ACL 2009 is Five Days Away!

ACL 2009 starts this Friday, October 2, 2009 and ends Sunday night, October 4, 2009. This year, visitors to ACL 2009 can also take advantage of First Thursdays on South Congress Ave. First Thursdays are a fun (Austin) way to enjoy all the businesses located on South Congress Ave. If you are coming to Austin for ACL 2009, please be safe and have fun.

On another, but related subject – It has been a while since I last posted to this space, and I don’t think I’ll have time to post anything meaningful before ACL 2009. However, please feel free to search the site for places to eat, drink, and things to do while in Austin. I created many lists in February and March for folks attending SXSW 2009, that might prove helpful to you…

Mighty Fine NOW HAS BEER!

We went to Mighty Fine (burgers, fries, and shakes) today, and to my surprise, they now have beer (iced down bottled beer)…  I believe the Mighty Fine burger is one of the best in town, but there are times when I like to drink a beer or two or three with my burger and fries, so I’ve been known to go other places that serve beer with their burgers.  This wonderful news is a game changer in the Austin, TX burger wars…  Also, Mighty Fine has perfected their Crinkle fries, which early on was their only weak link… Now the best burger has good fries and iced down bottled beer to go with their great Blue Bell Ice Cream shakes… Thank you Mighty Fine… Life is good…
