coming up for air--COACHELLA 09!!

so this has been quite the month or so of live music... 

when i last wrote we were off to coachella (COACHELLA 09!!!) for 3 days of chill in the desert with our fav la types. was mesmerized by girltalk... it was the best show there in my humble opinion. 

franz ferdinand and the killers were so great. and the yeah yeah yeahs rocked. 

but the the uber experience for me was public enemy (flav did three running stage dives...climbed the side rafters and then brought out his baby girl... he's 50 years old!!) amazing.

and of course sir paul.  let it be made me stop breathing for a bit. long enough to get teary. it was my coachella moment as kandece said. 

everyone should get to have one. i highly recommend it. 

the art installations were fantastic this y

ear again. 

golf carts were clever. 

leonard cohen was good, but i was too antsy by that point. 

what i will say was that mia was incredibly disappointing to me. again. last year i thought it was okay, but her show was less than i hoped for the main stage. other than that i was enchanted by coachella talent. 

met some cool peeps and cannot wait for COACHELLA 2010! 

next up... the rest of april and may and now june. OMG. too much for this post. will write more this weekend hopefully. 

(but i will say that i saw erykah badu last night and she's even better than she's ever been live. new look, same confidence and astounding performance. i'll be at the friday la show too. will report in afterwards...)
