>Coachella Essentials

>In just 10 days I will be driving into the desert to experience my favorite festival around…Coachella! I find myself making a list of things that I MUST have in my purse. It’s usually at least 100 degrees during the day and gets as cold as 60 degrees in the evening. As a 5 year veteran, here is my list:

-Sunscreen
-Sunglasses
-Floppy Hat
-Advil
-Moist Towelettes (especially if you’re wearing sandals!)
-Lip Balm
-Extra Phone Battery (you’re screwed if you have an iPhone!)
-Walkie Talkies if you’re in a group of 4 or more or plan on splitting up
-$100 in spending cash/day (all that water/food/drinks add up! Merch accepts credit cards, thank goodness…)
-travel sized deodorant
-tissues (for when the toilets run out of toilet paper! or paper towels)
-towel for sitting on questionable grass

Ahhhhhhhh! So excited to see KOL, The Black Keys, Interpol, Robyn, Crystal Castles, Cee Lo Green, Lauren Hill, Cee Lo, Cut Copy, Sleigh Bells, Nosaj Thing, Marina and the Diamonds, Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Bright Eyes, One Day as a Lion, The Kills, Mary Anne Hobbs, Kanye, The Strokes, Duran Duran, The National, DFA1979, Ratatat, The Presets, and now my hands hurt.

Any suggestions on who else to see? Please comment! 🙂
