ACL Music Lounge

Offering a goodly (but not unlimited!) group of Thrillist readers a VIP reprieve from Zilker madness, Xbox is taking over the nearby American Legion Hall to showcase Gears of War 3, accompanied by surprise ACL artist DJ sets, gratis pours of Revel Stoke Whisky, ZICO cocktails, and Asahi beer, plus other perks like complimentary massages and haircuts -- because everyone knows gamers get all the trim.
