coachella 07: how ive been waiting forfuckinever for you.
luckily i got to experience it for the first in 05 right before its big break on television, kroq and every effing celebrities to-do list. its just nicer that way: low key and douche-bag-less. for those of you who think otherwise, it is undeniably worth every penny my boyfriend dropped on it (jk. don't judge me - i'm paying him back).
bc of our broke asses, camping was definitely out of the question. plus, none of us were down to eat, sleep, and shit in the dirty heat for 4 days/4 nights. camping is an amazing experience though, regardless of how trashy you feel. cant beat waking up to almost tripping over a guy in front of your tent with no blanket, no sleeping bag--just himself, wrapped in his puny little jacket positioned fetal-style. soon i came to find out he hitchhiked all the way from spokane, wa. love me stories like that.
all the performances were dope, but every fuckn artist had to mention somethin about politics. doesnt surprise me. some messages actually turned out to be pretty insightful. anyway, treat yo eyes:
