I can handle the heat, but I don't want to be excreting brown phlegm from every orifice for months after the festival again. What can I say? It's just not my thang.

don't bet on it, re: RHCP, i decided i'd give them a shot after an 8 year break a few years ago and it was all stuff from the latest album. but we will keep fingers crossed for uplift mofo party plan or freaky styley. yes, they said they were going to resod and have mist tents and hydration systems, etc. i am sure after the outbreak of anger last year they will do their best to fix it. still skeptical, they can't shae the sun

They were able to control the dust at Lalopolooza last year and they are implementing the same thing for ACL. I guess the promoters learned from last year. Also, heard RHCP will be playing - let's just hope they leave the pop at home and bring their old stuff.

Yes, Michael, you are missing something obvious.

I mean, "relative". Is that more obvious?

Agreed with Ami. I didn't realize that I needed to prepare for ACL like I was going to Burning Man! Is it just me or is this substantially more expensive than Tier 1 tix last year? For some reason I am remembering Tier 1's last year were more like $75...

At least it scales well. I just bought 6 tickets for $627USD instead of 112.50 each. Lesson learned: buy with friends if they are going to charge an outrageous 9.50 in shipping alone. For 9.50 i want a giftwrap and bike messenger to deliver it. Ah, finally a good use for all those track bikes around town.

Total now = $112.50 including all bogus service charges. FYI. I sure hope they do something to control the dust this year. I don't care if they have to astroturf Zilker - a girl's gotta breathe!
