ACL-Day One

Just some basic descriptions of my day:

1. Arrived in Austin at 12:20ish[Friday]or so
2. Drove around for about an hour and then parked where I had initially thought about parking. Total cost for parking $20.
3. Walked for like what seemed another 1/2 hour
4. Hard core tired, and finished the water I was going to drink during the festival.

Then it's like just like the good kind of chaos in there. Lots of stages and tons and tons of people. I was able to get fairly close to watch Avett Brothers and Phoenix [I touched the lead singer's elbow! but when I repeat the story I'll say shoulder]. Then went to see Bassnectar and sit down to write the poem I was inspired to write while watching Avett Brothers. I was watching Ghostland Observatory, and realized they can't make me fall into a dancing long grey haired man-young woman with a beautiful smile type of love. So I walked over to where John Legend was playing "Ordinary People" and realized I could in love to this.
People can manage to get upset with all this music and people around them: stupid.
Then I watched Them Crooked Vultures who put on a good show and the grand finale was Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which were awesome with their singing and having fun.

Then it was another walk [but this time it felt shorter] to the car, getting to hotel, checking in, and looking for food. By midnight was settled with 3 "Deluxe" Jack-in-the-Box burgers and a 6-pack of Modelos. I got through 3 of each.

In the end, I didn't care about those $20 for parking but maybe if I am going to spend that much I should go earlier. I plan to today [then again its already 10am].

So far I am ready for next year. The weather sounds interesting today. Maybe some rain.
