Coachella 2008: A First Look
No, I did not make it out today. I waited in Marina Del Rey all day as planned, Sandalwood Conference Room, Courtyard Marriott. Eventually the truck arrived, carrying our two new conference tables. Hey, somebody’s gotta handle the nuts and bolts. Fuck off. Still, the wait and unfortunate LES SAVY FAV dodge actually afforded me the opportunity to check out that Free Blood / Death Set / Yeasayer / No Age show inside that freaky Eastern Bloc ballroom on Melrose (photos TK). Thanks Sean, that shit was tight and I don’t mean that in a security way. Amazing bands, clientele, locale…what do you want from me. If I couldn’t be in a dusty field in the desert, well, this was the closest second.
Meantime I get this missive from Victor. We’ve got photogs running all over Indio, yet what’s the sole photo I’m greeted with? Pork nachos. Behold:

Speechless. See you out there bright and early, Saturday. Fuckers.
Wait, wait…is that al pastor on nachos? If so, that is definitely newsworthy.
V-
This is the fucking grossest picture I have ever seen. But I commend you for it anyways, just please tell me that this is not the kind of thing you regularly eat, and that we will not be eating this kind of thing come the day I can actually dine with you and Ryan.

Can I get this on some fries?
[...] a quick note to say we’re still alive (and to bump those formidable pork nachos down a rung). Sunburned, maybe. Dehydrated, definitely – but still charged. Stay with us, [...]
That looks fucking disgusting.
What park of the pork is that? Is it still caled “pork” is it was something discharged from the anus of an animal?

I had some chicharron at Taqueria Sanchez today. It was not good. The al pastor, however, was as incredible as always.
[...] warned you guys I was going to show up early [...]
