One day into Coachella and I was ready for another week of it - way too much fun. Two days into Coachella and I wondered how much more of it I could take - the desert sun was beating this pasty faced fat man like an early-90s Drederick Tatum in ‘The Bout To Knock The Other Guy Out’. With Sunday being the most loaded day of the Coachella Festival, I figured that all the negatives had passed and I was in for an incredible day of music.
It makes it so hard to think that everything that follows is the 100% truth.
So, for those who you who didn’t read or don’t want to read my last super-long entry, here is a summary without spoilers..
Mike got up and struggled to make himself breakfast, despite the fact that everything was already prepared. He got a crappy cell phone and headed out to the festival, where he had a great time seeing so many artists. Coming back from the festival, he got into a very bad spot that he feared he would struggle to get out of.
So with that out of the way, on with Saturday at Coachella.
Just before I start - I wasn’t intending for this to come out so late. Real life gets in the way of blogging sometimes, and I hate that it does. I also warn that this is badly put together over several days, so it’s probably not the easiest read. Regardless, let’s get on with the show.
Friday April 27 - today was the day. Sure the trip to America was a big deal for me, given all the extra stuff I was getting up to but really Coachella was the reason I went. Just about everyone that I talked to thought I was crazy for making this trip, hell I still thought I was crazy. The time was finally here - Coachella 2007. But I decided that it was too hot for music, and when I saw someone asking to buy tickets I got rid of them cheaply and decided to head back to my air conditioned room. I was able to watch the festival on the net and all was well.
Oh come on, you and me both know that this did not happen.
The desert isn’t that hot..

It’s been way too long since I’ve sat down and written something, but in all honesty the jetlag is kicking my ass. Going to bed at 9:30 and getting up at 6 isn’t something I do because I want to. Fortunally I’ve recovered enough to sit down and write this. So, time to get on with it.
