Since we have been dating, Perry and I have always made a point to head to Austin for ACL Fest each year. We always have a blast and the annual event has turned into a shared tradition that we truly treasure each year. Perry's Uncle Don is always a wonderful host and we just have a blast (not to mention how we greatly expand our musical horizons each and every time!). Our new discovery this year: Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights... we look forward to following this band since they are from Dallas. And our rediscovered loves: Pearl Jam!!!, Dave Mathews Band, Coheed & Cambria, and Ben Harper (always).
At last, we arrive! The last couple of years we have ridden our bikes to the festival ("pedal power" per ACL Fest lingo) and have really loved the convenience and the chance to ride like crazy through Austin!
Perry's in his element!

Zilker Park is just beautiful!
Meet Dixie Bell - our new foster Golden! She is a real sweetie and we are enjoying having her in our home. We are fostering her for a Golden Retriever Rescue in Dallas - she was almost euthanized due to her age (she is 12-14 years old) when she was dropped off at a sheriff's shelter outside Dallas. This is not a great picture of her, so check out http://www.goldenretrievers.org/our_dogs/dogs08_detail/DixieBell-09-181.html for more pictures, more information about her, and information about the Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas.

Perry was impressed by the antique Ken doll. :)
