I love music. Blues on the Green last night got me excited. I can’t wait for ACL! The lineup came out today. I’ve got a highlighter and tape to self laminate the color printed maps and schedules I’ve printed.
Blues on the Green is a concert series they set up at Zilker Park downtown. I’ve never been to a concert where I was able to pay less attention to the music. There were way more people than I had expected and I’m surprised this is the first time I went (and that it was Velvet’s idea). They had a great setup going – vendors and that sort of stuff – and the night cooled down perfectly.
I’ve made the improvement to my ACL plan to actually bring stuff this time and stop trying to tough out three days in the sun sans luggage. Mike, my husband, is a great concert companion since he does not actually care what we listen to, as it all sounds like “hippie crap” to him. At least he doesn’t whine.
I don’t know if we’ll disagree or not. . . I just printed the schedule and looked through it and I don’t think I’m going to be that difficult.
On my priority list are:
Matt Nathanson
Gnarls Barkley
John Mayer
Van Morrison
Tom Petty
On my wouldn’t suck to see list are:
Del Castillo
Asleep at the Wheel
Los Lonely Boys
I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness
What Made Milwaukee Famous
String Cheese Incident
The New Pornographers
So, I’m kinda difficult about Friday, but the rest of the weekend is pretty much your call (assuming your call includes Tom Petty).
WOOHOO!
