Not sure who Jesse is, but I truly appreciate the invite, and I?m all down for being respectful, staying positive and thinking healthy.
But how is this even a party?
No booze?
No cops?
No meat?
One of the headlines is BRING VEGAN FOOD!!??
AND it?s in Palm Dale?
Jesus.
This kind of healthy living can be taken care of at home, on your own time.
Yes, some more ?progressive? people (in Venice, San Fran, Portland, Seattle and Palmdale apparently) might go to parties to have genuine interactions with others of their own species, drink Mona Vie, un-crimp their auras and gather their chi for their next lifetime, but most people go to parties to get drunk, get high, dance, maybe eat, get laid and lose their minds for a night.
Call it a ?gathering,? ?a variation on a party-like theme? or a ?protest against fun,? but please don?t call it a party.
At least it doesn?t say ?No Drugs.?
Who wants to save these people from a lifetime of boredom and roll out to Palmdale with me with a side of beef and a keg?
The voices in my head nearly convinced me to take Coachella off so I could enjoy actually enjoy the music, buy then I ended up busting out the camera to discuss sex, drugs, Dwight Yoakam, Sean Penn and all things Coachella with some of the peeps, including the lovely Dita Von Teese, on the magic bus and out on the field:
NOTE: I ‘borrowed’ this ‘High Definition’ camera from Best Buy just in time for Coachella, only to find out after shooting in HD, that converting it for web viewing blows. Hence the crappy lo-res carnival mirror shiz below. So AV Team Members, if you got ‘em, please hit me up with some solid HD export settings so I can pretty these suckers up.
