It is the first day of the first weekend of the ACL Fest, and as usual, the city is FULL O' FREAKS. It all started about two weeks ago, the first little trickle of freaks (and the great unwashed) began to populate the environs near our offices. There were little signs that became more and more apparent as the days passed; people having no clue where they are going, people looking up, pointing and falling down, people (if you want to call them that) standing in line for an hour across the street from our office to get a badly put together taco from the Starbucks of the taco trailer industry. Over the last couple of days, the proliferation of pedi-cabs has come back to life, kind of like the 17 year locusts. These pedi-cabs must hibernate underground somewhere (Interspace Caverns?), and then at the first hint of boozed-up visitors with loose wallets, they (the pride-cabs) awaken from their sleep and swarm the streets and bridges (and paths) of downtown. This should be a pretty good weekend, better (anyway) than next weekend. Dry skies, cooling into the 60s overnight, and low humidity. Next weekend is supposed to be hot and rainy. Mud is a traditional draw over the ACL weekends. I will do my best to avoid the area over the next couple days, and will be back on Monday. In my own little acknowledgement of the occasion, I offer this photo of my try to fit in. I don't think it is working, but really, I don't give a crap!Deeds, Actions, Changes, SHADES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
