ACL was amazing. Regardless of the monsoon that flooded Zilker on Saturday- this might have been my favorite one yet. Even after standing in the terrible muggy heat for over an hour to watch Passion Pit from 10 rows back, nearly fainting from heat exhaustion and being covered in mud. It was all worth it.
Highlights from who I saw:
Phoenix- blue sky, green grass, cool breeze, #1 for overall experience including weather
Thievery Corporation- not much to say other than Friday was awesome.
Kings of Leon- sounded amazing- near record quality, #5 for overall show experience
Airborne- first show of the day, before the monsoon.
Bon Iver- Mellow and quiet after standing in the pouring rain for 45 minutes- surreal
STS9- Amazing. Great crowd, great music, even in the rain.
Ghostland- UT band on stage, awesome move. Add in glowsticks=overall goodtime
Passion Pit- Up front, stage center. Great show.
Girl Talk- Perfect way to end ACL 2009.
