Austin City Limits

So, today has really just been taunting me since I got out of bed.

I woke up thinking it was Saturday and that I got to sleep in this morning.

Not so much.

There were no construction vehicles around when I got to work this morning.

I was all excited, thinking they might finally be done.

Until an hour later when they started sandblasting the street.

It got all dark & rumbly outside.

But no rain.

I think The Universe is laughing at me today.

So, to take my mind off of all that, I decided to post fun pages from Austin City Limits 2009.

I've had THREE of these Rock Star stacks for a really long time but because of the large prints, I've had a hard time using them.

I decided that I was just going to power-through and find a way to make them work!

All in all, I'm really happy with the way they came out!

We spent the night before the concert at my cousin's home, since Austin is about 4 hours from where we live, but only a couple of miles from where they live.

I am very close with my cousin & his family, so it was a great opportunity for Steve to meet them & get to know them a little.

I'm happy to report that they got along wonderfully.

The fact that we had bacon & beer for breakfast probably helped things along...

I literally have HUNDREDS of photos from this 1 1/2 day trip.

Way too many to scrap, but I wanted to include a bunch into the album, so I pulled out my old trick of adding divided page protectors.

Ok, so I'm not sure why there is an empty spot up there on the left.

There is a journaling card that goes in there.

Why it's not in the photo is anyone's guess....

Group photo!

For those who have never been, ACL is an entirely outdoor, weekend-long concert venue.

Several different bands are typically onstage at any given time & you can wander from stage to stage & take them all in.

Needless to say, wandering from stage to stage takes on a whole new meaning when you get there on Sunday & it's been raining for the past two days....
