Austin City Limits<\/a>!  Deep in the heart of Texas, or at least what I\u2019d imagine is the heart of Texas. I\u2019m not really sure.  In any case, I had a great time!  We arrived arrived at the hotel, and headed off in search of some food.  Judith and I walked around town, spying painted cows everywhere! <\/p>\n

Apparently, they\u2019re painted and auctioned off as fundraisers for children\u2019s hospitals.  So cute!  Walking back to the hotel, I noticed the beautiful sunset and had to take a photo.  No matter where, or how often I have the chance to watch a sunset, it never ceases to amaze me with its beauty.<\/div>\n

Time to go to the headliner shows on Friday night!  Judith, Lanesha and I walked out of the hotel and selected a pedi-cab to give us a ride to the festival.  We chose the best one!  Christopher (of Bike Pimps) not only is a very cool guy, but also had a boom box playing a killer setlist of funk, raggae and soul music.  We were rolling down the street, hair flying in the breeze, not worry or care in mind.  Ah!<\/div>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of Coldplay, but also respect the work of Kanye West, though admittedly, I don\u2019t know his music as well as I know Coldplay\u2019s.  According to the schedule, Coldplay was supposed to go on first, with Kanye starting a while later.  Unfortunately, they both went on at about the same time, leaving me in the dilemma of making a choice!  Since I\u2019d already had the chance to watch Coldplay perform when I was in Stockholm, Sweden, I decided to watch about 15 minutes of Coldplay and then head to Kanye West\u2019s show.  They were both very good, but I wish I could have had a better view.  We were standing down by stage left, and could only see everything from an angle.  But the set, lights and dancers were amazing!<\/div>\n

The next day, right before Stevie\u2019s show, Cee Lo Green performed.  He has an all female band that was rocking hard!  Cee Lo was cool about having Stevie’s band watch from backstage, but since we had to do hair and makeup, Judith and I went to get food first, and then came to Cee Lo’s show about 30 minutes into it.  I did get to hear “Crazy” and “F You”, so it was a fun show!<\/div>\n

As always, Stevie was brilliant, funky, beautiful, inspiring, heartwarming, etc.  I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: I have such a great job!<\/div>\n
