Coachella Lineup 2014

I feel like I’ve let everyone down by being nearly a day late on posting this, but better late than never. Coachella’s lineup is amazing, isn’t it always? Kevin asked me if I had thought about going this year and the answer I gave him was “Well, I always think about going to Coachella every year, but it’s a matter of whether or not I think I have the money for it.” Yes, going to Coachella is probably an amazing experience says everyone that I know that goes every year, but sometimes I think I’m just happy watching it on a stream as well.

Someday, I might just change my tune. I haven’t forgotten that it was my dream goal to make it to every single major music festival in the US for one year yet.

Coachella From Your Couch

I’ve pretty much come to terms with the fact that I may never attend Coachella. It’s a sad fact, but it’s the sad truth about my bank account. Luckily, I’m not alone. Thankfully, the organizers of the festival understand our woes and have once again allowed Coachella to be streamed live. So um…that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend starting at 3PM on Friday on their YouTube channel. I know it’s not the same experience and that this year I’m not even watching it for research on booking artists and purely just for enjoyment, but it’s music nonetheless and it is simply what I love.

Coachella 2012

Bring on the music festival season! The first lineup for spring music festivals has just been released and I couldn’t be more excited even though there is not a chance at all for me to attend. The life of a poor college student right? As always, Coachella doesn’t disappoint and even though I won’t be attending this year, I know that someday I will and fingers crossed – it will be because it’s part of my job.

I could care less about some of the “Electric Dance Music” buzz (that’s right, I’m refusing to call it EDM,) but there are some acts under that category that I wouldn’t mind seeing.

In case any of you were worried, your blogger behind Yow Yow will never be a rave girl.

Coachella 2011 Fashion

Camilla Belle and Emma Hill both with Mulberry bags

It’s been exactly a week since Coachella blew all of us away whether we were at the festival or not. Although I was unable to attend the festival, YouTube did a pretty great job providing me with live streaming performances throughout the entire weekend! Watching sets from both Kanye and Jack’s Mannequin from my laptop Sunday evening was the best treat I could have given to myself.

Even though it’s been a week, Coachella is still alive in our hearts and minds as we enter peak music festival season! I couldn’t give it a proper farewell without posting a fashion roundup of the best festival looks from last weekend. Hello inspiration for Capitol Hill Block Party…
