ACL 2009 – Year of the mud
Posted by Michelle on 09 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Mike and Michelle
Hey there! Wow – this week has flow by as always. We are LOVING this cooler weather and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s UT/Colorado game in cool weather – woohoo!
John and I chillin with our Kings of Leon neighboor - local news anchor Olga Campos! (She was hilarious!)
ACL was a blast last weekend (minus the rain and mud.) Friday was gorgeous! Saturday had great shows, but the rain was pretty frustating. By the end of the Dave Matthew’s Band on Saturday night, we were knee deep in mud. After that, John and I decided that if it rained that night, we were not going to go to mud pit awaiting us on Sunday. And of course…it rained three inches that night. I was sad to miss some good shows on Sunday, but Saturday had most of what I was looking for. Flogging Molly, Zach Brown Band, and the Decemberists were especially good. DMB was good, but I was hoping to hear more of their “classics” (they didn’t even play Crash.) All in all, it was a great time.
Here are a few pics from the weekend.

The muddy aftermath...and this was a good area on Saturday night!

Mom also sent me some pics from last Friday’s St. John’s tailgate before the big La Porte vs Deer Park game (LP won 7-3!).

This weekend we are going to try and take it easy a little, with fun, work, and school mixed in between. Tonight we are just hanging out. Tomorrow I have some things for school and if the weather holds out, Mike will work on his car. Then Sunday I’ll catch up on school stuff while Mike works. But, we are getting excited for next week’s trip to the big D for TX/OU weekend. I’m not sure yet if we are going to try and get tickets at the game or just watch it at a friend’s house, or just go to the fair. Any which way – it will be fun to spend Friday and Saturday night with some long distance friends! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this GORGEOUS Fall weather!
Hook em!
Jamie and Jay.
