Coachella 2014

Now that I have been to Coachella, I can say that I am proud to be an American.

However, nothing was impressive except for the music.
Coachella is blown up to be extravagant and fashionable (thanks to social media- nobody wants to see your stupid #coachella hashtag). The truth is, Coachella isn't extravagant. It's a music festival that reflects America's pop culture. 

I was blown away by every artist. I became indifferent as to what stage we should go to because no matter what, I would be in awe of how good each and every performance would be. 

Favorite moment each day: 

First day: OUTKAST. The moment of sitting in the lawn excluded from the crowd, dark sky, Aquamini playing live (nbd), observing my sister Tashia and her friends dancing above me. It was about 11 PM and it was the last show. 

Second day: MGMT. I saw them perform in Hawaii when I was in 9th grade had have always said, this was the best concert of my life. And I can still say, yes! This band would be me if I were transformed into a band. The psychedelic rock and indie makes my heart melt. Like, omg they understand. Odesza... I felt as if I were enjoying this show alone since nobody was in the mood to dance. But this was probably the reason why I enjoyed it- I was dancing alone and I didn't careeee. My hair was down at this point. 

Third day: LANA DEL REY. I drunk cried I was feelin' it too hard. Also I was extremely happy Tashia and I had made it to the middle of the huge crowd to see her barefoot, smoking a cigarette while she sang sad songs, the ones that I sing everyday. I knew all the lyrics it was embarrassing. ARCADE FIRE played for so long. 

I could hear it everywhere I was walking. And I wanted to pause time and be in the moment forever. 

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE- yes I vaguely remember bowing down to them as we walked past the stage because holy shit- they rocked.
