Coachella 2009

So after finally deciding to go to Coachella, it was here!!!

It took us forever to leave on friday, because we had to do a little convincing to get my friend Katrina to come along for the ride. Once we actually got going, it was mid afternoon and rush hour LA traffic was horrible!!! Got there late that night, and ended up not going in the first day! Too much traffic! So we headed to Palm Springs and went to the Riviera for the Music Loves Fashion party! So much fun! And the Belvedere Open Bar was killer! Met so many awesome people!

Passed out around 4am!

Awoke to the beating hot sun of the desert, got ready, had lunch, attempted the Anthem Party for a bit, and then headed to Coachella for day 2, and man was it a TRIPPPPPPPPP. Saw so many amazing acts! I loved Calexico! And MIA was great, even though the crowd wasn't so up to speed. Thievery Corporation did amazing as did the Killers, and Jenny Lewis! Saw alot of new artists I was interested in as well! and MSTRKRFT did an amazing closing to the night! Afterwards we went to the MLF party again and crashed at like 5am. I swear Coachella automatically means sleep deprivation for the average hipster.

Ah! It finally arrives! Day 3!

It was the hottest of all 3 days, and I was wearing cut offs and a sequin beaded blazer! I was dying under it. But you sacrifice for fashion! Saw so many great acts. Lupe was good, as was Lykki Li & Devandra Banhart. I was completely smothered during Yeah Yeah Yeah's because I was right up front against the bar. Karen O looked fabulous! Her Comme de Garcon dress was amazinggggggggggg! And this sad little fucked up girl was getting arrested for drug possession at Coachella and was being layed out by policeman. Kids just never learn. CRACK IS BAD!

Ended the night with Peter Bjorn, and the Cure! So SO GOOD!

And all the art attractions were amazing, especially the do lab! The water experience set up they had this year was off the wall awesome!

I have so many pictures to download, but I lost one of my camera's, so definitely pictures soon!
