Austin City Limits Music Festival

Today marks the official start of the Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival and I'm so excited to be going the first weekend!! (Apparently this is the first year Austin chose to host two weekends of the festival and the same groups will be preforming both weekends!) For those of you unfamiliar with ACL, it's a huge three day music festival where 100+ music groups come to preform. There are eight different stages across Zilker Park, where groups will be playing from noon until ten at night. I've been looking forward to this ever since I knew I'd be moving here. (The live music culture is like no other here in Austin!) I'm also in walking distance to Zilker thank goodness. Parking is going to be a zoo!

And to top it off... 
Numerous authentic Austin food vendors will also be there and I can't wait to try the different food!!

Here are some of the groups I'm excited to see: 

Friday:
2:30-3:30 Jimmy Eat World
4:00-5:00 fun.
6:00-7:00 Vampire Weekend
8:00-9:30 Depeche Mode
8:30-10:00 Muse

Saturday:
3:30-4:00 The Verve Pipe
4:00-5:00 Silversun Pickups
6:00-7:00 Passion Pit
8:00-9:30 Kings of Leon
8:00-10:00 the Cure

Sunday:
3:00-4:00 Grouplove
4:00-5:00 Franz Ferdinand 
6:00-7:00 Eric Church
7:00-8:30 Phoenix
8:30-10:00 Lionel Richie

As you can see it's going to be quite a busy weekend and I don't hate it!

I've been brainstorming outfits all week and I still have no clue! I'm leaning towards my black J.Crew strapless ruffle dress with my grey t-strap sandals and my fun stone flower necklace for tomorrow! (Hair will most definitely be up! Texas afternoon heat + thousands of people = intense frizz. No thank you.)
I'll be thinking about my remaining two outfits tomorrow! Keep a lookout for pictures!!
