The Best and Worst Things at Coachella's First Weekend

The heat sucked, the people sucked, the bands sucked, and the food sucked. But somehow I still managed to have a good time. Here are some photos so you know what you're getting yourself into this weekend.

Coachella was easily the best and worst thing I’ve experienced this year. The heat sucked, the people sucked, the bands sucked, and the food sucked (except for the Kogi truck—THANK GOD). But somehow I still managed to have a good time.

Getting the run-down on the festival from die-hard music fans was cool. They taught me what Disclosure is and that, in order to get a good spot for Skrillex, I had to wait against a barricade through ten hours of deafening bass. I also saw a lot of shitty things like massive, poster-size cut-outs of artists' heads in the crowd, and a bunch of stupid hashtags, but overall it was an OK time.
