The One About Coachella


this is way belated, but in cleaning out some old e-mails, i'm reminded of how hilarious my Coachella experience was this year. please see following excerpt from an e-mail I wrote to Ish and Ally. says it all:

Coachella
cost of gas to drive to the desert - $20
amount of time driven to said desert on a TRAFFICY Friday afternoon – 5 hours (normally 2 hours)

time it took Ally and I to realize we missed all our bands, it wasn't worth it to keep driving, and we were going to pull over and tell the guys we were turning around - 30 minutes
time it took Ally to be coerced into COMPLETELY changing our plans to turn around – 1 minute (sucker!)
coast of gas station snacks and cracked out energy drinks- $10
amount of time dancing hysterically in car due to caffeine overload – 40 minutes
cost of hotel room - $0
cost of tickets - $0
cost of soju mixed drinks - $12 each
amount of money Ally would pay a sniper to put a hit on Bjork – infinity dollars
cost of drinks at GQ party -$0 and dangerous
drunk comments to Simon Rex on a scale of 1-10? 100!
time spent in Jack in the Box drive thru at 3am – too fucking long
how much I wanted to kill Ally for changing her mind last minute to leave at 6am to drive home, when we went to bed at 4am.....on a scale of 1-10? 3.5 million

the memories, shame, and embarrassing stories from Coachella - priceless

that is all i can say. i cannot divulge more details. other than the fact that Ish was so lovely to give us his tickets for free, and we almost didn't go! so glad we did, because it was the best time ever. Thanks guys!

and p.s. i'm still so upset that i missed Of Montreal, the Rapture and Peter Bjorn and John. when the hell is Of Montreal on tour?! for the love of god!
