I’ve got a full tank of gas and tires full of air. My bag’s mostly packed and I’ve got my schedule of bands to photograph.

I’m slightly less stressed out now than I was 6 hours ago…

I also just signed up for this Twitter thing that all the kids are using these days. Mostly because at 2PM I was sitting in a long line for the Costco gas pumps in Mission Valley, thinking “WTF why is everyone at the gas station at 2PM on a Thursday??? Doesn’t anyone work in this town?” And then it occurred to me that moments like that are exactly why Twitter was created. The feed should be over there on your right, so you can follow along with me at Coachella as I slowly melt away from all the heat…
