After coming home from the Austin City Limits music festival this weekend, I had a lot of people ask me about my experience. Since this was my first year to go, I’m no expert on the matter, but here’s what I learned. Plan to make some sacrifices. You can’t see every performance.

By Sarah Scales, Web and Social Media Editor “Can we please turn off the VMAs and watch something that actually matters?” The MTV VMAs aired Sunday night and, as expected, was filled with many jaw-dropping moments. While scrolling through Twitter, I came across a few complaining about the over-glorification society puts on celebrities these days. But is this really such a recent phenomenon?
