Coachella Weekend 1 4/12-14

Let me start off by saying I miss it with every fiber of my being. That was such a fun weekend. I wish life were always that thrilling, free, and exciting.

-Blood Orange concert So I smoked before then I just did handle pulls by myself bc ofc I did smh. I was buzzing hard standing in line, but it took a while and it was cold as shit. There was an opener and Ian Isaiah sang, which was fine and fun. After he ended, Johnny saw Dev Hynes standing TO THE FUCKING LEFT OF US. I was freaking the fuck out!!! Omg!!! MY IDOL!!! I WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM. Then turns out Tessa Thompson came and SHE WAS STANDING LITERALLY BEHIND ME. I.FREAKED.OUT. OMGGGGGGGG Almost fainted. Plot twist coming up. They ended up going backstage bc too many people were recognizing them at this point. Blood Orange finally started his set, and I looked up at the lights and knew I was starting to feel faint and woozy. It felt like a really bad come up. The lights were swirling and combining colors. I was starting to lose all my sensations, and I was shifting forward and backward. I couldn’t stand still, and Johnny pulled me back, then I fainted, but immediately got back up afterward. I was like omg Natalie!!! It was bc I was so dehydrated!!! Some girl offered me water, and this big security guard linked arms with me and escorted me out. Ugh why does this always happen. We sat outside for a while. Went back inside and enjoyed the shit out of the set. Holy shit! That was the set I knew he could deliver without sound problems. I danced MY HEART OUT. I had so much fun and hardly remember it tbh. One of the best concerts of my life for sure. And a big LLLLLL

-Tame Impala set: I LOST MY SHIT!!!! I had a bad come up before so I was already sleepy from drinking so much so quickly during Maggie’s set. I sat down and ate Johnny’s paella then started getting really sleepy. I closed my eyes and dozed off for a bit. Took the pill, waited at Billie’s set to catch some of her. I used the restroom to shit, so I knew I was coming up. It was a struggle to shit in a romper, but I managed. We were walking towards Tame, and I began to feel really nauseous. I stopped then started throwing up. Then I was like ok, I’m good! Let’s go!!!!!! Lmao. I lost my fucking shit at Tame esp when Let It Happen started. Aaron let me ride on his shoulders, bless his soul. I was probably clenching his head so hard. It was one of the most energetic, insane, and delightful sets of my life. My fucking GOD. At one point, I felt some come up again, so I threw up right there in the crowd and started to dance again. Lmao, I’m a fucking mess. Elephant was probably my favorite song because it was absolutely mental and gnarly. If Let It Happen weren’t my favorite song, Elephant would’ve taken the cake. The lasers, the energy, the passion. Holy fuck. I just keep holding my head thinking about the set. It’s the set to beat this year.

-Maggie Rogers set: I knew the words to every single word of every song played during the set (besides The Knife). Her crowd was electric, warm, vibrant, and felt like a collective presence. If you could curate who to surround yourself with, this would be the card. By far the best crowd at Coachella. I felt safe and like I belonged there. I loved the energy! She was incredible. She was effervescent, open, vulnerable--I felt like she poured her soul into the performance. I felt every emotion, word, feeling, and was overwhelmed in the best way. I felt light; I felt pain; I connected to her. Burning was EBULLIENT. I wanted to live in that song forever. I looked around and everyone was overjoyed and having so much fun too. By the time she ended and played Fallingwater, I became overwhelmed and felt the flurry of emotions. It was a cathartic moment, and I felt something purging inside me. Then she stood there beaming, singing the oh-oh-oh part, and I couldn’t hold myself together anymore. She thanked the crowd and told us how grateful she was, and I started to absorb her emotions and all the repressed emotions I felt during the rollercoaster of last year flooded out of me. I started to sob. I couldn’t believe I cried. The lights came up, and I looked over at Johnny, and he just held me. It felt like when Ladybird ended, and the lights came up and I was sobbing then/there too. I’ll never forget that moment. I’ll never forget that performance. I was jubilant, wrought, and felt seen/vulnerable. It was transcendent. It felt so full circle to see her. I’ll hold this set close to my heart forever.

-APaak: So much fun and so dancey. I’ve been waiting forever to see him, and I’ve missed his show so many times, so I’m so glad I finally got to see him live. He met all my expectations. I screamed to every song and danced my ass off.

-Rufus: I loved Rufus even tho the lead singer sucked. I mostly remember seeing Jasmine inch up further and further away from us. She was blacked out at this point and Idk. I also was on Aaron’s shoulders SCREAMING to Innerbloom. I love that damn song.

-Kid Cudi, looking at Jasmine and being so happy that she was there--that we were there together dancing at the festival. I was overjoyed esp during the 2nd play/upbeat rendition of up up and away. I couldn’t believe I was with her, my festie bestie, and we had such a good run at Coachella. Jubilation
