If I were to personally draw up a schedule for this year's Austin City Limits Festival, it would look very similar to the 2008 list. Coincidentally, I took 9 days off of work, which overlaps the days of this extravaganza. David Byrne, Iron and Wine, Vampire Weekend, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Jenny Lewis, M. Ward, Beck, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, and Delta Spirit all have scheduled sets, all of whom I listen to on a semi-regular basis.
Aside from the fact that it's a 39 hour drive to Austin, I see no reason for me to let this opportunity pass me by. Because of such short notice, I don't really know of anyone willing to go.
Overall chances of me being in Austin by September 26th: 65%
