off to coachella - #3
Spiderman should take up macrame. However, with Coachella hitting 46 degrees this year, Spiderman should not take up festival going in lycra onsies. However, our editor Jo has, and the journey continues.
Our story today starts a little before Coachella did, but I had to have an excuse to share my International Macrame Moment with you all. This took place at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, which - aside from being a ridiculously awesome mid-century modern concern, bedecked with exposed stone walls and taxidermied beasts - is also home to the most intense macrame installation I've ever seen. Take a look! It's like Spiderman took up craft!
Spiderman should not take up festival-going, however. His lycra costume wouldn't have worked today: IT WAS 46 DEGREES. Still, I did manage a small amount of rocking out. Neon Indian, Atari Teenage Riot, Black Keys, Mazzy Starr and Refused, plus some of my all-time favourite jams from Pulp. I also met a long-way-from-home frankie fan (so glad we represent) and a tattoo model called Lolita (pictured here in all her inky glory). Yes, it was a bloody nice day in California.
Sunscreen applied: approximately 1 kilo. Water drunk to stave off dehydration: probably my own body weight. Enjoyment level (especially where Jarvis Cocker is concerned): extreme.
