This is a good one for me to tackle today because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. After Alie and I decided that we would go to Coachella (a big, three day music festival located in the desert, a couple hours outside of LA) despite the fact that we didn't have tickets, a place to stay, or any plans otherwise, I got the news that I was the lucky recipient of a 3 day pass w/ VIP. This is totally awesome, and I'm insanely excited...but there's so much to do!!!
1. Find a cheap rental car, book it, and figure out the best way to pick it up tomorrow morning and drop it off Sunday night. Try to figure out a reasonable way to fit a pedicure in there somewhere.
2. Upload all the pictures on my camera to make room for all the photos I'm going to take for 1) a "scenes from coachella" post for this blog and, 2) a "what I ate at Coachella" post for losanjealous.com
3. Organize a bunch of crap including, but not limited to:
- what I'm going to wear/pack - The first thing anyone says, when I mention I'm going to Coachella for the very first time, is "It's sooooo fucking hot". Being that it's in the desert, I expect that, and I love the heat, but I'm guessing this won't be the kind of heat I love. I think short-shorts and little dresses are in order.
- what bands I want to see - To be honest, I won't be all that bummed if I miss the majority of the bands, as that's not really what I'm going for. I won't be upset if I miss Prince, but there are a few other bands that I'd like to at least attempt to see; Tegan & Sara, Portishead, Stephen Malkmus, Man Man, The Bird & The Bee, My Morning Jacket...that's about it, although Hot Chip and Raconteurs would probably be fun, too. I'm more than bummed that The Bees cancelled, as that was one of the main reasons I wanted to go in the first place. Oh well.
4. Get to Pho Siam by 5:15 tonight. Take off all my clothes and lay face down under a light sheet. Get brutally massaged for an hour by two tiny Thai woman. Hell. Yes.
5. Practically jump out of my skin with excitement until 10 pm rolls around. Get cozy on the couch with Elvis and Prez. Watch LOST. Have mind blown (hopefully).
