ACL: More scene reports
Good Samaritan or bad businessman? A fella on Barton Springs Road has been satiating ravished fans by selling slices of Papa John’s Pizza for a buck a slice. That’s eight dollars per large pizza; where’s the profit?
Chris Conley of Forth Worth has been to ACL Fest the past four years and says the organization seems to improve every year. “The fire on Friday was a drag, but the response was impressive,” says the military veteran with first response training. “The cooperation by the crowd and the swiftness of the organization prevented a bigger tragedy. Conley liked the widened “no chairs” zone this year. “It just makes for a better overall flow. We could get around from stage to stage a lot easier.”
Barton Springs has kind of turned into a head shop. One person had an interesting way to advertise her wares. Sitting behind a table filled with glass pipes, she said, “Get your ACL commemorative paper weights here.”
