Another thing that feels good… I organized and posted all photos from concerts and events I went to in 2010. Whew. I’m posting them all on Flickr now after closing my old site down. It’s so much easier! I’m all caught up with this year too.
I even posted all my Coachella photos from this year. I’ve been wanting to do a full write-up on that but how do I best express how amazing those three days were? It was the most well run Coachella in all the years I’ve gone. And FINALLY! I got to see Duran Duran play this festival. It was another dream come true. There I was in the front row: banged up, bruised, sore, hot, squished, tired, and then they played “The Chauffeur”. I sobbed. Not going to lie. My most favorite band in the world, playing my most favorite song of all time, at a music festival I love. It was emotional, powerful, beautiful.
Now just have, oh, 20 years more of photos to catch up on. HA!
Second impression: This needs to go back to a 2 day festival.
Third impression: I hated that I let myself wishfully hope for Blur when I knew it was never going to happen (there was legit talk this would be a warm-up to London but it was a long shot.) And also hoping for James.
I need to sit with this line-up some more. I’m tempted by Friday. And Sunday. And heck, Saturday. Have to see…
Regardless, I’m going to be one of the many who will be trying to get into Amoeba tonight for the Franz Ferdinand performance and signing. Wish me luck! It’s going to be a madhouse!
This was one crazy experience. Getting very little sleep, waking up early, getting a ride to the polo fields, running from the main entrance to where they sectioned off the mojave and dance tent. Hearing Madonna sound check and then bam…
I’ve been trying to put something together so that perhaps years from now, when my memory starts fading, I can look back and recall some of my early adventures. But life has kept me busy and I’ve been lazy. Ahem.
So what better way to do a recap of Coachella then using photos to help tell the story? Part 2 is coming soon.
When I have time I’ll write a more detailed report about my amazing Coachella weekend. I saw a lot of wonderful bands, had a fun time with my friends, took lots of photos…
Details are coming out about Madonna’s summer tour. She’s kicking it off at the Forum again.

I’m probably going to wait… see how Coachella goes. And if I can’t resist, I’ll just get tickets the day of.
I love Susanna Hoffs. I’ve adored and admired her ever since I was a pre-teen obsessed with the Bangles. She’s still gorgeous and her singing voice has only gotten better with age.
She’s got an new album coming out. Under the Covers. A collaboration with Matthew Sweet where they cover their favorite pop songs from the 60′s. They already played Hotel Cafe early this month and I didn’t even know. Argh. That place is TINY. They are now going to play the Roxy on April 22. And I’m super tempted even if I have to go alone.
Freaking out. So excited. Can’t believe it. This is going to be insane and awesome and I’m jumping out of my skin with anticipation.
I wasn’t that excited by the line up but was looking forward to a more relaxed go of things compared to last year and checking out a lot of new bands. Now with this addition… this is going to be crazy.
