Kickin’ it in Indio: Coachella 2008

For those of you who didn’t make it out to this year’s Coachella fes­ti­val, in Indio, I’ve brought an all access account for you to enjoy. What a crazy three days it turned out being. It was a week­end filled with lots of water, friends, packed tents, and bike rides. Party!

Any­way, lets start…

When I arrived to Friday’s show, it was already around noon. Lunch time! This is my first meal of the week­end, com­ing straight out of artist cater­ing! And yes, that’s Lentil salad! So good!

After lunch I headed over to the Out­door The­atre to visit my co-worker, Westy. He was rid­ing around on his new bike, that is totally fresh.

Then it was time to watch the first band on my list: Les Savy Fav. They ripped.

Strut­tin’ the fields, check­ing out the art and the people:

Golf carts: the only way to go!

Saw Kraftwerk on Sat­ur­day night. This video shot was dur­ing “Tour de France.”

I also bumped into this guy:

Went to the Sahara tent for M.I.A., which was out of con­trol. The crowd swamped the place and they had to cut off access to the V.I.P. area. I barely made it in.

Sun­day morn­ing, I showed up early so we could shoot pho­tos of out bikes. Glass House represent!

And I even made it in time to catch Love and Rock­ets’ sound check. Cool bob­ble heads!

On my way to break­fast, I came across Roger Water’s pig:

Dani and Jacky came out to the Fields. Good times!

We caught some of Kid Sister’s set in the Gobi, dur­ing sunset:

The crowd was beau­ti­fully lit:

After sun­down I finally saw Mod­e­se­lek­tor (my attempts in Europe failed, so I was pretty stoked to finally see ‘em), but didn’t take any pho­tos because I was busy danc­ing. Hard. I started shoot­ing again later in the night, for Justice’s set in the Sahara tent. Young­sters swarmin’…

D.A.N.C.E.….

And the last shot of the weekend…waddup, Kavinsky?
