Awesome. I'm glad you got to experience that, dearest Pea. It was loud too, I couldn't even hear that Guetta guy playing next door. I believe it was right after my first Godspeed show when I started thinking Explosions in the Sky are boring live. Godspeed is some seriously awesome shit. Awesome, though they have a wide-range of volumes, from blasting loud, to so quiet you can hear a pin drop. That's a lot of their beauty to me (then again I'm only going by the albums and the fact I've played some of their pieces before, never actually seen them live). Hopefully the quieter moments didn't get ruined by Guetta.

I didn't have one bad interaction with another person the entire weekend. The crowd was awesome. Sorry, but all this "California-chella" or "brochella" garbage comes off as really fucking snobby. There are tons of different people there to do different things. Just because someones idea of what makes a festival awesome is different than yours, it doesn't make it wrong. We've probably got the best Brochella: Boarders Edition photo ever! Stamper: Please post. FD: Coachella was just so rejuvenating. It put a lot into perspective - even without high drugs. It was like every day I was surrounded by beauty, positivity, laughter, happiness, just amazeballs shit and it made me realize, "this isn't working", "this is working", "you need to fix this", "you need to let this go", "you need to pursue/give this a chance", etc. etc. etc. The realizations go on. When you are given such an awesome opportunity, out of the melancholy of your life, you see shit so much differently, that is really all. I'm not trying to be vague here or anything it's just so many things I can't describe them individually but everything in my life feels a lot different in the best possible way. It was like catharsis through joy.

concert festivals in general are basically a religious experience to me. Living amongst the crowd with none of the comforts of home, dealing with the immediacy of everything and just generally living in the moment and experiencing something completely different from everything you're used to is a very eye-opening experience. It really makes you put things into perspective.

I figured you had something of the like to say. I wasn't trying to imply that high drugs were a false life changin' experience in anyway, it was just that your copious vague posts about it were making you sound like a 'heatscorer'.

The only mean people I met at Coachella were a couple of Scottish dudes in Kilts. They were fucking with me big time, but I probably deserved it. Pea, are you really sure there were actual Scottish dudes in kilts? Perhaps you had better start from the begining... ;D Haha I'm sure. Fox will back me up on this one. I freaked out when I saw two dudes wearing kilts, so I ran toward them to tell them how awesome they were. I just figured they were a couple of Americans dressed up for fun, but then they started talking with THICK celtic accents, and proceeded to make fun of my Sounders sweatshirt and asked if I was "a fucking kiwi." I pretty much lost it and turned around and ran away.

I know that you had a bad experience there but what you just described sounds almost exactly how my first 'squatch felt.

I feel like this after most vacations. But Sasquatch is in my backyards so anyway I slice it, it just isn't the same.

I'm just stoked to have banished the negativity and move onward with the positivity and independence. That is literally all I care about.

Hey Ro, I fucking get it. I realize I'm the "negativity" you purged, so just shut the fuck up already.

LMAO. Please stop flattering yourself, Peatrick.
If you really have this much anger (no matter how unjustified), please contact me outside the board about it. This is absolutely not the place.

I may have to...if all goes according to plan and I start working two jobs next month, I'll be buying a presale ticket. Moving to Seattle can wait another month if it means going yo Chella to bro out with all you fucks.
