\nI’ve been wanting to go to Coachella ever since I heard about it my first summer in Los Angeles 9 years ago. The first few years because I am a music freak and I love watching bands and drunk stupid kids and eat festival food. As I grew older I wanted to go mostly because I feel it is something I should have done. This year I finally got a wrist band!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe got up at cracker dawn, stopped by the store to pick up food, drinks and ice and arrived at the festival site at 10am. We were welcomed by a 3h line to get in. The security checked every single bag (almost) in every single car to make sure no glass or sharp objects were brought in – awesome! Good thing to know we are safe at the festival though.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe made it in, pitched our tent, and off we go!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nStarted off mellow with Youth Lagoon – last time I saw him was in a tiny record store in Echo Park.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThe snail liked him!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOnly a few hours into day one and my feet are already super dirty! Doesn’t hurt that I always need 5000 layers of sunblock on my feet that seems to attract dirt.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe saw Johnny Marr which was really good, he played a bunch of old Smiths songs, and that’s always welcome!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nAn Elvis hybrid was there!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThe classic festival ground photo… I probably wanted to take a photo of something else.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nLee Scratch Perry was most likely very high, such a character!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nStone Roses played all their hits, but were still fairly bad. I always think it’s hilarious to watch the sign language person by the side of the stage though, always entertaining!<\/p>\n
