Not ACL: The first night
Well, this will be interesting. In a little preview of reporting on “Not ACL,” I attended three parties tonight, all with ACL themes, but not at Zilker Park. I tweeted during all three. Only a few of those micro-blogs made it to the austin360.com home page. Yet if you follow Out & About on Twitter, you got them all.

I’ll post images and descriptions before hitting the streets tomorrow. As a foretaste, the Blackbird Bakery Coming Out Party at Lamberts matched hip people with healthy people feasting on non-gluten goodies. Several were in town specifically for ACL.
Brighdie Grounds and Chance Barnett, in from LA for ACL
The Paste Pre-ACL Party at Emo’s mixed music industry types with all stripe of social media. (The austin360.com tweets were a big hit on the big iMac in the upstairs VIP lounge.)
Heather Carroll and boyfriend Jim Trungale
So it was off to the Belmont for the Moximity Party, attached to Austin Ventures’ TechCrush, but also ACL-themed. Loved the hypnotic Irish band Automata. Of course, some partiers were distracted by Oregon State’s amazing defeat of USC. The VIP Lounge here was filled with actual high-tech celebrities. We’ll reveal more later.
