ACL

[Dalya]

Is anyone planning to go?

3 day passes are gone but I know a few people who have some to sell. I'm trying to decided for sure whether to go for just Saturday, all 3 days, or not at all. Man Man is on Saturday. That's the #1 draw for me this year. I sort of have to wait to get the syllabi for my classes to make sure I don't have like 4 exams the following Monday, but I think I really want to go.

at times I say yeah, but then other times i remember what a beating it was last year and then i remember when i skip a year a forget what a beating it can be and how fun it always is...

then I read about the fun fun fun fest and remember I couldn't go see murder city devils last year because of some dumb ole wedding thing but then I see the lineup and remember it being cheap and think i'll be there. it's in october... mmmmm cool austin weather. i miss austin just now. in october.
