Down in Coachella for the weekend. Stuck with seven dollar Heinekens. Bleh.
Well, I came for the music, not the beer. Thank god for a cooler full of Tecate. Getting pumped for some great bands today; Kings of Leon, New Pornographers, Ozomatli, !!!, The Good the Bad & the Queen, Chili Peppers. We’ll see what else catches my fancy.
Last night we got there just in time to miss Amy Winehouse, but caught the tail end of the Arctic Monkeys and Stephen & Damien Marley. Then we checked out the Italian DJ Benny Benassi and the Brazilian Girls before laying out on the grass and taking in some Bjork. So many bands, you really have to pace yourself.
I do have to say, I’m a little sad to miss this years Hollywood Beer Pong Tournament at El Guapo.
Who am I kidding? I don’t miss it at all. El Guap is a terrible place to play Beirut. Who wants to pay 12 bucks for a pitcher of Miller Lite? Keep Beirut where it belongs: in the backyard.

Hey man, sorry we didn’t get more time to hang out. We were pretty much all over the place the entire time. I think Sunday was our favorite day. The best band we saw in my opinion was the Avett Brothers, which was totally unexpected. They just totally rocked harder and better than pretty much anyone else, though I must say that we left early and missed Rage. How did it end?
