First, a track from the band that opened the main stage on Coachella Saturday; this song was their set-opener. They really did a great job starting Saturday off on a good note.Now, to serve notice of those who attended Coachella 2008 together this past weekend, and proceeded to have The. Best. Vacation. Ever."+Amber+":http://mog.com/amber: The main organizer, our mother hen, bus driver, and shutterbug extraordinaire, not to mention the sister with whom I could commiserate on the state of our teenage sons. And SO many :::BigSquooshyHugz:::, I lost count."+Jaye+":http://mog.com/jaye: Amber's longtime concert buddy, and her husband's last-minute stand-in. I have to give her props for being the only woman with the guts to sit in the back seat of the bus EVERY time."+Blair+":http://mog.com/satisfiedmind2: Our Coachella veteran, Ohio state buff, and quite possibly the tallest guy in indie-fandom. Dude sings a mean "Sabotage", and pretty much does everything like a rockstar."+Henry+":http://mog.com/Me_and_the_Horse_I_Rode_In_On: What else can be said about the guy who could easily pass as Ben Gibbard's blonde cousin, has the best accent ever, and can actually sing but passed on karaoke? Time to catch a rising star here, he's gonna be HUGE, at least in our hearts."+August+":http://mog.com/augusts1: The man to call on for sure when your drunk neighbor knocks at 2AM to tell you that the water from the gutter under the cars looks like fire. And the guy who borrowed the BIGGEST air mattress EVER. If we had had a flood, all 8 of us could have floated to safety on it."+Kate+":http://k8girl.multiply.com: (Sorry, she deleted her MOG page) Without a doubt, the best navigator EVER. She managed to handle the radio, directions, and even fixed the Garman at 4AM after I hit the wrong place on the touch screen and fouled it up. For me at least, the greatest X-factor; I'd not talked to Kate as much as the others, but I feel like I know her much better now. An absolute sweetheart."+Lizzie+":http://mog.com/Lizziegreeneyes: Yes, she's EXACTLY the same in person as she is on the computer screen. Just a non-stop bundle of energy, positive vibes, and Glen Hansard fandom. If I wasn't getting a hug from Amber, I was getting a hug from Lizzie. Again, not that I minded one bit. :) How did I get so lucky, as to have two green-eyed sisters this cool?And me. You know me.Lest I forget, two other supporting MOGgers that played a vital role in the festivities:"+Mark+":http://mog.com/Pop_Savant: Helped get Lizzie to and from the timeshare that was our home from Friday afternoon until Monday early morning. Attended quite a few shows with us, and came over for Sunday evening dinner. Good guy, vast musical knowledge. I would be sure to be in frequent contact with him at any festival, but especially SXSW; just sayin'."+Alex+":http://mog.com/caliscrnwrtr: Didn't come to Coachella with us, but did provide me safe harbor at her office until we managed to get hold of Amber and the rest. More on that later.Oh yes, one more thing, quote most often heard at MOGachella House: "@#%$#@%! Oh whoops, sorry Dale!" Never ceased to bring a smile to my face, not that anyone was swearing, but that they tried SO hard to not swear. So sweet, really. :)
