Sunday was rough. I woke up with a bad head cold. I doped myself up on Nyquil and off we went!

The Music:

• KT Tunstall – pretty good. That “cherry tree” song didn’t even bother me that much.
• Jack Ingram – I’m guessing is from Texas and is even worse that Corey Morrow or Pat Green – too country, not enough country music.
• Matisyahu – all the songs kind of sounded alike but were good. Fun show.
• The New Pornographers – almost ruined my weekend and quite possibly could have driven me to rip my ears off my head if it weren’t for me leaving to get a snow cone.
• Ben Harper– good every time. The Marley’s went up and sang for the finale – what a great memory to have.
• MUSE – was excellent. Didn’t fit in with the rest of all this hippie music but woke everyone up. Loved it.
• Tom Petty – we got great seats – and he played 4 songs.

Then the rain came. About half the crowd left. We walked slow, the rain slowed, and sure enough he made it back out for another hour of music. Some a little slow, but that was tolerable – I just watched snippy dance. Like Van Morrison, another classic I can check off my list…but no where near as thrilling as some past ACL headliners.

The Festival:

• was humid
• MK found a dollar – so he had a good time
• we got free (albeit nasty) pizza for dinner
• skirts are better than shorts
• I was happy it was over when it was over!!
