So I got to go to Austin City Limits over the weekend. Craziness ensued. A few things that happened:
1. I sat next to Ben Bridwell on the flight down. Ben is the lead singer of Band of Horses and one of the nicest guys I've ever met. We talked for like 2 hours and I met his wife and 5 month old daughter who is absolutely adorable. Ben hooked me up with some backstage stuff as well.
2. I got a hug from Jenny Lewis. She was having a slice of pizza backstage after the Band of Horses Aftershow on Saturday night. I love Jenny the same way I love Emily. Hoping to meet up with her when she's in town this weekend.
3. I saw 53 bands.
4. I took 8200 photos (exactly).
5. I saw Foo Fighters! And immediately after the first three songs that I was allowed to shoot I ran away.
6. I got very little sleep.
7. I gained a definite love and respect for breakfast tacos. They are delicious, especially with egg, cheese, onions and peppers. Chorizo is great on tacos as well.
8. I saw Austin for the first time. I loved the city - well, what I saw of it when I wasn't on the festival grounds. I look forward to going back down and spending more time around town, getting some good BBQ and TexMex. All things in good time.
9. I got a pair of Toms.
10. I met some kindred photo spirits. Good people.
Looks like I'll probably be going back down to Austin in a few weeks for Fun Fun Fun Fest. Looks like the festival might even be paying for my flight so I can speak on a panel about music blogging on Brooklyn Vegan's behalf.
Check out my photos of ACL here!

Yay Toms!!!
And you have the coolest job ever. Without a doubt.
Sounds awesome :)
...lucky!
I am so happy to get some last chaos gold and the lastchaos gold is given by my close friend who tells me that the lastchaos money is the basis to enter into the game. Therefore, I should buy last chaos gold with the spare money and I gain some cheap lastchaos gold from other players.
