nothing like waking up to sunshine at 7am. squinty people crawling out of their hot plastic caves. anticipating the gigantic saturday sold-out crowd.

crowd relaxing and waiting for the first act to take the coachella stage [section quartet]. there was a lot of sleeping bodies on the grass over the weekend.

the sahara tent packed to the gills for dj peretz. wait, is that perry farrell? nah ... uh ... yea! last year's TBA guest when it was rumored to be radiohead.

kinky from mexico kicking out rock, funk, hip-hop, jazz, electronica, cumbia, and norteño.

hieroglyphics performing 'clint eastwood' by the gorillaz.

if you strain your eyes, you can spot the fella with a guitar – beck – crooning to a tent that's just packed as fuck. we had to settle for peeping through an entrance.

yep, the outside crowd may have been as huge as inside for beck. i saw at least two pale people being carried out for heat exhaustion.

ben gibbard with deathcab for cutie. it was great to hear that boyish voice of his.

pizza for the people! super nice girl cutting the pie, but damn, i waited over an hour for these hot slices.

shirtless little man watching the pixies with mom and dad. he was bobbing his head harder than anyone else.

stereolab playing the mojave tent.

waiting to meet up with the girls for radiohead. check the spotlights in back – they converged at an apex in the sky. it was very luxor.

the giant glowing man made up of vinyl and plastic. one of the many landmarks for lost people to find their homies.

radiohead! radiohead! radiohead! the crowd was spread for miles, it seemed.

yay, radiohead. [me, helen, hannah]

like dopes, we left radiohead to see the living legends at the outdoor stage. at least i got to see them do 'the clap'.

grouch mixing it up with the audience. note: he's not wearing a trucker cap because he says he hates 'em.

yea, the crowd was hype and gobbling up all the hip hop they could at coachella.

i don't know. just chaos.

believe me, it's kraftwerk. they started off with 'tour de france'. yess. i so wish they did 'the telephone call', but we decided to call it a night and trekked back to camp.
