As the "Live Music Capital of the World," Austin, Texas, is no stranger to the festivals. Between Austin City Limits and South by Southwest, Austinites are used to good ol' beer-drinkin', rockin' fun times.
But no festival in Austin (or anywhere, really) purports to have as much fun as the annual Fun Fun Fun Fest, which this weekend celebrated its second iteration with Battles, Cat Power, Explosions In The Sky, the New Pornographers, Of Montreal, Okkervil River, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Mates of State, and Final Fantasy, among others. (Meanwhile, Brooklyn's No Fun Fest sat in a corner with its arms crossed.)
