Yeah, well just because it says on their website doesn't necessarily mean that it's illegal to carry. I was just taking into consideration at that point that I was going to be consuming alcohol and I took the free bus to get me there, so i wasn't going to drive at all. They had plenty of cops there, and I felt that was safe enough. Plus there was TOO many people like right next to me (literally rubbing next to me) because it was so packed that I would really feel uncomfortable to keep putting my hand on my weapon so that it wont get touched or worse someone hits me the right way to where it goes flying out (Trust me, hands were flying everywhere, and it just wasn't safe, nor comfortable). So regardless if I could pocket carry, or even have a super comfortable setup, I just felt like I didn't need it. I would have felt COMPLETELY different if there was no cops present though.
Either way, I survived and Austin was a blast. Beer was TOO expensive. My GF and I spent almost 300 dollars in those 3 days. Not including afterward meals on our cards + gas + hotel. Either way, it was a my birthday present.
Cheers.

Re: Austin City Limits Festival
SPeaking of the subject, I had three day passes to go with my GF. I didn't take my pistol there, and there were no metal detectors there either. On the ACL website it said that they didn't allow any type of weapons of any kind. I didn't chance it, and I found the cops' presence decent.
Either way, ACL was fun! Hope you had a blast, too!
