Oh no!!! Oh no, damn!!! I just thought of something so sad. Even though we won't be able to make it out to Indio/Palm Springs to meet up with Bosco, I told him we'd give him a ring anyway. But I've lost his number because it was in my pm.

Hopefully he wrote my number down, but I feel so bad. He'll think we totally flaked on him and dissed him by not calling. :(

Does anyone have his cell # and if so email it to me: whirlygirl_29@yahoo.com ?

Check out the setlist of RATM:

01. Testify

02. Bulls On Parade

03. People Of The Sun

04. Bombtrack

05. Bullet In The Head

the festival was amazing and I was really happy that I was able to talk to So Me (of Ed Banger) again and Gaspard Augé (Justice) about their show. busy p was kind enough to talk with me briefly and my girlfriend and here sister:

My friend and I:

are going to start DJ'ing this summer so keep an ear to the ground about that.

EDIT: You'll have to pardon me, I am unfamiliar with the new site's method of handling img tags. how does one include a image ala Bosco's post

Hell yeah, you've changed a lot since I first saw you (you're still such a cutie, really - you and your girlfriend look so cool together!)

It's great to see you had such a fantastic time!!

Yea!! That shorts, 'Nike' sneakers, and sunglasses R F***ing Awesome! Man, U got that american style!! And, I'll better check that 'Justice (best performance)' on YouTube!!

"The best coachella you've ever been to"?

And no chems playing?

Fuck yeah you've changed, you must have suffered a head injury. ;)

The whole Ed Banger block was hella fun.

Previous to the festival, I had talked to Busy P on the coachella message board, where he was hyping his set with DJ Mehdi on the Saturday of the festival. They were set up to play the same time against Arcade Fire, so he knew he had to try and rally as many troops as he could. I mentioned to him that I would definitely be there and would be wearing that lime green "BOSCO" shirt I showed you guys. And I also knew it was his Birthday on the 21st of April so i wished him a early happy birthday. He replied back to me thanking me for my kindness and guaranteed me a free Ed Banger shirt. :)

So as Saturday came rolling on and MSTRKRFT finished up, I made my way up to the front rail easily and was spotted by Busy P right away. He came over and gave me a handshake followed by the first Ed Banger shirt he gave out for the day. :)

So as Busy P and DJ Mehdi finished up their long and fantastic set, which included Arcade Fire's "Rebellion Lies", Aphex Twin's "Window Licker", and finished with Rage's "Killing in the Name of". They secretly made their way into the crowd front row for the very first ever Justice set. Thus these pictures:

Then, towards the end of the Justice set Busy P came over by me in the front row where i helped him get over the barrier and on stage, which then he took some video of me and my "BOSCO" shirt rockin out (that might be on a future ED Banger DVD).

Eventually, DJ Mehdi and So-Me came up on stage with Busy P and they all stage dove into the unexpecting enormous crowd.

those 3-4 hours of my life were very very very exciting.

Those french blokes sure know how to party.

HE LIVES!!!!!!!

Dude, Bosco - I am so sorry I didn't call you. The pm's went away with the new site on that Friday you were at Coachella, and I had a hard time logging into the old site that was linked here. Do you have my number?

whirly, its all good, I was so busy, tired, and so much drama happened i could write a book about it. Ill get you all the details of what happened that weekend shortly. And yes, I do have your number

Drama... ooo!! No vacation would be complete without a little drama. I'm so glad you made it back home alive. I hope you had the time of your life!

so did u see RATM? I hear it was INSANE.

what else did u see Bosco?

Good to hear u had a blast!

Yeah RATM was great, I was far away but it still was outstanding!

I'll get a full review of my trip on here soon, been a little bit busy...

Ok, as I’ve sat here tonight and started typing out about 1/4th of my long ass story. I’ve realized that it’s probably better off to be saved for one of those "late night conversations" (if I should ever meet some of you people) because while im writing it out im I don’t feel like im give justice to the story. So im just gonna give you my story in a nutshell.

In a very complicated manner, where the person that was giving me a ride to and from the festival, both of our cell phones died at the end of the night. Thus, leading me to have to hitchhike the first night of Coachella.

Then the next night, somehow my recharged cell phone slipped out of my pocket and got lost. And initially I thought it was stolen because it had been turned off (went straight to voice mail when we called it with my ride’s, also, recharged cell phone.)But was able to get it back on Sunday Morning.

Nothing went wrong on Sunday night (thank god)

The first two nights were hella stressful though. But im glad its happened it’s a good reality check and shows how I can survive out on my own.

As for the performances.......
