ACL Day Two

From Left to Right: Ben (qualitykill), Paul (skacubby), Scott and Chris.

Another day in the books as we saw The Fratellis, MGMT, John Fogarty, Robert Earl Keen, Alison Krause and Robert Plant and a great set from Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Lots of energy today. Many more people in the park today than yesterday, so much so we couldn't leave where we were to go see Iron and Wine. Sad about that, but still some good fun and good people here, again.

Some crazy lady insisted she take this photo of us from my iPhone. She did not know how to use it, and this was the third try. So much for me back there! Another girl wanted to know all about us because she saw the Bear episode of Kathy Griffin and recognized the Bear Flag.

Now my cold has really kicked in. Not good, especially with all the dust kicked up in the park.

ACL Day Three

Well, I started today with a horrible cold, possibly flu that had me looking for medicine at an HEB at 4:30 am. After that there was the crazy guy at the McDonalds that seemed to be yelling about some conspiracy theories about Louisiana cops and gay firemen. If this wasn't a bad enough sign, then a bird crapped on me as we entered the park for the last day of the festival.

Just about all the bears and several other people to come to see Nakia and his band make their ACL debut. He rocked, sweated and thrilled the crowd.

Since there wasn't another band we wanted to see until the evening, we went back downtown to go to the Lone Star Bears Beer Bust. While there I started feeling worse and worse. I wanted to get to the hotel before I felt too weak to get back to the parking garage. I spent most of the afternoon and evening here in the hotel bed.

Chris along with Sean and Karl went back to see Gnarls Barkley and the Foo Fighters, who close the show.

I'd rather be having fun with the boys. Boo for being sick. Hopefully I'll be feeling better before we drive home tomorrow.
