ACL Fest!
Austin City Limits Festival is headed to town. Which means I’m headed anywhere but here. Although it’s a complete replay, the SXSW Guidelines are valid for all the out-of-town visitors. Just change “spring” to “fall,” and you’re good to go.
My source and my facts could be completely skewed, but the only shared-item with the Not For Profit “Austin City Limits” show, on PBS via KLRU? Name. And a donation.
Just goes to show, everyone does have a price.

Ann Richards, former governor, passed away. Been lamented elsewhere. But it brought to mind my precious few stories.
I think I first saw her when she was introducing an Austin movie by little-known film-maker, Robert Rodriguez, the movie was called “Dazed and Confused.” She likened film-making to politics, all about illusion. Queen of the one-liners, for sure.
Saw her again, in Austin, at a Bookstop, when that chain was a discount book seller. I would’ve wandered up to say hello, but she was governor at the time, and there these two guys with telltale wires hanging from earpieces, and I’m sure I looked like a threat.
Saw her again, at the Avenue Cafe, but of course, I was more concerned with breakfast tacos, and she was debating some point with - a guess here - a political person. But always did admire her.
Xena:
Should’ve been a planet.
Laeti edimus qui nos subigant!
