AHHHHH, did anyone see the column I just tried to upload, only to have Movable Type commit hari kari and fling the entry out into the ocean? Anyone? If not, don't worry, it wasn't that great. The gist:
If you're going to ACL Fest this year, bring a hat and a chair, and avoid the booze.
My worst ACL experience ever dealt with the potent afternoon line-up of Modest Mouse, Dashboard Confessional, and the Pixies. The first played for 30 minutes and stopped, the second was as terrible as I feared, and I was almost trampled like a South American at a futbol riot during the third. Serves me right for giving Dashboard Confessional a chance. My best ACL experience was probably right before this craphammer got thrown down on me.
Don't worry, everybody, if I find the real entry, I'll put it up here since this is quite boring. If I don't and you never hear from me again, know that I went down happily, in the way I wanted: eating quesadillas, drinking heineken, and saying, "My neck is definitely getting sunburned, isn't it?" Ajua!
