Coachella! ~ Saturday Pix
Follows is an overly long photo essay of my experience, peppered with the occaisional commentary.
1st pic I took: La Familia Divina Shrine, daytime
2nd" the "Do Lab", where there was lots of different performance art throughout the evening, and water floors and misters during the day:
Here it is later @ nite; with the artists 'the Lucent Dossier Experience':
And the REALLY COOL moone-trapeeze chick whose name I don't know!:
The "Sphae", which looked to me like a giant cotton bloom, at day & then night (it rotated colours but the purple was my fave!):
I think this was called the "Flakwall", but can't quite find it on the map. It was made of recycled/ non-potable water tubes, and provided a modicum of shade--at day, and then night:
Now: the best part of the day (except for Chemical Bros, but I was too busy dancing and could not get any pix at that point), 'Amanda Fucking Palmer'!, for her "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" new cd release (In case you don't know, that's a reference to Twin Peaks, btw):
1st, how it looked when she entered stage, from my far place in the back:
She did an AWESOME show, including "Coin Operated Boy", and some tune that was banned from the U.K. because it discussed abortion; then, she did the coolest thing, crowd surfed towards the back, right where we were! Yay! So I got a couple up close shots...
Then she did a version of 'Creep' which had us all singing and ecstatic:
That's the 2nd time I've seen here there, but the 1st was with the full Dresden Dolls entourage.
Oh yeah, this was amusing... several golf carts were decorated in various themese, this was Amy Winehouses; there's a sex doll in her image and the licsence plate says "GOTO R3HAB":
This was called the "Bamboo Starscraper", and was quite impressive @ night, felt like the Disneyland magic castle-- 2 views, from afar and from underneath:
Finally, the "Serpent Mother", at night:
Other interesting anecdotes could follow (including, how I got home!)but this is most likely too long already so I'll let you be!
