well… it feels like its been forever since cass & i booked our trip to austin… but finally the countdown is at under 2 months and we’re starting to get VERY excited.
my right hand (wo)man found an amazing blog called Fed Man Walking that we’ve spent a few hours drooling over and dreaming up all the delights that we’re going to try while we’re there…
we’ve mapped out most of the places that we’re planning on visiting and made some guestimates as to what we can walk to and what will be bus or taxi…
and we’ve got a loose itinerary.
we arrive on wednesday and will have had a looooong day of travel with an early morning start, so we’ll probably just check in, chill out, go for a swim and wander the immediate area around the hotel.
thursday we’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed and plan on a morning run/walk and some solid city exploring, some pool swimming, relaxing ect
then we’re very stoked to be seeing The Book of Mormon that night!
friday is when we really get going… we’ll be up early for our pre-ACL food tour with Austin Eats Food Tours.
Get your ACL festival morning started right! Experience Franklin BBQ (no line), Torchy’s breakfast tacos, Blue Ox BBQ, Sugar Circus Bakery and Hops and Grain Brew prior to arriving to the festival!
What’s included: breakfast taco, brisket, sausage, turkey, pork tenderloin, pulled pork, 3 local craft beers, dessert & drop off at the festival!
and then the main event… off to ACL festival! we have poured over the schedule, highlighted our picks and have formulated a plan of attack.
on friday we’ll end the night with depeche mode. after the festival… who know where austin will take us…
saturday will hopefully treat us with a bit of a sleep in… maybe a morning swim… and then off to ACL fest for silversun pickups at 4pm! <3 <3 <3
after the daytime shows are over at ACL fest, we’re heading down to Emo’s to check out the late night show with franz ferdinand and smith westerns which should keep us in just the right amount of trouble all night 
sunday is our gospel brunch date at stubb’s bbq!
then we’re off to the last day of ACL fest with the closing performance from lionel richie. yup. after the festival, who know? we may have to crash from exhaustion or we might have it in us to rock austin for one last night…
monday we head home at 3pm, so we’ll still have the morning to have one last exploration and shopping endevour before we start the journey home.
ya, i’d better book that tuesday off work for sleep and recovery. just typing all that exhausted me, lol.
46 days to go…
