6:00pm: Waiting for Drake. Drake is really the only person that Gabby wants to see. Gabby LOVES Drake. She is so excited she literally started calling every other performer on the schedule "Drake." So Shakey Graves became Shakey Drake, A$AP Rocky becomes A$AP Drake and so on and so forth. She has a one Drake mind. So we are camping out to have a spot with both visibility and dance ability. Too close you can’t dance. Too far and you can’t see. It’s a fine balance to find your perfect Drake spot. If you’re reading this post it’s too late because ACL is the last stop on Drake’s 2015 tour.

6:05pm: We find a great spot. There are hardly any people in chairs tonight. I guess old people don’t love Drake enough to camp out for him.

6:30pm: A$AP Rocky is supposed to start but he is late. Gabby keeps calling him “A-S-A-P Rocky” and I can’t actually tell if she’s kidding or she doesn’t know how to say his name…

6:50pm: A$AP Rocky starts fashionably late. It is his birthday after all so I can forgive him a little for being late. He doesn’t really impress me. I felt like it was over and done quickly. He didn’t play “Everyday” which is arguably the best song on his new album (or maybe I just love Rod Stewart). He didn’t play “fucking problems” which annoyed me. Like I am sure you are sick of that song dude… but it’s your biggest hit and you’re not enough of a huge superstar to not play it. You’ve only got two albums… so it’s not like you just have so many other hits to play. Also it has DRAKE on it, the man taking the stage right after you. DRAKE.

7:30pm: Waiting for Drake. This is our second time seeing Drake this year… Did I mention Gabby loves Drake? YOLO. We should probably see Drake as many times as possible while it’s possible.

8:00pm: Hear some of Bassnectar from the neighboring stage. Festival favorite. This is the third festival I’ve been to where he has been on the lineup. He’s always a fun dance party. Pretty self-explanatory name – just add that sweet sweet bass to things. Good music for dropping it. Gabby & I dropped it… to the ground to wait for Drake.

8:30pm: Drake starts! October’s Very Own is a great start to October. Omg Drake has gotten so buff. Personal opinion but I think he’s looking a little too swole? Thoughts? Who prefers swole Drake?

Drake called Texas his second home… well I guess all his exes do live there. I think I love Drake because he’s just is so ridiculous. He is a Jewish Canadian ex-child star sensitive man named Aubrey. Such an unlikely man to be a rap star and yet he is a rap star. He just kept hustling and hustling.* He exaggerated things but now he’s got it like that… and I think that’s amazing. Go Drake. You do you.

8:50pm: Drake sings all his older songs. The high school kids surrounding us in the audience don’t know the songs. I sing (yell) along because I know all the words because I basically listened to So Far Gone & Thank Me Later on repeat freshman year of college. At first I listened because I was an old Degrassi fan and I loved Lil Wayne. But then I kept listening because at 19 I could just really relate to Drake because I was fancy, I was doing me, I just wanted to be successful & I was the fucking best.

9:30pm: DRAKE BRINGS OUT FUTURE. ACL doesn’t usually have a ton of guest performances, especially by people who aren’t playing the festival that weekend* So bringing out Future is a pretty big deal. Him & Drake just released a joint album. So they sing some of Future’s song then they do live debuts of “Jumpman” and “Big Rings.”

9:55pm: Chris didn’t realize he knew so many Drake fans. HYFR. DUH CHRIS. Drake is a hit machine. He also has verses on Nicki’s songs, Big Sean’s songs, A$AP’s songs. The man is prolific. He is drinking every night because he drinks to his accomplishments – that’s a lot of accomplishments.

10:00pm: Drake sets off fireworks to end his show because DRAKE literally brings the FIRE. LOVE FIREWORKS. LOVE DRAKE. What a time to be alive!

*Future is on the schedule for ACL weekend 2 but that’s a whole week later though.

*Maybe Drake learned some important life lesson from the Degrassi theme song. #whateverittakes #besthebest
