FoundTrack vs Coachella ... 1 Week Later

Here are a few photos and favorite moments from FoundTrack's excursion to Coachella- We know we're a week late, but it's taken us that long to recover...
(DJ KnewJack and his new friend playing at the Corona Yacht Club)

DJ KnewJack's top moments
:
* "Rocking out to 'Living in America' and slugging down fruit punch Gatorade vodkas like it was 1995..."
* "Not being able to feel my legs after 2 blisteringly badass hours of losing my mind watching Prince"
* "Runner up... Anthem Party = Hedonistic madness- coulda stayed there all day. They shoulda played some hip hop though!"


(Styles G programming the FoundTrackMobile's top secret super computer)

Styles G's top moments
:
* "Prince. He 'seperated the men from the boys' (that's a technical Rock n' Roll term)"
* "Purple pleasure cruisin' with Bright Orange Sirens" - more on that to come...
* "$10,000 for an inflatable pig shorn to pieces? God Bless America!"

(Purple Prince People Eater)

(Marchelle modeling our primary source of nourishment for the weekend)

Marchelle from Bedtime for Toys' top moments:
* "Searching for Styles in various locales"
* "Sleeping under the desert stars listening to Portishead while trying to forget the imminent threat of being stepped on by a hippie or hipster"
* "Posing with KnewJack and 2 donkey pinatas miming a sex act at the Anthem Party"

(who says the donkey show only happens in Tijuana?)

(NWA hat and "Boobs on Patrol" t-shirt... I'D kill for either of those)

Nasty Nass' top moments:
*
"Asking Bijou Phillips to take a picture of US at the Spin Party"
* "Taking a photo with the donkey at the Anthem Party"
* "taking chances eating lunch at a Salvadorian strip mall restaurant, but learning you won when they're playing old episodes of Yo MTV Raps"

(V modeling the sunglasses he sweet talked Megan the bartender at the Fader / Boosted party into lending him)

V's top moments:
*
"Being smuggled OUT of the Filter Party in the back of a pickup with three other random derelicts..."
* "Commandeering the paddle boat at the Smurf Village/BPM Party" (more photos here)
* "Portishead, M.I.A., and the being totally high on life and seeing a giant pig fly by after being kidnapped by Amanda ..."

(crazy ass M.I.A. visuals)

(random girlies who climbed the rafters to get a better view of M.I.A.)

(The FoundTrackmobile - with fully operational sirens and scrolling message marquee for speedy parking exits)

(pigs CAN fly... at least giant graffiti inflatable ones can)

(Wallpaper, once again rocking the house- this time at the Filter Party)

(sometimes we forget what we're actually at Coachella for- the tunes, the tunes, the tunes)

(the fabulous life- lounging at the Fader/Boosted House)
