3rd update. i promise no more for tonight.
the ACL fest lineup is out now. i have been way too spoiled these past two years that i had gone, and now i am slightly disappointed about the lineup for this year. i'm paying more for my ticket, and fewer acts are really exciting me. i know i'm whining, but i'm sure i will have a great time, and i will look at it as a way to discover new artists or become more familiar with artists i've heard a few songs of.

Tom Petty, Van Morrison, Massive Attack, String Cheese Incident, Ben Harper, Flaming Lips, John Mayer, Raconteurs, Los Lonely Boys, The Shins, Ween, Thievery Corporation, Ben Kweller, G Love and the Special Sauce, Matisyahu, Gnarls Barkley, Damien Rice, Cat Power and the Memphis Rhythm Band, Ray Lamontagne.
