Goodnight moon!
​The sun has nearly set over ACL, the fields of Zilker Park filled with the smell of fresh grass (of several kinds...), happy bodies and the oddly soothing sounds of a cacophonous mixture of Andrew Bird, Reckless Kelly and Them Crooked Vultures. (Although from where we sit, Andrew Bird's speakers are winning out.) The first day of ACL may be drawing to a close, but stay tuned to Rocks Off for more coverage tonight and throughout the weekend.
