Weeeeee ~ for my 21st birthday present to myself, I'm going to the Austin City Limits Festival, otherwise known as ACLfest!!!
I had initially given up on even attending it, since the ticket price was around $150+ and I wasn't interested in most of the bands other than Muse. And even with Muse, I didn't know for sure if they would be playing, since their website didn't confirm the tourdate. So I decided to not go, and look for ways to get to either Houston or Dallas to see them in September. Then I found that the pre-sale for all their TX concerts were sold out T___T.
So I had given up.
Then, just for the hell of it, I decided to check the ACLfest website. I found out that Deadboy and the Elephantmen were playing at it, and followed a link over, and what do I find? There are single-day passes still offered for Friday and Sunday -- AND ON SUNDAY MUSE IS PLAYING. Plus TOM PETTY. Like, I'm SOLD. So I snagged a $55 one-day pass for Sunday, and I intend to enjoy it. I mean, check the other groups that I also get to see KT Tunstall, Matisyahu and Damian Marley. It's fan-fucking-tastic!!!!! But of course, it's all about Muse and Tom Petty, especially since it's Tom's last tour.
If anybody is reading this and planning on being there on Sunday, Sept. 15th, I wouldn't mind somebody to go around with. I have a friend who's going to be there for the whole thing, so I probably will try to find her at some point as well.
