It was muddy for sure and I don't know as many of the bands as I used to, but still a fantastic weekend of friends and music. Thanks to the organizers, employees, and volunteers that made the best of a tough weather weekend.
Weekend One was one for the books 🤘 Thank you to the amazing ACL Fest fans for their dedication and positivity throughout, and to our incredible staff and partners who worked tirelessly around the clock to deliver a safe event under challenging conditions! Beginning tonight, we will bring in extra resources to remove temporary turf and ground protection that was utilized this weekend. We will prioritize rest and recovery of the park this week by strictly limiting activity on the grounds before next weekend. Assessment of the grounds is underway, and we will meet daily with Austin Parks and Recreation to prepare for remediation after the festival. ACL Fest remains committed to leaving the Great Lawn better than we found it and will continue to be proud stewards of Zilker Park. We look forward to another incredible weekend October 9-11!

I suspect we'll hear a few @DollyParton tributes at @aclfestival this year and I'm here for it. RIP to a legend.

40th year of #sxsw means about the 39th year of articles predicting the eminent demise. It may well end some day. I've attended about half of those years and plan on having another great - if exhausting - week. Let's go.

I was reading an article recently talking about rituals versus habits. Not sure which category this fits, but know it's delicious. My preflight routine. @AustinAirport @tacodeli – at Austin, TX

Promising signs from @TexasMBB even if the result wasn't ideal. Honestly I stayed tuned in just to listen to @DickieV call another game. #awesomebaby for sure!
Tune in tonight at 8:45 pm on ESPN for the first ever Dicky V Invitational! Duke vs Texas it’s going to be #awesomebaby !

Being present. Not just a golf lesson.
great big-picture message from Scottie that he learned from Coach Fields 🤘 #TakeDeadAim | @PGATOUR

Good food for thought going into the new work week.
Every athlete warms up. Every writer gets in flow. Why should managers be any different? Take 10 minutes. Plan your day. Stretch. Think. Cause your day, lest you fall into reacting to it.

Listening to @KUTX off and all all weekend while they play wall-to-wall @WillieNelson for his upcoming birthday. Pretty sure I haven't heard the same song twice in two days. #Legend

Was just thinking about how all the @sxsw breaking news used to unfold on this little platform called Twitter. Glad some of that energy still carries on. Took a recovery break today, but ready to jump back in! – at Round Rock, TX

After sitting idle through about 4 rings of hell on I35 at 10PM on a Thursday, I'd like to retract any unkind thing I ever said or thought about @EvilMopacATX

I love live music - but am so tired of all the hidden "convenience" fees from the large ticket sellers. I won't name the company, venue, or the band because they are all horrible. I'm sure none of it goes to the musicians. Guess I should stick with local acts and venues.

Gearing up for SXSW reminds me that I first heard of Twitter at SXSW 2007. Hard to recall the small sense of community compared to what it's become. There is still some good stuff here, but have to say I miss the early days. At least we get @gowalla back (now about Android...)

Not gonna lie - I was nervous almost to the end. Great way to end the regular season with more to come. #HookEm

Ice cream truck rolling down my street. While I resisted the urge, it still has my inner 7 year old peering out the window like one of Pavlov's dogs
