A break from the norm: Austin City Limits Music Festival 2013

All I can say about this past weeked was that it was a BLAST!!! 

There was Depeche Mode, The Cure, Arctic Monkeys, Passion Pit, Kascade, Wilco, Portugal the Man, Joy Formidable, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Kings of Leon...so many groups!!!

After 36 years I have finally seen The Cure in person.  I am a complete person now :)  Robert Smith sang all their best songs and he sounded phenominal.  Dave and Martin from Depeche Mode were awesome and Dave shook his hips for the crowd countless times!  My new fav band Arctic Monkeys rocked it and I'm totally in love with them....literally cannot stop listening to them!  Alex Turner gave Dave a run for his money with all that hip swinging!


The food choices this weekend were great.  All of Austin's best lined up to choose from, and boy did we!  This was a free for all weekend of indulgence and relaxation.  I loved every minute of it!  I was bummed that the third day got cancelled because of the weather, but the first two days were great enough that it took some of the sting out of it.  Here's to next year!


Hanging out with great friends and listening to great music....great times, great times.

But now it's back to training. I've got three big races coming up....these are a different sort of great times. :)
