It’s time for Austin City Limits, and we are too #fest to be #stressed. If there’s one thing that can be expected at every stage, it’s a big crowd. So read up, pack your fanny pack and we’ll see you at the fest.
The city of Austin is filled with many things to do that will deter even the most passionate couch potato from wasting away indoors. There are plenty of spots around town that will satisfy your wanderlust desires like hiking, rock climbing and even just taking in the view of the never-ending hill country. With winter weather quickly approaching, lace up those tennis shoes and spend some time with Mother Nature before it gets too cold outside for Texan blood. Here are a few adventures to make time for.
I was a senior in high school the first time I attended ACL. My wristband was a birthday gift from a boyfriend at the time, and together we strategically planned which artists to go see, what vendors to visit, transportation to and from Round Rock, and how we were going to get out of a mandatory marching band event that Friday night. We ended up using the excuse that we were going out of town to a wedding (which wasn’t technically false — my eyeballs joined Coldplay in holy matrimony that Friday night), but the point is that while hours of planning were invested in this process, my first ACL experience was riddled with mistakes that could have been avoided. Three years later, I’m attending my fourth ACL with an inch or two of wisdom. I present the “ATX Rookie Guide” to ACL.
