austin city limits festival, day three

I'm having a wonderful time. You can read the updated posts here.

I've really enjoyed hanging out at the festival by myself. The only time I wished I had a friend with me was when I walked by the giant jackalope. I really wanted my picture taken on it. Right before I left I handed my camera to a stranger and I'm glad I did.

Kim, I'm sorry - wore the Chucks to the festival and an assortment of other sensible shoes There were lots of young things in mini-skirts and cowboy boots. I'm old enough to go for comfort on the 90 degree days. Hell, I'm old enough that these Chucks were made in the USA.

After ACLF I found my way to the Continental Club and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip. I loved being there and felt at home sipping my whiskey and leaning against the wall watching the band and the dancers. Several of my guitar-playing friends love Redd Volkeart, and I can see why. Chatting with him turned in to a great brush of guitar fame. The guitar player from the Foo Fighters joined our conversation. Wheeeee!

It looks and sounds like you are having a great time. Glad you got that picture of you and the Jackalope. Wish we had the jackalope at Blogstock.
Never heard of Chucks before but hey, as long as they are comfortable.
