Rain+Dillo Dirt+ACL= FUN!!!!!

This weekend was ACL!! Hooray! One of my favorite festivals of all time- although, I haven't been to many festivals! I took my camera on Friday. I got to see: Dr. Dog (yay!), Phoenix (so good!), Raphael Saadiq (he was AWESOME live- amazing voice), John Legend (who played my favorite Beatles song, how could I not love it?!?!), Them Crooked Vultures (eh) and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They were so super awesome great! Karen O (the lead singer) is so amazing. She changed costumes, rocked out on stage and had an amazing stage presence. I was beyond blown away! Here are some pics of the first day:

after, LP came and picked me up and we went and met some friends out at a bar. i was exhausted though, so i could only make it out anout an hour. sleepy!!!

Saturday, there was 70% chance of rain. I decided not to take my camera and thank goodness! I saw the BEST LIVE SHOW maybe possibly ever. A band called !!! (pronounced chk chk chk) and they rocked my face off. then we saw flogging molly and bon iver. it was a downpour the entire time. i'm so glad i didn't bring my camera! but luckily, i DID bring it sunday. um, yuck. it was this gross, wet, muddy, smelly barnyard of a place sunday. we found a grassy spot, parked it and listened to: white lies, arctic monkeys, passion pit, ben harper, girl talk and i was going to stay for pearl jam but the smell, mud and my overall exhaustion was too much. i had to leave. this is why:

now, you may notice the people in the center of this picture. they are covered in this smelly, disgusting sludge. because they all wrestled and slid around in it for a while. EWWWW!!!

repeat- oops! i have no idea how to delete pics!

so, that was my fun filled music weekend! enjoy and i'll keep taking the pictures!
