In a few short hours, I will get on a plane to sweat it out at Coachella! As excited as I am for this, I think I’m also already exhausted just thinking about the hassle of flying into and living in the desert for three days, drinking overpriced campground water and eating expensive junk food. And don’t even mention the toilets! Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss.
I’m going to bring along some homework to put me to sleep when drunken revelers are going to keep me awake, so let’s see how well organizational theory, Emperor Hirohito, and Portishead mix together. Hah! Check out this week’s Muxtape for a selection of artists whose music I will be enjoying the hot southern Californian desert sun to. I would put in some Goldfrapp, but Muxtape won’t let us upload .m4a files yet.
Tent, check. Cameras, check. Composure—uh, rain check on that. I am so nervous! If internet cafe prices are decent, I’ll work on letting you all know I am alive and having a good time, maybe put up a couple of pictures on my Flickr stream. Or maybe I won’t, because who has time for the internets when you are stuck in the desert with a boatload of wonderful musicians and interesting characters?
On that note, I bid you adieu, and let’s put in another exclamation point to stress just how jacked up my nerves are!
P.S. Dear SP crew: I really meant it when I said bring on the welcome wagon on my arrival; nothing like rambunctious fanfare to welcome a girl back home and wish her a happy birthday with! Have I mentioned how much I love you all?
Not Walk, Just Rock Hey!
