I started writing a play-by-play post on my Coachella weekend when I realized it was getting long winded. Looking at it as a reader, it was also very boring. I found myself nitpicking and writing about all the “bad” stuff that happened just to make it more interesting, which probably accounts for about 5% of the entire experience.
So I will leave you with these two moments, which I think sum up my first Coachella. And yes, I will be going back for sure next year.

Dad, Baby, Mom at Coachella. Note to future self: All of this.
Arcade Fire - Wake Up.
Moonlight. 12am. Desert breeze. Girl on her boyfriend’s shoulders. 10k+ people all on the same wavelength. The most amazing experience of my life thus far. And of course the color changing lit up balls.
