Saturday I got off work at 3:00, picked up a ticket for Giffy K and headed to the festival. We got to park at Blake's law firm, so the walk was not bad at all....
IT WAS SOO HOT AND DUSTY... and I loved every minute of it....
I saw:
Death Cab for Cutie - great show, good to hear their new stuff on there.. I love the new album.
John Butler Trio - watched them while we ate. I just love their sound, so chill.
The dirty Dozen Brass Band - wished we could have stayed longer.
Jet - It could have "rocked a little harder" but Giffy K's yelling made it all worth it :)
Bloc Party- awesome show, really want to get a little more into their music. I like it.
Oasis- horrible...enough said
Widespread panic - AMAZING, favorite show of the day. I love hippy dancing...
I got off work at 3:00 again on sunday, and headed back down, to hang in the 108 degree heat...Gotta Love Texas.
I saw:
The Arcade Fire - BEST SHOW OF THE FESTIVAL... I am in love... its been a while.
The Decemberists - Had never heard them, but I am impressed.
Wilco - They were good. I think the show was a lot better for those that knew all the songs. They didn't do much for new listeners. We left early.
Franz Ferdinand - Just caught the tale end from far away, but they sounded good.
The Black Keys - great band, one of my favorite perfomances there.
Coldplay - I was wondering what kind of show they would put on, because their music is so chill and depressing. But they were awesome, even played some Johnny Cash... maybe just because we are in Texas, but who knows. I did not want them to stop...

Over all, it was an amazing adventure. I fear that I am going to be spending some money on CD's... donations accepted.Friday night was solid downtown action... Great little weekend.... :) I love music so much.
