Austin City Limits

Since I attended this year's ACL Music Fest, I decided to take a look at the blogs that have posted their comments about the event already. Most blogs I searched for just offered photos and a couple of comments, but there were a couple that actually delved into their opinion of the festival.

The first is by a girl named Heather who writes a blog called A Comedy of Errors, hosted by LiveJournal. She talked about how she thinks that ACL is overrated:

HOWEVER I do not think ACL should be hyped up as much as it is every year. Yes, it's great. Yes, there are a lot of great artists. Yes, weird people come in from all over the world to over-populate Austin. But it's a music festival, not the first/second/third (depending on who you ask) coming of Christ.

Whatever. It's not the coming of christ, of course, but I think it's hyped as it should be. She did throw some love out for Regina Spektor, and I can appreciate that. Yay.

Another blog, Texas Oasis, had an entry for all three days of ACL. Texas Oasis is written by an older lady called Blueberry. She enjoyed the festival and had a few pictures, video and mp3 files to share on the blog.

Both bloggers mentioned the fire that exploded behind the port-a-potties that injured a few people during Bela Fleck's show. Neither one of them seemed too sure about what happened, but it was interesting to see both people's perspectives.
