Coacheesy

So in case you haven't heard. Coachella was definitely an awesome time. Music was great, our group was fun, and the atmosphere was magical. So it is now time to talk about the best and worst things about Coachella.

Best Things

1. Muse- I don't get it. How can someone be so talented? Matt Bellamy must have been playing the guitar and piano while breast feeding as a baby and when he wasn't breast feeding he was practicing his vocals. He's insanely talented and God willing will bless us with more albums. I honestly think he is a musical genius just as Mozart was during his time. Great band, great time.

2. Thom Yorke- It's Thom Yorke. I don't think he needs much of an explanation (In case he does, he's the voice behind Radiohead). I think one cool thing about Coachella is that you get to see so many bands play so when it's time for someone like Thom Yorke to play you can just see how great he truly is. He is on a whole other level. Not to mention Flea Slapping the bass! Slappa da bass Mon! (I Love you, Man. If you haven't seen it, watch it; pretty funny). I didn't realize how good Flea was until he was jamming with Thom Yorke.

3. The house- Michelle (MVP) made a great choice in a house to rent. There was a bbq grill that Holt handled like a true iron chef and a pool & Jacuzzi that came in quite handy in the scorching heat. I got to practice my synchronized swimming with Herrera, Holt, and Karle that was good times. Air conditioning, wireless internet, the game on tv, and an infinite selection of food/snacks. Michelle (Sleecher) truly set this up to perfection.

Worst Things

1. Traffic- Come on now! Coachella has been around for a decade already. Figure out a way to get the traffic right for once. There is no reason that people have to take over 3 hours to travel 5 miles. They need to do something about this, becaues it was insane this year.

2. 15,000 extra people- I think Coachella will think long and hard about doing the whole wristband thing again. They really blew it. That place was Packt like Sardines everywhere you tried to go.

3. The tents- This may be an unfair review of the tents, since I only got to witness 2 performers. The first being that Minny Mouse singing girl. I don't know what her name was, but she had a Vanilla ice wannabe rapping along with her. Pretty terrible, I apologize for not recording here. I don't know what I was thinking. The 2nd performers were Two Many DJs I can see why people can like them, but their visuals were whack (Nicolas Cage and some little kid bobbing their heads to the beat) and I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe if I was on something I could have appreciated it, but at that point in the night I was definitely over it.

4. Stories about being wasted. Nuff Said.

Honorary Mention

Them Crooked Vultures- That was one of the best moments for me. I'm not sure if it was because the band was rocking it or if it was because at this moment our main group came together as a whole for the first time. Michelle finally made it in with Gloria, Steph and I found Jose, Holt, and the rest of them. It was a good moment that the band must have felt too, because they were just on fire at that moment.

LCD Soundsystem- They were just plain fun. We had the best dance session here (sorry Steph for not mentioning the red light being off on the camera). Everyone was going crazy, so maybe it was a good thing the camera didn't record it. We wouldn't experience a dance sesh as good as this one, but it was definitely fun.

Holt's Chicken- bawwwwwwmmm.

I'm sure there are 100s of other things to mention, but I have been writing for a while now and will leave the rest to pics and videos. Thanks for reading.
