Capt I love you. The drugged out tripper freaking out under the flaming dragon…the hours upon hours upon hours upon HOURS of ass shaking in the sahara…the baddass malibu crew…the kid in a fetal position on the grass during Throbbing Gristle writhing and shivering…the 500+ peni (multiple penises)…MBV making a fucking star fall from the sky
6 things I learned this year at Coachella:
1. The underbelly of the Sahara (the front/middle/right area) really is the funnest spot in all of the coachella valley desert
2. a big enough meal before entering the polo fields allows one to survive off of one spicy pie slice
3. Over the past four years at coachella I’ve learned that the only real “assholes” are cops and narcs, coachella has thee best crowd
4. Capt. has an uncanny ability to smell like salami.
5. Jailbaits. Everywhere.
6. While dancing in the Sahara, as long as you are smiling big enough to show your teeth and shaking your ass, ANYONE will smile back and shake their ass with you

Best Camera: Capt. Boobie, those pics look incredible. I don’t know much about Coachella, but I feel like you giving me a description would not do be worthy enough of how cool it was. I will be there next time!!
