The Austin City Music Fest was awesome. Stevie Wonder was great. Social D was great, I was a little disappointed with Foster The People. It sounded like a CD on a big radio. It just didn't seem Live. Ray LaMontagne was cool and laid back, good show. I choose Cold Play Over Kanye West, Never cared for the guy. Cold Play was great. J Roddy Walston & the Business, great name by the way, tore the house down. I didn't care for Iron & Wine but my wife liked them and it was her choice. Messed TV on the Radio and My Morning Jacket. Stevie was Awesome. I missed Mariachi el Bronx, kinda bummed about that. Did get to see the last half of the Walkmen, they were ok. Fleet Foxes were OK, not really my scene. Arcade Fire did really well, great light show.

Social Distortion was my fav, I stood in line for an autograph for over an hour. During this time the D bags behind me started encroaching on my space and pushing forward. They started talking to the couple in front of the guy in front of me and were stuck there. I let it go and half way threw the line, the need to pee hit me. Then the guy heading the autographs made the announcement they they were running late and would only do another 30 mins. then five and then one. I got to about 6th in line and the guy that had made the announcements opened the gate and let in everyone but me. It looked like he was going to end it and I announce, while pointing. "They jumped the line!, If they get in and I don't I'm going to start some shit." The guy stated that " There's not need to start some shit and let me slide in." The big rockabilly greaser behind me hit me in the shoulder and handed me a CD. If your the last one can you get my CD signed. I said sure. After the guy saw him and heard me. he let in another group of 5 or so and closed the line. I was smiling from ear to ear and was like a kid while talking to the guys. The last 3 days were AWESOME. Now I'm like 5'9", 180 lbs. Not a big guy and almost round. I'm no threat to anyone. So I was surprised that my start some shit comment worked. The Social D concert was great. Played most of the new stuff an some of the great oldies. Had some distortion/humming during some of the songs and you could see they were not to happy with that. It kinda distracted them. They ended the show with ring of fire and my drunk wife danced her ass off.

Over all I had a great time with my wife. The last three days were great.
