ACL fest '06

So I went to ACL yesterday, even though I had told myself I wouldn't go. I bought a two-day ticket for $70 from a scalper, and promptly went to check out the Shins. I'm not a huge fan, but I ended up being thoroughly impressed. Also saw a couple of songs from explosions in the sky and kings of leon, who tend to rock pretty hard. Also checked out the secret machines which were really impressive, and caught some of Calexico's set. Finished up with massive attack, which sounded pretty cool but at that time we were exhausted and decided to hop in barton springs (its free from 9-10pm: Spread the love).
