Coachella 2008

[Capt Jack]

my first Coachella. I have to admit I had not even the remotest clue what to expect going in. as luck and immense generosity would have it, I had a chance to try something truly different and attend fridays opening day. Id seen the list for who would be playing on friday, the only day I went and I in all honesty, had never heard of 99% of them.

it was the largest, most incredible, most over the top circus of music, visual and auditory experiences that I never could have imagined in my wildest dreams.

between the 3 story works of art, architechture, amazing electronic wizardry, the continual audio onslaught of live performances, crowds cheering, singing and dancing, the amazing positive energy presented there was well beyond anything Ive experienced in my life.

thank you to everyone who made this an experience to remember and then some. more than half the time I had no idea who I was listening to...didnt really seem to matter. as I was advised before arriving, follow my ears and sure enough, they never let me down.

the merciful weather and unbelieveable food were also a huge plus. I was preparing for much much worse

10 on a 10 scale, no doubt
