Whoops. Forgot to write about my FFFF experience.

I'd never been before, but it really has found a niche being the anti-ACL: that is, not oppressively hot, smaller stages, less people, more varied acts, good weather, the "my-god-it-was-actually-fun" factor. As opposed to ACL, where large crowds dictate your movements, this was much more laid-back.

Another ACL come and gone, my friends. After going the past three years and being a veteran of ACL 2005 (read: The Other American Dust Bowl), I vowed to never go again. Something about the heat (really, can they not push it back a couple of weeks?), dust, large, sweaty crowds, stale beer, etc. kind of turned me off from the whole festival thing. I think having lived in Austin for the past three years has made me greedy musically: if a band doesn't play in a small(ish) club, then I don't want to see them.

So. I'm going to let everyone in on a secret: I've actually never written a blog before. Gasp!! I know, I know, everyone and their mom has a blog these days, but when it comes to technology wizmos and gizmos, I tend to be a Luddite. So, in this first blog, I'll just present some sort of thesis statement for blogs to come.
