Austin City Limits Music Festival - September 16-18, 2011 - Zilker Park

Wow .. such a great local festival. C3 does it up with Friday, Saturday, & Sunday of non stop action. So the lowdown. Thursday I packed my moto with festival gear, got the hell outta dodge, (shout out to my hometown friend KT) and headed southbound. Some straight up cold chillin' with some good friends during the night time.

Friday morning I pulled a sling shot to Flipnotics and landed early at Zilker Park to catch some of the soundchecks.. Great, great venue, Zilker Park baby! Futurebirds, Asleep at the Wheel, Wild Beasts, and just a rockin' afternoon with some great cloud cover to blow out that Texas heat. What happens when Beardyman shaves? Bright Eyes and Pretty Lights .. get ya some of that. Topped it off with some KW through the mix and an amazing moto ride home into the cool air. Awesome day with friends!!

Saturday morning came with the cooler temperatures and the first surprise of the day .. Elizaveta. Federico Aubele, Telekinesis, Young the Giant, Black Dub. Good solid bluegrass from Alison Krauss & Union Station w/ Jerry Douglas on dobro. Great bluegrass show with a light rain tightening down the acoustics. Amazing!! Solid Skrillex performance and another chill to the air moto ride home. Watched some college football and caught Saturday Night Live to end a fantastic day.

Sunday morning I met some friends for an old school Magnolia Cafe brunch and grabbed some road home. (By the way, the electronic suspension control on my moto is bad ass) I hope my friends had a great day at festival today. What a weekend!
