Notice a fixation on the Austin City Limits Music Festival here on From Boston to Austin lately? Around this time of year, we tend to start thinking more deeply about ACL: The band schedule, how to arrange our day, who we'll be looking out for in the crowd, what new gear we might need. It usually corresponds with the change of season. Fall is in the air. Sure, even here in Central Texas, there are signs of autumn's arrival, although they're a lot different from what many of you are used to (i.e., when you don't immediately feel like you're going to pass out from heat exhaustion if you step outside, then fall must be near in Central Texas).
From now until the gates open at 11:00 on October 8, From Boston to Austin is going to keep its all-seeing eye focused on ACL 2010. To get into the spirit, we've added a few new items on the right: The playlist we mentioned a few posts ago, a countown, and a mix of some of my favorite artist photos from the last few festivals. I hope they don't bog down the website too much!
Expect some posts too. We hope to cover a variety of aspects of the festival, like which bands we're excited to be seeing, where to eat and drink, news from the organizers, and tips on withstanding the heat.
Spread the word, and check back in soon!
