It was 2 in the morning, it was almost 3 in the morning, it depends on which way you round it.
Up or down.
I like things that are worn out:
shoes and backpacks.
The soles are getting thinner, the fabric might have holes.
When I buy them secondhand I feel like I'm cheating because the wear is not mine.
I did not contribute.
I did nothing to thin out the rubber on the bottom, the footprints causing this to happen had nothing to do with my feet.
The tiny holes in the fabric of the backpack didn't result from anything I did.
When these characteristics were being added, when this experience was being added to these objects,
I may have been lying in bed.

Back From Coachella!

It's very odd to go back to everyday life after being at Coachella for 3 days. I constantly wonder why no one is dancing at school and work. YOU GUYZ. Have some fun.
Yes, we were followed back to our hotel room at 2:30 in the morning by a carful of boys. Yes, we did sneak onto another hotel's shuttle. Yes, Paris Hilton blocked our view. Yes, we did wake up at 4 in the morning due to an earthquake (Coachella is on major fault lines). Yes, we did get majorly sunburnt. None of this matters in the slightest, though, when you're surrounded by your favorite live music all weekend. Also, Beyonce is our show twin. She either genuinely likes good music or her publicist is like, "Beyonce. You have to look hip. Please make yourself seen at various independent musical shows. Bob your head, preferably."
Some highlights:
Sleigh Bells. (I was in euphoria.)
Girls
Local Natives (every time.)
Jonsi
Edward Sharpe
The XX
and a "Coachella 2010" song written on the spot by our beloved Bradford Cox.
