This Weekend in the A-T-X (Sept. 26-28)

The cloud of dust, pot and patchouli already emanating from the greater Zilker Park area can signify only one thing: Austin City Limits music festival.

Due to Hurricane Ike, this year's festival runs concurrently with a Texas Football weekend. Here at Friends For Hire we love music, but college football ranks as our true passion. So for this weekend only we're running a special for our musically inclined customers.

For only $200 per person, you can enlist a Friend For Hire to attend the festival with you and rock out to your favorite bands (so long as your favorite bands do not include any spare Austin acts that perform weekly at Antone's or one of Austin's other faux-venerable venues). What a great deal!

But wait, there's more...


Your FFH will:
  • Wear a band t-shirt of your choice and use a koozie advertising one of Austin's coolest spots (note: Frieds For Hire proudly supports the Mean Eyed Cat as our preferred trendy bar koozie)
  • Learn (some of) the lyrics to at least one song from each of your three favorite bands.
  • Regale that guy or girl nearby - the one you can't stop ogling, but who you're too timid to approach - with an anecdote about the time (Random Band) pulled you on stage to sing (Random Song) during the encore of their show at (Random Club) two years ago. We'll even photoshop a picture of you with the lead singer for proof!
This is a once-a-year opportunity you cannot let pass!

We have Friends standing by that are going to the festival, but they won't last long. Act now to ensure you won't be the one guy or girl standing alone eating overpriced, soggy nachos, and drowning your friendless sorrows in $5 Lone Stars.
