HEAT RAVE=Coachella 2007

So, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2007 was basically the best weekend of our lives. It was so amazing and writing everything that happened in this blog will barely do it justice.
friday:

on friday morn me mia cassidy got massages and then got dressed for the amazing day ahead of us. zoe went swimming with m h e and a bunch of other coachella regulars. so we get to coachella and are forced to walk for about 91302483 hours and then we enter heaven.

I went with mia and cassidy to see OF MONTREAL and we ran into paloma there and also ben hailey shadeh natasha joey thomas henry jacob and others and watched of montreal which were amazing. after that we went to watch the end of SILVERSUN PICKUPS (my fav song) and just layed on the grass and closed our eyes and like absorbed the music. then i met up with the crew (zo han m_)

We went and saw CIRCA SURVIVE which was really intresting, you know all the metals packed into a tent, ARCITIC MONKIES which were okay kind of the smae thing. then went to the vip area and chilled out a bit. we went to STEPHEN MARLEY which was awesome. and then the god, PEACHES. olivia: me and hannah were in the third row of people and dancing, and she came into the audience which was thrilling. seriously she was incredible. and when she entered the stage none other then the final countdown (arrested development) came on me and hannah died. jessica alba was dancing on stage so marty introduced us.
then we went on an excursion to the rave tents PEEPING TOM, and apparently jesse nolan saw us dancing.

after this we went to watch INTERPOL from the vip section and has saw paris hilton, said hi to amber tamblyn and just danced around. went to meet sam and crew at SONIC YOUTH and virgil was there too. sonic youth was kind of boring so we met up with thomas henry joey jacob at BJORK. sitting with us was paloma ella shadeh kelan and i think i saw olivia olivia claire out of the corner of my eye. mackenzie goldberg was there too! havent seen her in a while.

after bjork i left the backstage way with brian mia cassidy and my mom and went back to the hotel. and SLEPT

after coach me hannah mel em hung in the room and hannah teased her hair in the mountains.

SATURDAY:
i woke up and met the crew for breakfast, saw alex wilhelm at la quinta which was surprising, then hannah went to the spa.

me olivia mel em went swimming for like 6 hours, we went to a thousand pools and had pina coladas, we met some sexy boys and chilled with them for a while, coachella had taken over la quinta.

then we went to the festival and saw REGINA SPEKTOR which was incredible. her voice is beautiful and we were so close, kate talked to her and told her to play samson for us.
then i went to the vip section and met hannah mel em zo but they were off to go backstage at NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, while we were standing in front of the powder room (me mia cassidy audrey imogen jengo) were talking and this girl (in Jeremy's clothes) came to us and asked us if we wanted to be in ID MAGAZINE. we were like o.k. and she brought us to the couches so we were like what exactly are we doing and she said that Jeremy Scott was photographing a piece on youth culture at Coachella for the ID september issue. So she introduced us to jeremy (whom i love) and we talked for a while about people in la that we knew and just everything. so then they gave us clothes to wear (i got this gorgeous lace dress, with lace socks and my nikes) then they put fake dreads in my hair and painted my face. so we did a bunch of shoots, me cassidy and jengo did one together which was really cool. then we were sitting and jeremy was introducing us to his friends mark hunter (the famous cobra snake) and cory kennedy and then cory did a similiar shoot.

after that i met up with zoe hannah and mel and we talked to jeremy for a while who introduced us to RATATAT unfortunatly we missed them but theyre going to put us on the list at their next l.a. show.

then we went to the Decemberists and a wee bit of Kings of Leon which were both incredible
then we saw vincent gallo, tera reid, claire from lost, drew barrymore, and adam brody.

after that olivia and i ran over to get a good spot for cocorosie, on the way we ran into audrey & imogen, mkenzy, and said hi to ella, selena, sam&will, and shadeh.

we were so mad b.c they were going to pay rainbow warriors, but the mechanics were messed up so they couldn't peform it i almost cried, but we stayed for the whole thing and it was amazing.

Then we ran as fast as we could to finish seeing arcade fire.

soon after we went to the vip section and had to pee, and Jenny Lewis was standing in line, so we sayed hi.

We consumed about 5 red bulls and were not suprisingly jumping off the walls. but we were so hungry (having not eaten breakfast, lunch or dinner) we got a piece of pizza to share. and said hi to Jenny again and Jonathan Rice. we also saw Jessica Stam who looked gorgeous.

Then we ate our pizza on the grass and saw steve aoki and the beat boxer from cocorosie and congratulated them on their amazing performances. Around them we saw Lindsay Lohan.

After that olivia and i ran around taking pictures of amazing outfits which we hope you enjoy,
After the Red Hot Chilli Peppers we left hoping to avoid serious traffic on the way out we saw Mischa Barton.

the car ride home was pretty much a drift because we were sleeping the whole time.

now that coachella is over we are in deppression but it was good to back in sweet la.
