ACL 2011-Day Three

We began day three with breakfast at the Galaxy Cafe in the Triangle.  Josh, Mary, Trevor, June (their bull dog beagle mix), and I had an awesome breakfast.  Josh and I had never been there before, but it was really swanky and neato.  I got a saucer with my coffee cup, need I say more?

Awhile later, Mary and Trevor picked me up and we headed out to our final day of music filled fun!  When we got to the park, we caught the last half of The Head and The Heart.  I thought they were pretty good.

After that, the Walkmen played and they were super awesome!

Next, we saw Broken Social Scene, which was also really good.

Then, we headed over to Death From Above 1979.  This is not my kind of listen to at home music, but it is great for festivals!  They were super awesome and very fun to dance to.

On the way back to the group, Mary and I stopped at Gomez.  They were pretty good too.  There was also this adorable old man baby that was way too little to be at a super loud festival with no ear plugs/earphones.

We saw some of the Fleet Foxes.  They were alright too, just not completely my thing.  After that, we headed to the other side of the park and saw the end of Manu Chao La Ventura.  They are so full of energy, they had the whole crowd dancing.  Although, they weren't singing in English, I was totally loving it.

Next, Social Distortion came on and they completely rocked!

On the way back over to meet up with our group, we stopped to see some Randy Newman.  Although he didn't play my favorite (You've Got a Friend in Me), he was great.  He's still got it, for sure.

After catching the end of Empire of the Sun, it was finally time for the big closer, Arcade Fire!

They were wonderful, just like they were the first year I went to ACL and saw them in the middle of 107 degree weather.  This has been a great ACL year, the only thing that could've improved it would have been Josh being there.  But, he says he will come next year!  Yay!

After I got home from the festival, Josh and I had a double date at Trudy's with Lily and Javi.  It was so much fun!  I hadn't been to Trudy's in awhile and almost forgot how yummy their mexican martinis are.  We had a great time and ended up closing the place down (by that, I mean the dining room closed at midnight and we were there for a good 30 minutes later before we realized everyone was cleaning up and starting to give us the eye).  Great times!
