It took me three weeks, but I wanted to share some of the photos from my trip down to Indio, California for a 3-day concert in the desert. The last weekend of April was the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival down in Indio (which is near Palm Springs), with headliners Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rage Against the Machine! It was awesome.

I flew down to San Diego and drove from there with Maria and her roommate Camilla. We camped at the Empire Polo Fields for three days, and I’ve heard that the temperature hit about 104 at one point! There were about 30 bands and DJ’s each day, with music going from around noon to midnight. There were also several large-scale art installations (like the ones you find at Burning Man), and a renewable energy exhibit that was pretty cool.

There was lots of neat stuff to take photos of at night—fire machines, light shows, Tesla coils… My favorite acts were Faithless, Regina Spektor, Willie Nelson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Bjorn and John, and Rage.
