now is later

ok, it's been a while, dear readers, i know. it's last week was a little crazy - no time to blog! but now i want to tell you how awesome coachella was. as leslie eloquently put it, a weekend of sun music sun music sun music sun music is really hard to beat.

for those that don't know, "coachella" is a 2-day music festival in the coachella valley, about 15 minutes east of palm springs. 5 stages, 94 bands, lots of heat and sunshine!

arrival in palm springs involved lounging by the pool, the hot tub, drinking beer, dinner at the usual "los consuelos", and margaritas!

in no particular order:

best bands - wolfmother, madonna, mates of state, ladytron, paul oakenfold, she wants revenge, franz ferdinand, imogen heap, kristina sky

lukewarm - bloc party, kanye west, the go! team

disappointments - depeche mode, wolf parade

that's the weekend summary. all in all, it was fantastic!
