The Anvil experience rolled through town this past Monday, complete with a screening of Anvil! The Story Of Anvil.
It was a pretty epic night -- an ample supply of rock ‘n’ roll, plenty
of tales from days gone by, tons of old school metal band shirts and
jacket patches, and of course an unruly fan or seven. Check out my
review via the Standard Time website.

The weather on day one was just perfect but insistent rain and treacherous terrain made for a wet and slippery Sunday at the 2009 Fun Fun Fun Fest. Austinist’s interviews in the media tent kept me busy on day two as well but I was able to witness the legend of Danzig along with a few other acts. Later in the evening, sets by The King Khan & BBQ Show and Forgetters at Red 7ensured my Fun Fest '09 experience ended just right. Again, my personal pictures only reflect the goings-ons in and around the media tent but please scan through the various Flickr sets containing the brilliant work of a handful of gifted Austinist photographers who captured a lot more of the festival action.

Another Fun Fun Fun Fest is over and yet again, it was a truly amazing and enjoyable two days of
music, comedy, food, drink, friends and, yes, endless fun. As always, Austinist conducted a whole slew of interviews in the media tent and I was
committed to those all weekend, but thankfully, I was able to get away
to catch the likes of Foot Patrol, DEATH, and The Jesus Lizard on day one. However, my photographs below can only portray the
happenings in the media tent and surrounding areas of the festival. For
the best performance pictures and more, I have compiled the Flickr sets of some extremely talented Austinist photographers. Enjoy!

Another Austin City Limits Music Festival has come and gone, leaving me, as always, with tired legs, ringing ears and a plethora of memories. And muddy flip-flops that may not be salvaged. The stinky, gruesome terrain could never keep me away though. Enjoy my photographs from the night before it all started plus day one of the fest below:
