A lot of good shows and events this weekend, but honestly, my head is here.
But I’m also UBER sad that I couldn’t make it to Austin City Limits, where I should be…That’s okay though, we have an awesome photog and writer covering the sold-out festival in Zilker Park! Stay tuned for shots, interviews and a bad-ass ACL review!
