Tags: “Rain rain go away, come and play another day.” I guess the rain couldn’t hear Krystle singing over the loud bands playing at Austin City Limits music festival today. There was a 100% chance of rain in the forecast today, and rain it did!
The festival grounds were filled with fans wearing ponchos and carrying umbrellas. There were also some brave souls toughing out the downpour wearing only a tank top and shorts. The rain would come down so hard at times that the ponchos and umbrellas lost the battle to keep Matt and Krystle dry. A lot of festival goers remarked that they would rather be in the rain than suffer in the hot Texas heat. Despite being wet and cold, the fans cheered loud, danced enthusiastically, and rocked out to the hits from the bands playing at the festival. Flogging Molly played drunken Irish lullabies and had everyone in the crowd dancing some sort of an Irish jig. It was hard to see the stage, however, because of everyone holding their umbrellas.
The festival grounds were covered with mud. The grass was completely saturated and you made puddles with every step you took. There were some folks sliding down a grassy hill acting as if it was a slip-n-slide and rolling around in the mud. Near the west entrance of the park, there was a huge mud pit. Krystle was surprised to see that there were hardly any fans rolling around in it. Matt said that the mud and rain reminded him of Woodstock.
