An Austinist reader sent us pictures of what appears to be a "small" fire in the food area at the ACL Fest. More news to come...
Update: KXAN reports that the fire was the result of a propane tank explosion behind the AT&T stage. Three people were injured, two seriously so.

Dangerously close to a beer tent! that could spell disaster!
Fortunately, beer is not made of gunpowder
I was watching the ACL action online and noticed the plume of smoke in the distance. Then after a couple songs security interrupted Pete Yorn to ask the crowd to "Move away from the fire." After a few minutes the fire was put out and things resumed.
"Move away from the towers! Oh, and the brown acid that's circulating over here is not too good. Of course, it's your trip, so be my guest, but do be advised that there is a warning on that one."
I asked a friend who is there about it was texted "food truck". Mysterious!
I wonder what else will go wrong this year...
No White Stripes...fires...
Is ACL cursed.
Probably b/c I can't go this year.
...unless someone wants to hook me up with 2 passes...
that might solve all of this.
