Austin City Limits

Invariably, it would rain ... and rain it did.

The beginning of the second weekend of the 13th annual Austin City Limits Music Festival went off without a hitch.

Sunday (Oct. 5) marked the final stretch for us at the first weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

Last night (Oct. 4), Beck appeared on PBS' 'Austin City Limits' for an hour-long career-spanning set.

A buzz from day one of this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival lingered in the air at the park Saturday morning (Oct. 4).

Arriving at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, it's easy to immediately notice how this year's event will be different than the past.

This year's Austin City Limits Music Festival will take place over two weekends in October, but half the fun will be going on after the sun sets in Texas.

Austin City Limits has aired on public television for quite a long time -- so long, in fact, that it has earned the title of the longest-running music program in the history of television.

Unlike many of the year's big music fests, Austin City Limits doesn't go down until fall. But they're getting a jump on things with their lineup, which they've just announced.

Choosing between two festival weekends with identical lineups is certainly a gamble. Will the weather predictions hold up? Will the bands be up to snuff both times? Will it be weekend one or two when the moment happens? But who ever thought it might be like playing Russian roulette?
