    That said, I'm guessing I'd only be missing the Low Anthem on Friday when getting the tickets, and maybe Devotchka and a bit of Levon Helm on Saturday night? The auditorium isn't exactly close to the park, so I'm guessing we'd have to cab it.

    Hmm. I'm going to see what my buddy wants to do, and go from there.

    Are you guys getting any impression that there is any possibility one could get shut out of the simulcast if you were lucky enough to get tickets on Friday? It says they are giving away over 400 tickets, but I think the Hogg Auditorium holds 1200 or so. It doesn't sound like they're space available tickets. Arrrrgh. I guess I just want to make sure the tickets are a sure thing if I trek over to KLRU to get them.

    And damn. The generosity and civic-mindedness of this band continues to amaze and humble me; I shall stop my ticket whining. Per the comments on the ACL blog:

    The [ACL taping] passes that would normally have gone to the public or the fan club are going to members of the Wounded Warriors at the band’s request. Here’s a link to their site: http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

    is it too early to start looking at the weather forecast? cause the last 3 days have absolutely sucked. 60's and wet.

    I'll take 60s (I am a Yankee, after all :mrgreen: ) but I could do without the rain!

    just looked at the forecast---looks like highs in the mid 80's & lows in the mid 60's. that sounds fine to me!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    God I hope the weather is decent. It was great last year!

    Good luck to all those that are going to try and get in the simulcast. I think I am sticking with the festival, so there's at least one person out of your way

    Just so y'all know, KLRU is providing FREE BEER for the simulcast party!!

    That said, I am still on the fence. Two things are making me want to go.. 1) Remote chance there are no shows and I get into the taping 2) The only people at this simulcast are likely to hard core 10Clubbers. I have never met any of y'all from Austin so It'd be nice to hang out with some like minded people from my hometown.

    Hey Hookem ...

    Point 1 and 2 are exactly why I'm going! The free beer is an added bonus ... =)

    ok guys, I see that No Way was played after people had campaigned for it on the forums here so that leads me to believe that the band is perhaps paying attention to requests on these forums. We should campaign for a song to be played at ACL for us. Any thoughts? I'd personally love to hear Footsteps, WMA, Black, Red, Yellow or Brain of J

    I am hoping for one or more of these: smile, red mosquito, no way, lat exit, release, satan's bed, or all those yesterdays.

    Part of me wonder if we'll here bushleaguer, but I am thinking we are through that phase

    Red Mosquito is something I want to hear again. It's been a long time. I hope No Way stays on the setlist for a little while longer.

    I'm hoping for some of the new stuff. I am loving the musical genius of this new CD..... :D

    Hope you all enjoy the show! I went to Outside Lands in SF and they owned it. There is nothing like your favorite band taking the stage and wowing the unwashed! People were amazed that they could put on such an incredible orgnanic show like that. No frills...just crazy human energy.

    I have been packed for weeks!!!!!! :mrgreen: :ugeek:
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......
