There are semi-circle shaped areas in front of every stage where CHAIRS ARE NOT ALLOWED. So if you plan on being up front, you'll need to stash your chair at the American Airlines lockers. I'm not sure how much they are charging. Or, bring a blanket. The entire area was re-sodded according to someone that lives nearby Zilker Park.
Ladies, bring tissue for when the porta-potties run out of TP.
The mosquito repellent is for real. They come out at dusk and at night mostly but are also in shady areas.
See you there..... can't wait to see them in my own city!

FYI - suppose to rain, 2 to 4 inches this weekend in Austin, so be prepared.
Don't miss them crooked vultures on friday. Too many good bands to miss out on, but Sunday is what really counts!

We're in for more clouds than sunshine today... a tropical, warm, and breezy Thursday full of weather transition! Another cold front drops south through the Lone Star State, arriving here this evening. Our outlook for October: wetter than average!
There's a 30% chance for showers and storms to break out before the front arrives then a 40% overall rain chance tonight, so be ready for possible slick streets. The Storm Prediction Center advises a SLIGHT RISK for severe weather here through Friday morning, namely in the form of damaging winds and hail in the strongest storms. Showers will end and clouds eventually break up tomorrow, though temps won't rebound more than low 80s.
Wetter Weekend... Pull out your galoshes, we're looking at a much wetter setup of steady rain that looks to take hold for Saturday and parts of Sunday -- a 50% rain chance now -- with potential for 2-4 inches in our area. Not what we had hoped to hear with the ACL Festival in mind, but we sure do need that rain.
Where is it coming from? A disturbance we watched move off the west coast of Mexico is now southwest of Baja, and the subtropical jet stream is now picking up some of the moisture and streaming it towards Texas. Eventually, the low pressure area itself is expected to flow right up to Texas, adding greater instability and uplift to an already moist atmosphere.
Check out the latest details on the 8-day forecast.

rain sunday would clear out the crowd like it did a few years ago for Petty. fine with me...
yup...the crowd tends to die off a bit before the main headliner anyway, so this helps!!
we're leaving tonight!!! going to hit 6th street with some friends & then we're heading to Zilker on Friday morning!!! hard to believe it's only hours away!!!

Good ideas, weenie! I forgot about the tissues!
Check my thread for other tips about ACL and add your own!
Just got the ACL insert from the new Chronicle delivered here to work. Found some things you all may be interested in, particularly out-of-towners:
1. It looks like the shuttles don't start running until 10:00 a.m.
2. Waterloo Records is going to have a tent. You can go in and sign-up to win an Ames Poster signed by all the band members. WHAT A SCORE!!!!!!!
3. If you park in some of the surrounding neighborhoods, you could get towed.
3. American Airlines WILL have a bag and chair check stand.
4. Food Items look to be priced around $6 - $7 average. There's a vendor called Boomerang's who claims to have the fastest lines and serves meat as well as vegetarian and vegan pies. Of course there's everything else under the sun and prices go up, the more "sophisticated" your tastes are.
Also, the music critic gave Backspacer a fairly decent review.

I sure hope I meet some of you guys there close to the stage after the gates open. I would like to grab a spot for my chairs and stuff but my GF wants to leave to go see Ben Harper. I hope I make friends so we can latch onto a group and I can take her to see him and not worry about losing a good spot that we secure early in the day.

Chuy's will be tought to get to since I think they shut that road down at the S. Lamar intersection. If you are around the city Saturday, check out a place called Quatro's by campus. It's my buddies place and great for college FB watching with tons of flat screens. I'll be there Saturday.

1. there are no chairs allowed up close. you will see signs.
2. leaving to go see ben and then coming back to find your spot for pearl jam is crazy.
