Coachella 2012 was way more mellow than last year. And it rained! The weather was the coolest on record for Coachella. At one point, I was so frozen on Saturday due to the icy wind, I started walking back to the car during Radiohead so I could warm up. While the crowd is turning too college spring break for my taste, the true music fans still turn ( Read more... )

GV finally announced the line-up.

First impression: WAY better than last year.

Second impression: This needs to go back to a 2 day festival.

Third impression: I hated that I let myself wishfully hope for Blur when I knew it was never going to happen (there was legit talk this would be a warm-up to London but it was a long shot.) And also hoping for ( Read more... )

Busy, busy, busy. I should start all my posts the same way.

Going to Vegas on Sunday for a few days… It’s going to be fun since I don’t have any reason for going other than tagging along to attend some nice dinners while my guy works a couple hours each day.

I’m almost walking with no limp. But I still can’t straighten my bum leg completely. Or bend me knee all the way.

Physical therapy is coming along. It’s slow going. And frustrating. I want to be out and about like my old self again. I want to go camping. And hiking. Biking. Kayaking…

For Remi’s birthday I got him kayaking lessons for two. I’ve been ( Read more... )

The Coachella line up is very impressive. Very.

There’s lots of new bands I want to check out but there are plenty of older ones I’d be excited to see.

And the line up includes Damon’s new band! Ack! And Jarvis Cocker! And the Happy Mondays! And the Jesus and Mary Chain! OMG. Totally brings me back to the early 90’s. If only Kula Shaker and the ( Read more... )

Madonna day.

This was one crazy experience. Getting very little sleep, waking up early, getting a ride to the polo fields, running from the main entrance to where they sectioned off the mojave and dance tent. Hearing Madonna sound check and then bam…

The Madge dash.
