No dust, just good vibrations
It was tough to find anyone who wasn’t having a good time Sunday evening. The brief storm in the early afternoon created some mud, but it also eliminated any chance of dust, which was a late-evening annoyance on Saturday but a far cry from last year’s choking dust problems.
This was the first ACL Festival for Todd Kimmel, 29, from San Diego, Calif., but it probably won’t be his last. “Today went really well,” he said while waiting in a beer line. “I heard there was some trouble with buses on Friday, but today was great.”
Austin resident Jason Robbins, 32, is an old hand at ACL Festivals. “I’ve been to every day of every year,” Robbins said, standing in a fast-moving line for food. “The first year was pretty horrible. It was hard to get in and out; getting food took forever. It’s 10 times better now than it was the first year.”
