when is this ACL fest that you mention, and how much was the pass? would it help if i said that i might show up just to SUPPORT the ban (well: okay, and for a pork chop at Kreutz's)? are there several stages going on at once, or is it just one? part of the reason i find sxsw so overwhelming and hence not very enjoyable is that you can't see it all... This year's fest takes place from September 19-21 at Zilker Park. Passes are $65 plus fees ($5 service charge, $2 parks preservation fee, and $5 delivery fee, $15 if you're outside th US). There will be more than 1 stage. I know that there were a few stages used last year. That's what I heard. I didn't attend last year's event as I was moving. Tickets have to be ordered online. Go to www.frontgatetickets.com or www.aclfestival.com. The full lineup will be announced on Thursday June 12th. Cheers, Jen who knows ? by the time the festival happens, the smoking ordinance might be overturned... _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
