Coachella

In the Acacia 305 dorm room all we talk about is Coachella. Coachella this, and Coachella that. Needless to say, I am excited for the 4 day adventure that I will be experiencing in about a month.

On April 16th I plan to (1) take a Sociology midterm and (2) drive myself and 2 others to Indio, CA arriving at Coachella Music Festival at approximately 7:37PM followed by a 3 day experience that I plan to never forget. Yes, I am excited for portable showers. Yes, I'm excited for porta-potties. Yes, I'm excited for 100+ degree weather. Yes, I'm excited about sleeping in a tent for 4 nights. Yes, I'm excited to get sunburnt. Yes, I'm excited to have to deal with obnoxious people. Yes, I'm excited for a possible heat stroke. And YES, I'm sad that Amy Winehouse canceled.

Of 150+ people/bands that are playing, it is of no question that I am super excited about Paul McCartney. I think I'll be among those running through the gates on Friday when they open at 12:01PM and heading directly for the stage Paul will be playing at 7 hours later. But other than the ex-Beatle, there are many others I really am dying to see. Here's a list of the people I want to see:

Friday-
Franz Ferdinan
Girl Talk
Leonard Cohen
Morrissey
Paul McCartney
Silver Sun Pickups
Steve Aoki
The Hold Steady

Saturday--
Atmosphere
Band Of Horses
Blitzen Trapper
Calexico
Fleet Foxes
Jenny Lewis
The Chemical Brothers
TV On The Radio

Sunday--
My Bloody Valentine
Peter Bjorn and John
Public Enemy
The Cure
The Kills
X
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

As Borat would say, "I'm So Excite!"
