ACL 2008: Photos, wrap-up and a goodbye to Mike
2:18 PM Tue, Sep 30, 2008 \| Permalink \| Christy Robinson E-mail \| News tips

All you'll ever need to pretend you went to this year's Austin City Limits music fest yourself:

Slideshow: Some ACL performers doing their thing
• 9/30/08: Austin City Limits bucks traditions, but plays it smooth
• 9/29/08: Austin City Limits performer Nicole Atkins serious about career
• 9/28/08: Funk-rock band Black Joe Lewis gettin' buzz at ACL
• 9/27/08: The menu at Austin City Limits Music Festival is loaded
• 9/26/08: Dallas area acts hitting Austin City Limits Music Festival
• Live blogging: Catch up on ACL here
• AP: Texas charity keeps Austin and its musicians healthy

And now, the sad. Our resident rock guru and all-around cool guy Mike Daniel will be leaving us soon. ACL was his last major gig for The News (well, as a full-time staffer, that is. We'll be pouncing on him for freelance in the future, for sure). He's been a big player in the music section for a long, long time and he'll be missed. Happy adventures, big guy!

Good luck, Mike. Hope to see your reviews in the DMN in the future -- and hope to see your awesome home-run hitting skills on the softball diamond again some day.

Farewell, Mike. The Guide staff will be lacking in testosterone without you.

Nothing to do or say but quote Bon Jovi: " ... I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back; I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back; I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall; I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all ... " Rock on, brother Mike. Rock on!

Mere words wouldn't do you justice. Suffice is to say you rocked harder than most of the metal bands you reviewed. Good luck and take care!

We'll miss reading your insightful, often surprising reviews! And we'll be on the lookout to see where your reviews turn up next. Best of luck to you, Mike.
