COACHELLA.

Imagine a place where grass meadows are covered in campsites as far as the eye can see. The sun is pulsing from dawn 'till dusk. Beads of sweat, non-stop. A giant ferris wheel is visible in the distance. Kids sit on top of vans swinging their beer cans and singing songs. Lovers walk hand in hand, rushing to see the next set. Feathers and fringe decorate hippies. Clothing is minimal and colorful. Water bottles and ice in your cooler, at all times. Molly, cocktails, beers, shots, cigs, bowls, laughs, pool parties, beats. To-Do: Frolick, rage, frolick some more. It was almost too good to be true.

It was 107 degrees, a record-high heat. The only part I could do without.

Our tent was a fruit roll-up, fits one person. Perfect for me and Trev.

Costco trip before-hand was imperative. The list included: crackers, crossaints, protein bars, apples, 2 loaves of bread (stupid), hummus, turkey, more crackers, and alcohol. 90% of this went untouched. Next time, leave the bread products behind.

We get there Friday morning, zero traffic, companion parking, unpacked and ready to party by 12 pm. 20 minutes of chill time, pass the beer. A couple of shots too please!! Time to party :)

By 1 we're walking to the Sahara tent with a group, time to see Beat Bots? Names aren't even important at this point, as long as they're good. This DJ supposedly had a cool, groovy vibe.

Next stop: Gary Clark Jr., Guitar extraordinare.

Camp site break. Meet up, re-group, hang out, take shots, back to the Polo Grounds! Feed Me, M83, Afrojack, and Swedish House Mafia, here we come!!

Sinister

It's October! Fall is here, say hello to cold, brisk air and longer evenings. Blankets, hoodies, and cuddles. Pumpkins, candy, and hot tea. Halloween, costumes, and Hard Rock Hotel. Anddddd... SCARY MOVIES!! Emily, Christina and I just saw what might be the scariest movie I've seen in the past decade. I literally had my eyes closed and my hands to my face the entire time.

The premise is a Ellison (Ethan Hawke) and his family move into a house where the family living in it prior was killed by being hung from a tree. Ellison is a writer so the purpose of his move is to write a crime story about how the family died and why the youngest child was still missing. While looking for evidence to write his book he finds a box of old film reels in the attic. The film shows footage of family murders, to give you an idea of what these were like: the first one involved a family being duct taped in and tied up in the car with chains around it just before the car was set on fire. Nice.

"A true crime novelist discovers a box of mysterious, disturbing home movies that plunge his family into a nightmarish experience of supernatural horror."

Ugh it's freaking me out just writing about it. The scariest part is when the killers face moves in the computer screen. HE BETTER STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM MY DREAMS TONIGHT.
