One of my good friends and his crew made a pit stop in Vegas last night on their way down for weekend two...he decided to try and slip the front desk guy an $80 tip in exchange for an upgrade from their $200 room and they ended up with one of the biggest suites they had!

Yeah, it's a total bummer your neighbors sucked. I feel for ya. But that can happen anywhere. I've had bad camp neighbors at Bonnaroo and Sasquatch. It's not a product of which festival you're at, but the bad luck of who you get placed next to just because you arrived around the same time as them.
As for our Coachella neighbors... All of them were fucking amazin'. I was given oodles of beer, water, a place to stay if I ever visit Palmdale AND a badass tent!

My body is very confused with me right now. I drove for 3 days, then walked and danced for 4 days and then drove for 3 more days. Both sitting and standing feel weird.

Hey, I was exaggerating to make you seem cooler, and you wrecked it. I also don't think my body is full recovered and ready for weekend 2 (I have no idea how I'm gonna last another 4 nights of camping), but for better or worst, it's close to show time again. You know I never thought about that...it always seemed so cool to go both weekends but recovery time or lack there of...I would die by the 23rd.

Hey menikmati...sorry to get off-topic here, but do you have the capability of changing a username on the Coachella board? I went with a weird variation of mine last year, and was hoping to have it changed to match this one . If not, no biggie, but if so I'll be happy to send you a PM or something over there. Thanks man!

I made a ton of new friends as well and we lucked out with some pretty solid neighbours. They were a blast to party with.
Although I think we might have been the assholes...we got asked to be quiet a couple times. Ah well, it happens.

I finally unpacked some shit so I can tell you all about who I saw.
Breakbot- I'm not sure who said to go here but it was the best start to my weekend ever. Friday was one of the best nights of my life. This was funky as hell. James- This was such an awesome dance party. He has the best pants. I had a cool picture for Pea but it was on my phone. Neon Indian- Not as good as the first time I saw them but I got to hear some new songs so that was cool. Grouplove- I almost didn't go to this, but it was a fun sing-a-long Death Grips- what.the.fuck Madeon- I missed most of this set but I got to hear Pop Culture so that was cool. That kid is YOUNG Pulp- I met this weird Australian dude who said he was going to stay with me all night (I think because I had drugs and glowsticks), but he kissed me and then took off. It was weird. M83- So awesome, they sounded perfect. I had the hugest grin ever. Amon Tobin- Probably my favourite show of the weekend. It was a life changer for sure. I met the Coachella version of HG and Stormy (they even had the same names).
Azealia Banks- What a fucking awesome way to start Saturday. Holy shit. She was so adorable and blown away by the crowd. She started crying after the first song and didn't really stop util 212. fIREHOSE- Holy shit. These guys can rock. The bassist especially, he looked a lot like my dad, which was weird, but this show was awesome. Andrew Bird- I was expecting to be bored at this show because I had been dancing all weekend, but it was actually really fun. He can really whistle. Jeff Mangum- I loved this a lot. I haven't listened to NMH before, so the show didn't really mean anything to me, but it was really good and I love horns. David Guetta- Fuck you. SBTRKT- I feel like these guys deserve a better review but I was a little bummed out about not having my phone. They were really LOUD though. I danced.
Metronomy- It was good, but if you're at Coachella, please bring live horns. Santigold- Holy shit this was amazing. I was not expecting that at all. That girl can SING Beats Antique- I didn't know you could play instruments like that. Or do those things with your body. The Weeknd- I started watching this but I had to leave because he looked exactly like my ex. I listened to it from a distance and it was cool. Justice- Either they only played for 10 minutes or I fell asleep. Since I haven't heard anything about Justice's really short set, I assume I fell asleep. Modeselektor- I can't stop listening to these guys. This show was my second favourite I think. This is exactly the kind of music I love to dance to. It would have been number one if they had played 'Pretentious Friend'.

Hahaha I for one, love your Guetta hate. I'm excited to read all of your reviews!

Hey Pea did you ever stop and talk to the guy at the info booth between 7 and 8? I hung out with him for like 3 hours after I walked through most of 7 looking for you guys. He was really cool.

Nope. I don't think I talked to a single employee all weekend. Sans the security, food vendors, and the nice men on horses, of course!

He was really nice and let me use his phone to try to call mine. I actually did get in touch with the people who had my phone, but they were giant douchebags. The girl working in the day at the info booth in 5 let me use her phone too.

Nope. I was texting them from other people's phones and they said they turned it in but it wasn't there. Every phone they had was on and none of them rang when we called it. They said they turned it in and then stole it.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Being so far from home and in a different country without your phone must be scary as hell.
