Coachella

I spent the past weekend at Coachella Weekend 1. I don’t think words can describe how sublime the experience was.

As I’ve stated elsewhere, I love music. Despite that I was reluctant to attend Coachella because I was not too happy about camping. I’ll be honest – I love sleeping on a real bed and using a real bathroom and shower.

However, seeing the incredible lineup and hearing nothing but good things from my friends (who went last year) I started leaning more towards going than not. All it took was a little more cajoling from my friends for me to decide to step outside my comfort zone and join them for Coachella 2015 Weekend 1. I’m so happy that I made that decision.

Each performance that I went to was phenomenal. I got to see so many bands that I like, and also discovered some great new music.  The quality of music at Coachella surpassed all my expectations.

The AC/DC performance was by far my favorite one of the entire festival. Watching their performance was almost an emotional experience since I grew up listening to their music. They were also one of the bands that inspired me to learn how to play the guitar.

I even enjoyed camping at Coachella! I’ve been told that this wasn’t “real camping” but it was still quite a lot of fun (though I did appreciate my apartment a lot more once I got back). It did shed some of my initial “fears” of camping which I’m quite happy about.

All in all, Coachella was stellar. I can’t wait to go back next year.
