I'm not sure why, but this is my favorite picture from Coachella weekend.

it's nice to meet you, ho ho!

My Coachella 2009 sounded like:
The Courteneers, We Are Scientists, The Airborne Toxic Event, M Ward, Franz Ferdinand, Leonard Cohen, Silversun Pickups, Paul McCartney, Cloud Cult, Liars, Joss Stone (but just for a moment), Blitzen Trapper, Amanda Fucking Palmer, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses (but on accident), The Night Marchers, The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Lykke Li, Antony and the Johnsons, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Kills and The Cure.

My Coachella 2009 tasted like:
strawberry lemonades, warm coke, kobe cheeseburgers, fruit punch gatorade, shrimp cucumber dill salad, frozen lemonades and caesar salad.

My Coachella 2009 looked like dust and sunsets and fire and bright lights. I'll have photos soon.

I'm in California. It was a hard winter in Chicago and I missed it here. Today was my first day in LA and I ate sushi and walked in the sunshine and met friends on Larchmont. I feel like I never left and it's weird and confusing and wonderful.

I'm not thinking about what it's going to feel like when I go back.  Who knows.  For once I'm actually living in the moment.
