So ACl is this weekend, and for a few reasons I'm not going...but it seems like everyone esle and their gods are going. Which is so good! Last year I was an average ACL attendee who wanted to see the big names and didn't care about what was happening between Florence and the Machine and The Black Keys...mostly because I was parked at that stage for most of the day.
Some people question why someone would pay so much for tickets and not know what's going on all day...but it's so simple to me. My answer comes in two parts: 1. You could spend the $250 ticket price on tickets for ONE show...ACL is a magical bargain for concert lovers. 2. Even if I had no clue who was playing, ACL is just cool, and I think society values coolness. People love light shows and iphones, because they're cool. Because they're fun and convenient and cool. Anyway, people love music, it's an experience and I think it's one worth paying for. It's a chance worth taking.
Just in case you're going and don't have a plan yet: http://www.aclfestival.com/2013-lineup/
