ACL Fest (Austin Kiddie Limits) 2008: The View from Miss Mary Mack
So I've been writing a lot about the 2008 edition of the Austin City Limits Festival and about the Austin Kiddie Limits stage in particular, but I thought I'd let Miss Mary Mack have a few words about her experience...
Zooglobble: So who was your favorite musician or band?
Miss Mary Mack: Uncle Rock. [That's her rendition of Uncle Rock there on the left -- that's Robert's 9-year-old son Jack, who accompanied him on stage, wearing his big hat on the right.]
Who else did you like?
The Lannaya Dance Ensemble, mr. RAY, the Jimmies, and Buck Howdy. [Oddly enough, she didn't mention Jambo, even though she drew them as well. Then again, she didn't quite see an entire set of theirs.]
What was your favorite thing to do?
Listen to the music.
[Small sigh.] OK, but, besides listening to music at the festival...
Watching the Lannaya dancers and the breakdancers. [They performed during the musical breaks.]
What was the worst thing about the festival?
I do not know.
What was the best thing to eat and drink?
Lemonade and kettle corn.
And there you have it, the view of ACL/AKL from the 2nd-grade-set.
Comments
It was fun to read (and see) her impressions!
It's good to know that no matter what, you can always rely on lemonade and kettle corn. I think I could take my kids to a watching-the-paint-dry convention and it would be ok as long as there was lemonade and kettle corn.

Truly, one of your finest interviews. Ever.
