Austin City Limits a blast EWS HE IE ARE YOD READY TO PARTY m WELLSI $ l BEERS ALL NIGHT LONG ALL NIGHT LONG EVERY EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT THE LIBRARY LET US THROW YOUR PRIVATE PARTY While the majority of Texas A&M students were yelling in Kyle Field as A&M beat Gem- son University on Saturday, others opted to miss the football game in favor of a weekend of live music. Though some will cringe when they hear people missed a home football game to go up to Austin for a weekend, music fans from Aggieland made the trip to the third annual Austin City Limits Music Festival held at Zilker Park. Forget about how bad a drive to Austin can be on a Friday after noon or how hot it was this week end — nothing could stop some Aggies from attending one of the biggest music festivals in Texas. With eight stages set up for more than 130 performing artists on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the music started at 11 a.m. and didn’t stop until 10 p.m. each day. Sheryl Crow was the headliner, but the number of recognizable bands meant no single performer overshadowed the rest. Among the bands that performed. The Pixies, Jack Johnson, Franz Ferdinand and Ben Harper all gave entertain ing performances. The best part of the music fes tival was the wide selection of music. There was always a band starting that you wanted to hear, sometimes even two. Genres ranged from country, including Pat Green and Bruce Robinson, to alternative rock such as Modest Mouse and Cake. Judging by the intensity of the crowd’s excitement during The Pixies’ Saturday night perfor mance, it may have hardly been imaginable to fans that this band may have been worshipped by many of their own parents.
