR beer run/food break 3:45 - David Byrne 4:45 - Manchester Orchestra OR Lily Allen 5:45 - The National 6:45 - Father John Misty OR push up as close as possible for McCartney 7:45 - Paul McCartney Feel free to ridicule this plan or advise on any act I may be sleeping on. Cheers 🍻 Last year we went early to "Kiddie Limits" to watch our neighbor's kid perform 80s new wave hits with Charlie Sexton and the Barton Hills Choir. Honestly, it was pretty cool.

My trusted REI backback that I've been bringing to ACL for the past 10 years is now prohibited, and I have to find one of those simple backsacks with a drawstring and no pockets.

I was so goddamn mad about this. How am I going to get my flask in now? You can check my sweaty taint you sorry motherfuckers.
October 4, 20187 yr Author 2 minutes ago, Chad Fuck said: You can check my sweaty taint you sorry motherfuckers Oh believe me, they will. Last year was the first time I noticed that the frisks were more . . . uh . . . frisky. Security has apparently been given the directive to leave no ballsack unturned. I wish C3 would lighten the fuck up and be okay with a few flasks coming in. I'll still buy food and a few beers for Christ sake.
October 4, 20187 yr They made me toss an umbrella last year that I'd forgot to take out. Never mind I could look at across the fields at people with umbrellas wide open.
October 5, 20187 yr Can we bring in a small laptop? I want to do shit while sitting around. Old guy probably isn't going to festival/stage hop, just park in one place.
October 5, 20187 yr Just now, The Maestro said: are there any HDMI ports there? Of course. They're silver and go to 11.
October 5, 20187 yr I was just going to plug into the festival sound platform, so I'm not worried about that. I have a 50 foot USB cord. I just wanted to tether to my phone and look up porn for 5 hours. Would be a bitch if I can't. And I don't want to drag my little laptop 3 miles only to find out "no soup for you!". Bueller? Anyone?
October 5, 20187 yr I eagerly await your playlist for the soundsystem. I'm detecting a faint whiff of Eagles Greatest Hits with a slight Steve Miller vibe.
October 5, 20187 yr Points: 1) Some nice guy(? Hell maybe a girl? I dunno, #whiteguyculture) named Donaji replied it's okay. 2) I was thinking more All Wings, All The Time. Y'know, that great band he was in after that whatever thing band or somesuch the Iraq... 3) a) don't want hipster visitor with huge clip through head and tats that make her look like a stroodle; b) anything better than that, I mean really, they gonna go for moi? Maybe for allowance.
October 5, 20187 yr Since you went all Wings, this was one of my best moments at ACL relative to Wings that I can recall right now. I only hope the Macca delivers it.
October 5, 20187 yr Anyone going with small kids? Taking our 18 month old, who, you know, needs all kinds of supplies and shit to get through her day. Whats the deal with daiper bags? Yeah or nah?
October 5, 20187 yr there was one, ONE!, equally concerned parent on twitter who seemed to have found the answer I was seeking
October 5, 20187 yr Yeah, go through family line and start unpacking you as you approach your turn at security check. Look annoyed but don’t be a jerk and they kinda held expedite you as they quickly just sweep the lining of the bag. Humidity is gonna be a bitch this weekend so I’m sure they’ll be cool about you brining extra water for the little one. Sidenote—the underbutt is in full effect this year They’re real and they’re spectacular
October 5, 20187 yr I got in. It's not all that hot, but it's humid as fuck. This is my home for the next 6 hours. The National and David Byrne are both coming through here so I got no reason to get up and go anywhere Edited October 5, 20187 yr by phdhorn

October 5, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, Chad Fuck said: Tell me the mom jeans are falling out of fashion. Please. Of course there's the occasional hottie, but this looks more like a Vic ex-lovers Festival right now. More hail damage than the middle of Kansas after a tornado. fortunately if we have a cold snap and it gets down to -10 in the next few hours, there's more than enough body fat to cover me.
October 5, 20187 yr I'm in, sitting in the guest lounge, working on my third (free) drink of the day. I probably need to slow down a bit. The weather is perfect today. Good day for a festival. It seems like the crowds are heavier early in the day than they have been in the last few years, I think a lot of people are having the idea of coming out early. ACL Fest is my second favorite time of the year behind the opening day of college football.

October 5, 20187 yr the underbutt on the OU fans versus ACL fans may prove to be markedly different. Sorry to miss the OU game, but could only get tickets for this weekend instead of next after all.
October 5, 20187 yr imgur> Sunny, with a slight breeze. It's turned into a perfect day. I'm waiting for the David Byrne show to start and probably 90% of the people are young kids, 70% of those female. all of them are waiting for Khalid the act that follows David Byrne. I doubt very many of them have even heard of the Talking Heads. And for whatever reason the smell of marijuana is stronger here then anytime I can remember it ACL.
October 5, 20187 yr David Byrne holding a fake brain. Tire band is dressed in gray jumpsuits. Awesome!!! Edited October 5, 20187 yr by phdhorn
October 5, 20187 yr Before any one points it out, yes I was waitIng at the wrong stage for David Byrne. The act came on and I'm like WTF is this shit!
