We went to Austin City Limits music festival on Friday and Sunday of this past weekend. What a blast! The kids had so much fun, as did we. Friday was the perfect day. Weather was great, lines were short and the bands rocked! We saw alot of great talent, but one that stands out from that day for us is the band Pheonix. They are from France and we really like them alot. Also, the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s who are Lola’s favorite right now. She was so excited to be able to see them play live.
Sunday found us under deep grey skies and threatening to pour down on us…but it never did. Saturday it rained all day and so the mud was thick at the park. We didn’t go Saturday, but with the way the mud was on Sunday I can only imagine how it was in the rain! The girls LOVED stomping through it though. And while it didn’t rain on us (we were prepared), it was humid! Still didn’t bring us down though as we saw the B52’s. Despite reminding me of just how old I’m getting, they still can put on a show..haha! We also saw The Dead Weather which is Jack White‘s latest project (He is also in the White Stripes). We LOVE them and they don’t disappoint.
We spent a huge chunk of time in the kid’s area with the girls on Friday. Both were thrilled as they got their hair colored, Xi got a tattoo, Lola got to jam with the School of Rock kids as well take part in a Hip-Hop workshop. She rapped away and then they gave her a CD they’d recorded of her…she felt like the star for sure! The guys running that workshop were the Q Brothers and they were great with the kids. On Sunday they did an improv rap for the Buddy Bucks guy that had Jason and I rolling on the floor…all about why they don’t sell more organic and local produce at HEB…haha! The School of Rock All-Stars were amazing kids as well! They covered some good, old fashion rock and roll tunes and did a great job. The last act we saw was a DJ who goes by Girl Talk. He samples tons of different music and just has a very unique and fun style. The crowd was going crazy! Lola and I danced and danced.
So we’ll return to our regularly scheduled AmLo Farms fare in a moment…for now, enjoy the pictures of our weekend.
Bummed that I missed it. Sounds like there was a great lineup. But my great aunt turned 100, so she took priority!
I LOVE the B-52's. I'm so jealous. A friend of mine met them at a bar in Asheville called Hairspray. He had no idea who they were.
About the pineapple sage, let me send you some rooted cuttings this fall when I send you datura seeds. Be sure to email me what you want soon. I've been hoarding things for the winterswap seed swap I'm hosting.
What a fun post Cat!
It looks like an incredible time!
