ACL 2014 Day 2, Broken Bells are better with BIG BALLS

acl day two 2014

we arrived in the afternoon, to avoid the sun and heat. We spent some time in the craft beer tent, I listened to the Avett Brothers from the distance, Scott talked OU football to anybody that would listen/participate, the game was on in there.

people were packed tightly, making everything more complicated than it should be. Food lines were unreasonable, bathroom lines were long, but not impossible.

getting across the park was not easy...

Broken Bells:

The sun went down and the air got cool... Broken Bells came on and they sounded good. Not a high energy show with a lot of spontaneity, but it was nice.

and if your showmanship is a B game level... release the balls!

The crowd reacted positively to giant inflatable, glowing balls of various sizes...  like little kids again, we delighted in whacking the orbs and sending them into flight.

The MDO is not my favorite... but it's held up well. None of it rotted... some of the craft paper looks as though it has separated from the board... but it's all in one piece. There was not a large savings over cement board... we did caulk but later came back and put trim strips over most seams. the sun here is brutal and there is some expansion/contraction.

Hi, I read about your use of MDO panels for your house. Thinking about doing the same. How has it help up? Did you calk the seams? Any tips? Thanks.
