Title: Cochilla Valley Music Festiva
Post by: Oerdin on 01 May 2005, 19:13

Oh man second day is done and I'm still drunk as hell.  We left a bit earlier because the best bands had already played.  I was supposed to drive back but one of my friends and I ran into some Brazilian girls who wanted to use our sunscreen and I told them they could as long as they sat and had a couple beers with us.  Next thing you know a good 4-5 pitches of beer are gone and I'm to drunk to drive.  At least I did get one cuties phone number and she even lives in San Diego like me!  Still, my friends are kind of pissed that I can't drive back home.  I feel bad but the Brazilian girl was really cute so I think I'd do it again.

Right now I'm in our hotel room using my lap top.  The concert was totally UNFUCKING believable!  British Sea Power especially rocked.  Yesterday Coldplay, Bloc Party, and Wilco were the best in show and today Nine inch nails, British Sea Power, and Kasabian were ace.  I love The Arcade Fire's CD but he's just not as good live as he is on CD.  I guess that's just my opinion but that is how I feel.  Either way Cochilla rocked and I suggest everyone go there if they can.  So many big name bands, so many stags, so little time.

I do wish I brought a hat because the sun was brutal.  Being the only guy with sun screen was a nice way to talk to the ladies though but I wish I brought more water since the bastards wanted to chage $2 for a small bottle of water.  Still it wqs ace.  Now I have to check out of the hotel and someone will have to drive home.  This sucks I want o hang out and drink more beer.

Did you see Wolf Eyes? They said they weren't even gonna unpack their van, they were just gonna set up three blenders with rocks in them and mic that. I hope they really did it.

Sorry, I was rather drunk when I wrote that first post.  I was at the hotel waiting for my friends to pack up their stuff so I surfed the net for a few minutes.  Right now it's 3am and I'm tired so I'll write more tomorrow.

What nearby?  Its 2000 miles away from me and I still make it every year.
Simply amazing this year.
It was my first introduction to British Sea Power and I was pleasantly suprised.  I, too, am far from sober but still can type reasonably well. :P

I'm sure I'll write more when I get back home.

Oh...
Saw one QC tshirt!  i was kinda expecting more, but one will do.  It was a guy with a black iBooty shirt.

Well, unless it involves a border crossing for you, I'll assume you're closer than me.
