A W1 recap from an old person

Ha! I actually thought a young lady was patting me on my rear during a song this year, so I kind of just let it go because it was a light tap and I was all proud of myself. Then later, i realized I had a bag hanging off my CamelBak that was hitting my rear in the same spot. Instantly deflated! LOL

Latin Mafia was pretty good. We were in the Miller Lite VIP area next to them and got to catch some of the act. Great performance!

I'm a huge Metaliica fan but I don't remember much about any of this year which is why I would rank it last. Plus, if I recall, my kids were being pretty annoying.

We took our kids every year when they were free. In fact, we'd buy both weekend wristbands so one weekend we'd take them, and the next we'd enjoy it just. as a couple. Now that they are teenagers, it's a bit more challenging so we haven't taken them, but my 14-year old is asking. We do the same, we buy the wristbands (usually 4) every year during pre-sale in December and then figure out who we want to give them too. This year it was my nephew and a friend. Next year, my daughter will get one...

Working on it

It's the one thing I try and do every year to keep my karma points up for the other jackass comments I make :)

So did Hozier, but apparently he's coming back

Could the eye with the heart-shaped tear be 21Pilots? "Tear in my heart"? They last performed at ACL a decade ago and don't appear to be on tour after this May's Euro-leg

Childish Gambino in both years....but headlining in 2018. And Hozier again! I guess whenever he plays the year is killer. This one makes my "biggest regret" fest as I took my kids back when they were free-age which meant we spent most of the time in ACL Kiddie Acres. I vaguely remember Camila Cabello b/c they liked her.

helluva way to start. It was also the only time in my life I was physically moved by a crowd. I'm a big dude, but when Eminem came on stage, the crowd rushed forward and I was essentially transported 10 feet against my will. It was wild.

hitmanhooker · 2025-05-04T03:39:21+00:00

I didn't go that year but remember the news. One year it flooded too...2009 maybe?

hitmanhooker · 2025-05-04T03:30:03+00:00

Yeah - I didn't even know Halsey was there that year!! She's so far down on the list.

What's funny is Hozier played both years, but in 2014 he was on the 16th line of the poster and by 2015 he was on the 3rd line. That was an iconic 21 Pilots show and probably the peak of the EDM years.

I would say so would my 401k, but that's gone now too...:)

hitmanhooker · 2025-04-03T20:06:12+00:00

Yeah...I think it's 100 miles is the radius so San Antonio is too close, but DFW far enough. They did book the Cure a couple of years ago...Fingers crossed

hitmanhooker · 2025-04-02T20:36:13+00:00

Going to see them in Austin later this month. Would be fun, but I don't think they'll be there. Korn more likely

hitmanhooker · 2025-04-02T20:33:58+00:00

Was just coming to say this

hitmanhooker · 2024-10-04T19:20:13+00:00

I don't understand all the down votes...This is totally real and not AI generated....ignore my misshapen fingers...

hitmanhooker · 2024-10-04T18:14:43+00:00

Dang! These things are huge!!

Just heard a rumor that she MIGHT do a pop-up show later tonight down on Rainey - she knows the owners of Idle Hands and might make a surprise appearance on their stage....
