Work was long on Thursday in anticipation for the weekend at Coachella. After filling our coolers with ice and our stomachs with one last burrito (and ice cream), we hit the road for Indio. We took the 79, which was a little too windy for our liking but probably steered us away from some heavy traffic. However, it wouldn't be long before we finally caught up to it:
After we set up our own camp that night, we got a shot of the vast space littered with tents:
We spent most of the days getting free shit, checking out new music and trying to stay cool and hydrated. First big act on Friday was Them Crooked Vultures, followed by Jay Z. Both really good:
The Legend:
Jay Z:
Saturday, RX Bandits:
I had to suffer through Faith No More and the beginning of Muse's act as the crowd got more and more tight. Too bad my shitty G1 camera doesn't do the spot justice:
Sunday, Yo Gabba Gabba!
Wet T-Shirt Dance Stage:
Julian Casablancas:
Thom Yorke:
Gorillaz:
Overall, a pretty good weekend. The crowds were enormous and there were too many druggies, but we survived and saw some pretty good stuff.
