Since returning from my Saturday stint at Coachella I’ve been working non-stop. Today’s my first day off. I plan to spend it writing. But so this blog doesn’t remain dormant any longer I thought I’d post some pics from the festival.<\/p>\n

The crowd waiting to get in is massive, but in good spirits. The bag checker sees my empty Nalgene bottle and declares that bottles are illegal. I begin to pull it out so he can see it’s empty (still verboten) and he says, “Don’t pull it out. I’ll have to throw it away! Enjoy the show.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Llyr and I plan our itinerary. I never make it to Bauhaus, succumbing to the temptation to see Hernan Cattaneo, an Argentinian DJ I’ve long admired.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dragonfly scuplture. This thing doubled as a mister, and looked especially cool at night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Llyr and I wait for Stereophonics<\/strong> to kick into gear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ghosting revelers:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inside the misting tent. Apparently this place was pretty cool later in the evening.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big baby:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bicycle-powered thrill-ride:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The huge Tesla coil:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inside the Sahara tent. Josh Wink spins in this picture. Once ensnared by the beats, I’m trapped. I don’t leave this place for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hernan Cattaneo spins a deep, dark set:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I actually take a handful of short video clips with my Canon. If you’re curious, I’ve collected them here<\/a>. The files are short on length and long on file size. But they offer a teeny glimpse into…well, mostly the Sahara tent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
