Coachella 2014 | Part 1

Is it time...

Is it time for me to mingle into the booming crowd, filled with free spirits and fashion faux pas? It was so interesting to me, being a part of this right along with them! Judging others seemed to be a thing of the past, I felt free.

We parked our Red Hatchback into the designated spot motioned to us... having one hell of a time backing up into the space. We got out of our vehicle, stretched our tired legs, and it just felt like we made it home. We unpacked our gear, set up camp in our designated square marked out for us, then got acquainted with our neighbors. The neighbors to our right were party-friendly... the neighbors to our left were more our age, laid back, and into the same genres of music as we were. AWESOME!

We decided that we needed to take a walk, explore the grounds, before our big weekend of music begins the next day. Our camp-spot was a good mile or so away from the actual gate, but they had some interesting things to look at or participate in along the way. A phoenix, about as tall as a 2-story building, had a bench swing attached to its beak to allow for passersby to enjoy an amazing sunset together. However, we kept walking onward to see more of the grounds. Little mini-houses were put together by artists of the festival and they were lined up on the path to the main gate. We explored each house, each with its own quirky touch to it... along with others whom were investigating - we also enjoyed photo-bombing all their photos. ;) We were then drawn to a huge geometric dome illuminated with pink and purple lights blasting some great dance tunes to bump and grind to!

We were beyond excited to see this awesome potential of what lies behind the main gate, as we were not able to get in until the following day. It was then time for rest and we headed back to camp to do so.
