January 30 see I told you!
May 10 CoachellaCoachella (weekend of April 29 and 30, 2006, in Indio CA) was pretty phenomenal I must say and next year I am going to invite everyone I know because there truly is something for everyone and Southern Californians who love music have got to be the best people in the world. I thought that it was a totally unique blend of American and Southern Californian subculture, counterculture, lifestyle, fashion and music. It was very refreshing. Our condo along the PGA golf course was really nice and the folks who arranged for everyone to stay there cooked for us the entire weekend just because they love to cook. I had a great time getting to know them and I really hope that they’ll invite us back next year. Ben, Marcy, Sarah and Mike were especially helpful, and it appears they’re true professionals at this Coachella stuff! They also delightfully replaced our coffee and orange juice with margheritas for breakfast.
The suspects for Coachella this year were John, Michelle, Dena, Jeff, Michael and a new friend from Dallas named Steve. Also, John’s friend Alex from Denver flew in just for this! We partied together pretty hard and I would put this crew together again. The show is a bit expensive, but this experience has taught me that with the right people and the right place to stay, this is a worthwhile experience and it is certainly on my calendar for next year. Just getting to know the event and people watching were some of the highlights for me, let alone the great performance. While I was there I got the feeling of peace and calm and togetherness, something you might have missed from rock festivals of the late 90’s.
I was so satisfied and wiped out from Saturday’s show that Jeff and I sold our tickets to one of the many deserving attendees (Sunday’s show was sold out) and headed home early. I did not get sun burned and I did not see Madonna (she performed on the second day.) My friends who did see her said that her show was a huge let down and that she came out on stage late. The consensus so far that the best performance in the rock category was Depeche Mode and in the electronica category was Daft Punk (who wore robot costumes.) LA Times reported that the Orthodox Jew turned rap/reggae star Matisyahu captured the most spectators at the main stage. I also enjoyed Carl Cox, Imogen Heap, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. There are pictures from the show here: http://www.calendarlive.com/events/ and click on Madonna’s face.
