So, something about blogging about ACL just makes me want to make funny lists. This will probably piss off all the music purists who desire set list details and various musical ephemera, but, hey, it's bitch-ass hot and so short equals sweet.
Popular Fashion Accessories for ACL 2007 (a.k.a. things we saw a lot of people sporting):
1. Giant leg boot. The kind for when you hurt yourself playing sports or whatever; which, by the way, looks like a complete drag.
2. Orange, phallus-shaped, hand-held fans. People insisted on sticking them right in front of their faces, so it looked like they were giving Popsicle blow jobs.
3. Stamp tramp.
4. Fire extinguisher.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
