water gestapo

The Austin City Limits music festival has gotten cocky in its old age. They let you bring your camelback, but it has to be empty. WTF? No water allowed. Oh, but you can bring “two factory sealed water bottles up to 1 liter each.” I sweat two liters of water in five minutes. Two liters is a joke. Meanwhile, I’m betting a half-liter bottle of water costs $7. Someone out there in ACL-land is making way too much money, or getting a really good laugh out of this. Fuckers.

I just felt like channeling a little bit of the stuff that bugs me vibe.

The fun part is that I’ll be skipping class all of Friday and probably Monday since I won’t have read anything all weekend. Wait – I never read anymore. Looks like I’ll be in class Monday.

its a shame to see the destruction of the once grass-roots music festival. i thought about going to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival up here, and it was crazy how expensive it was! Those hippies must've taken a business class or something because it was going to cost us $150 per person to camp for 3 nights. CAMP! All told we were looking at $500 a person for tickets camping and parking for 2.5 days of music. These people must be stopped. I think you should protest. yup.
