Coachella and more...

After years of making the trek out from Boulder to attend Coachella, it seems logical that I would certainly be going this year since it's only a car ride away, right? Yeah, not so. It's a bummer as I would have loved nothing more than watching Devotchka's set on Saturday. Portishead, Chromeo, Mum, Black Kids, Cut Copy, Sia, Booka Shade, Spank Rock, Prince, MGMT, Aphex, Cinematic Orchestra, Sharon Jones...this list goes on...would have all been amazing as well, I imagine. Fortunately for me, LA is amazing too...and there is a ton of cool shit going on this week...I'm a little overwhelmed by my options for Thursday...

We have Throw Me the Statue playing at The Silverlake Lounge.
We also have Dress Right (8-11) followed by Dance Right (10-2) with Z-Trip and MSTRKRFT.

I really don't know much about the last two events except that I read free drinks, ice cream and sample sale on the flyer and that was enough to convince me. Um Z-Trip and MSKRTKRFT - not bad either!

Friday, I'd like to check out Yeasayer and No Age at the Ukranian Cultural Center...so we'll see about that. Ideal Emily says this is the time where she will cut herself off from all things fun and put all her efforts and focus into studying. So far that isn't going to well.

I know there is much more happening this weekend, but like I said, I'm trying to focus and as such, avoid my endless blog reading. Coachella will be a blast too, I'm certain.
