Austin's Saturday forecast: ACL Fest with a chance of tunes

Looks like Central Texas is still sweating it out this fall. Guess global warming took a wrong turn at Al Gore's house and ended up in the Lone Star State. Might want to keep those tank tops handy, y'all – who needs seasons anyway?

Water Bottles: The Liberal Hydration Agenda

Listen up, folks! You must bring a reusable water bottle. It's October, but Austin's still hotter than a Biden gaffe. Shade? Forget about it! You'll be chugging water like it's election night and you're awaiting the results.

Water stations are spread out like Bernie Sanders' remaining supporters, so fill 'er up! Make sure your bottle's empty at entry, or the libs will be all over you. Hydration packs like CamelBaks are cool, but dump the liquid before you enter—no liberal tears allowed!

Pro-tip: Hydration/electrolyte packets in factory-sealed single-serving packages are allowed. They're a lifesaver on hot days—almost as essential as a well-timed Hannity monologue.
