Out of Town Sorry, Austin Travelers

I already had enough problems with the Austin City Limits Music Festival schedule this year to forgo attending it this coming weekend—seriously, Wilco and My Morning Jacket are playing at the same time? What kind of neo-country riot are you trying to spark?
Anyway, today’s news only affirms my previous apprehension. The Austin American-Statesman has confirmed that The White Stripes are skipping the fest altogether, bailing on their second concert appearance at nearby mega-venue Stubb’s as well. Not sure how that will affect the band’s two-night stand at Seattle’s Paramount later in September (or my second cousin’s Bat Mitzvah), but let’s hope the trouble isn’t particularly acute.
I'm still excited for my first trip to ACL. But seriously, there are some huge scheduling conflicts, along with big cancellations (WS, Amy Winehouse). It's gonna be hot (literally), and am excited to see how ACL stacks up against Bumbershoot (especially since IMHO B-shoot07 was one of the best ever).
