Daddy got some PEARL JAM!!

A few months ago, my best friends' husband sent me a random email letting me know that Pearl Jam was going to be the closing headliner for the Austin City Limits Music Fest...and he wanted to know if Justin would want to go?!?! Crazy question.
Justin and I haven't seen Pearl Jam since August 2000...I think this was the last time PJ was in Texas actually.

We obviously have had quite a few changes since August 2000 (married Dec. 2000, Kate Oct. 2004, Wesley July 2007 just to name a few). Tara and Brian lined up the best babysitters EVER (Denise and Scott). The kids had a BLAST and never even missed us. Thanks Denise and Scott!

The music was phenomenal! PJ rocked. That was the best part of the night. The not so good part was the fact that it was an outdoor show and it rained like cats and dogs for 3 days before the festival. So it was a complete MUD FEST. I have never seen so many dirty filthy people in my life..not even on TV. By the time we got there the mud smelled like a pig sty..oh yeah..it was pure fun!
Got back to Tara and Brian's place around midnight and Kate was still up. But I wasn't surprised b/c I did tell Denise before we left that she didn't' have to try to get Kate asleep by any certain time b/c Kate can party 'like a rock star' and stay up all night- no pun intended! Who knows..maybe one day she'll be in a band headlining the ACL!
