If ACL's in town and you were either too cheap to buy a ticket or there's nothing you dislike more being one with a sweaty mass of people, standing on your tippy toes the whole day to steal a glance of your favorite band then you might fit in with the anti-ACL-ers because let's face it: there's them and then there's us.
And what did we do this weekend?
+Got the hell out of town!
+Slept in, and watched YouTube videos of our favorite acts' live performances in bed.
+Pretended we went, happened to miss all the text messages to meet up, but the Octopus Project put on an awesome show, didn't they?
+In protest, listened to Mozart the whole weekend claiming rather fastidiously that the brilliance and angst-ridden intricacies of Wolfgang's symphonies are unmatchable--period.
Either way, the one belief we anti-ACL'ers operate under is that we didn't miss anything... (though I know some of us secretly have our doubts) and at least we still have those $200 still in our pockets (or elsewhere anyway), and we have standards for our live shows (for whatever good that will do). Personally, I'm holding out for funfunfun fest which hopefully will give us music lovers the a chance to see good bands sans heat stroke and exhaustion.

Ha ha ha! Thank you, Victoria! You are the advocate for those of us who were too cool to go. For the record, I fled to Houston.
