ACL 2011-Day Two

The sky on the way to ACL
When we got to ACL yesterday, we saw a little bit of Young the Giant, which I really enjoyed.  Then, we met up with Camille, Floyd, Alta, and Peter for a little bit.  After that, we saw City and Colour.



It started raining, so as we were chilling under our umbrellas when I spotted Liz!  I also worked with her at Ben & Jerry's, so I went over and we caught up for awhile.  It was so good to see her!  It's funny because the last time I had seen her was at Eeyore's Birthday last year.  We joked about only seeing each other at Austin festivals.  Hopefully, I'll see her again sooner.  We talked more about the idea of a Ben & Jerry's reunion. I really hope it works out.


After City and Colour, Iron and Wine started playing.  They played a few good songs, but mostly it seemed like he was more focused on rocking out constantly with no specific song in mind, so we headed to the food.  I got these amazing pizza rolls with marinara from Austin Pizza. We listened to a little Skrillex from the safety of the covered eating area.  It finally stopped raining.  Then, it was time for Cee Lo.


He played some Gnarls Barley which was awesome.  I always enjoy seeing him.  Right after that, TV on the Radio started.  They were really great!  We've seen them before and they always put on a great show.







Then, we went to see some My Morning Jacket.  If you were to imagine what a rock and roll show would look like at a festival, it would be My Morning Jacket playing last night.  They looked like total rockstars and they were rocking out really awesomely.  The weather was perfect and their lights were great too.  It was a pretty neat time.


Finally, it was time to see Stevie Wonder.  We walked over, but the problem was the sound wasn't very loud on Stevie's stage and we could still hear My Morning Jacket.  Although we got to hear a some Stevie Wonder, we didn't stay for the whole show because it was really difficult to hear.  It was a great second day and it went by super fast.  We're about to head to day three!  I hope it doesn't rain again.
