Day one of the 2011 Fun Fun Fun Fest was a blast. Weather was nice and cool. New home on Auditorium Shores was unfortunately as dusty as the infamous 2005 ACL "dustbowl," but otherwise the location was spread out and roomy with no bleeding of sound between stages. Food vendors this year are excellent -- big shout outs to the Austin Daily Press for making a mean meatball sandwich and my man Beef over at Handshakes for making the pancake shake dream come alive.
Music-wise, the day was a big success too. Omar Souleyman got the crowd clapping early. The Thermals were 100% energy. Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears made Austin proud and the made the crowd git funky. Okkervil River sounded powerful. Public Enemy brought the noise as strongly as they did back in 1988.
Hope to give a full rundown when I have time, but I'm off for day two. In the meantime, enjoy the day one pictures:
