ACL Fest Recap!
This year’s ACL fest experience is dedicated to two people: Kevin, of course, for the hook-ups and Alan for introducing us to both The Killers and Midlake.
Friday night was a blast. The Killers closed with our favorite song of theirs which usually includes a large Gospel choir. They vamped the baseline until the audience sang the choir part. I was glad they did that, because if not, Sarah and I would have been asked to perform the gospel part on stage and I was very tired. The show was extra fantastic because we got to watch the show with Kevin and Sarah’s family in the hospitality tent. Fun stuff.
K-bone got us backstage for Midlake which was unreal. For those of you not familiar, Midlake is the band that Ryan moved our vacation for, so they are obviously a high priority in the Marchbanks household - being backstage meant a lot to us. They closed with “Head Home” and added an extra special jam at the end.
Another highlight was the frito pie that Ranch 616 was making at their booth. They opened a little bag of Fritos corn chips, poured in chili, cheese, pico and ranch dressing and handed you a spoon. Tara coined it, “Heaven in a bag.” It was. Tito’s was back with their Sweet-O – it was delicious. Interesting that my ACL post is just as much about food as it is about music.
Thanks again, Kevin and Alan!
Also this weekend: Ryan’s sister and my sister were both in town and got to meet little Hollis! Morgan and Jon moved into their house and our puppies met, which was high drama. Neither of them behaved themselves!
