this weekend @ acl fest was truly amazing. i had so many memorable and wonderful experiences...

being in awe of shawn colvin's spunk and wonderful family ties while listening to her melodic voice

rocking out with liz phair but wondering who gave her that outfit to wear and where she was hiding her angst in that mini skirt

swaying to alexi murdoch and wanting to touch his beautiful curly hair

napping in the sun while listening to the friends of johnny cash honor his legacy of amazing tunes

feeling entirely moved by the truth in patty griffin's lyrics to 'let him fly' and wondering how a woman so small could be so strong

letting g.love take me back to sitting in my dorm room freshman year of college listening to his music in a desperate effort to be cool

enjoying how polyphonic spree causes me to spontaneously jump around and smile so big

the beautiful coyness in ben harper's voice only momentarily distracting me from my desire to throw my panties at such a gorgeous man

the classic comfort in r.e.m.'s tunes that seem to tie so many different times in my life together.

the amazing gifts of the weekend weren't all limited to the musical genius that descended upon austin for three days. it was a great weekend because i got to share all of these things with my sister and my wonderful friends.
