Coachella '05 - the year i went.

so in april? '05 an interesting thing happened. april 30th, may 1st. i took a flight out to california, checked into a hotel @ an indian casino ,and attended the 2005 edition of the coachella music festival. 'course, if i remember right, i just stayed for day 1. it was depressingly boring being there alone so i just kinda hung out on the second day and got outa there. definately a group affair.

but i do have some grainy ass photos lying around someplace of the event. lets see what i can find. alright, so here's what i've got:
















so yeah, getting back to it, april 30 '05 to may 1 '05. well... since i'd've entered college fall '03, that year stretching to summer '04. then fall '04'd be the sophomore year, within the bounds of the months in harrison tower, and that'd stretch until the summer of '05. well... i think i remember skipping a class to attend the show hah. i guess i had to, in order to attend, but then i think the compromise was i got back to classes in order to miss the second day. but anyway yeah, was pretty cool, i saw some big bands, weezer, coldplay, bloc party, all great shows, plus other folks id not heard of before. so it was good times. the amount and type of people out there was also pretty amazing. my dad stayed with me in the casino. but he didnt go out with me to the show. i told him he wouldn't like it anyway. but yeah, it was pretty cool. i kinda wish i'd taken better care and organization with the photos though, as there's alot thats missing that i did get to see. i saw the raveonettes, i remember that, and buck 65. who else... well those big sculptures on display. drums you could play by walking up to them and stuff. pretty cool. of course the merch tents too, that and the water you had to buy but werent allowed to bring. and the swealtering heat of course. plus the cool-factor of sitting on the grass watching coldplay perform in the night main theater. great stuff.
