Today I decided I HAD to go to Coachella. No matter the obstacles that may stand in my way, I was going this year. Coachella is an outdoor festival and honestly I’ve never had that experience and I’d like to. Three days of music, camping or a hotel.. whatever, bad food and wild and crazy people. Who doesn’t want to go!
But when I realized that Muse AND White Rabbits were playing on Saturday, I just knew I wanted to go this year. White Rabbits is an absolutely wonderful band and I want to hear them before they get REALLY big. I want to hear Percussion Gun live and sing and dance to it with a whole crowd of people who love it as much as I do.
Because THAT’s why we go to concerts. Not just to hear our favorite music played live, because honestly sometimes its not as good (the Killers) but to BE with people who feel the same way about that song as you do. To enjoy it together and revel in just how much we ALL love this or that song.
Its the same with sports but you have to wait until your team does something wonderful to cheer and bond. With music.. as soon as a song begins you get to scream and dance and high five, whistle, clap and flip on your lighter. (Ooo that reminds me, I gotta find a lighter.. wouldn’t do to bring the fireplace one!)
Coachella is happening 5 days after my birthday which just gives me more of a excuse reason to go. But the topping on the justification is that this year I have someone to go with. Yup, got a FWB who loves White Rabbits and music as much as I.
Now if only we could fit everything we’d need in a backpack we could ride his sports bike all the way there!
