We saw so many great bands...David Ford, The Greyhounds, Guster, Gnarls Barkley, Gomez, Los Loney Boys, Ray Lamontagne, Van Morrison (that was just the first day)
Day one...the first concert of the day...the least crowded show we saw, the crowds came later!
...Nada Surf, The Shins, The Raconteurs, Aimee Mann, Iron & Wine, Willie Nelson...
That is Willie playing behind us Saturday Night
Kathleen Edwards, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Buckwheat Zydeco, Matisyahu, Ben Harper, G Love and the Special Sauce and Tom Petty closed the show. Saw some old favorites and found some new ones.
Buckwheat Zydeco...what a fun, happpy show...listen to them when you need a pick me up!
No...it is not a rock star...but Lance Armstrong introducing Ben Harper (and just in case you were curious...Matthew McConaughey was there too)
My only complaint...it was HUMID...I swear I lost 5 pounds from sweating pretty much non stop for 3 days...I don't think I smelled very good either...oh well...and it rained the last day...little muddy...then it POURED during Tom Petty's set...we looked like drowned rats...guess we should have brought ponchos or trash bags!
Anyway, great time...highly recommend it if you are in the area...would love to go again but gotta work it out with my babysitter (aka Chris...5 days with the boys was A LOT to ask, but they came through with flying colors!!)
Thanks to my cousins for all the great Austin spots information...got to go to some really good Tex Mex and felt like a local!
Our last night out...actually our only night out come to think of it...we were too wiped out from all the sweating!! This is us after the down pour. This place had a good live band (can't remember who??) and the owner was sitting next to us and gave us some free t-shirts...thats her over Jessica's shoulder
