contemplating Dallas >> Austin, is that a logical trip?

Austin City Limits has the best festival line-up but....


The best acts play @the same time.  Who wants to choose between The White Stripes and Arcade Fire?  That was going to be last year's dilemma but Meg flaked out.  
I'd wait for Voodoo to be announced.  That's gonna be the place to be!!!

this is a GREAT trip!

you can fly into one city, drive, fly out the other.  YOU CAN DO EET!!

my travel buddy wants to be stationed in Austin, which would leave us like a 3 hrs drive...we're both pretty hardcore but i can see why he wouldn't want to take the long drive if we are already seeing the band at Stubbs

you will NOT regret it!!

i did the houston to austin run (just under 3 hours) TWICE in march for back to back mmj shows.

just pack your road trip pal in the car, offer to let him dj, and do the driving yourself.

just b/c yer seeing them at stubb's doesn't mean you should't see them in dallas.

full disclosure:  i love travelling for shows, with or without other people.  if your pal doesn't want to go, consider going alone and meeting some rad peeps at the next show.   [smiley=beer.gif]

planning on doing a red rocks--->stubbs trip myself.  But two great venues=two great shows.  Will buy you a Shiner Bock at the Stubbs show if you make it.
