Coachella vs. Sasquatch!

So, here is the question you have to ask yourself, If you can cram bigger better bands into 3 days, why wouldn't you save your self the extra day of hooker voice, dirty camping face, the time & the weather gamble?

Heres the deal, I have been to both festivals, each offering their own amazing set of traits including amazing venue, great adventure and even better entertainment. However the year has come where only one may be attended, line ups are looking pretty standard in comparison with Coachella one upping Sasquatch as per usual.....

How is it that Coachella can blow Sasquatch out of the water even while they are trying to offer their biggest party yet for their 10th anniversary? Adding on an extra day does not mean you automatically win in comparison....... Yes there are many similar titles added to each bill, but can you really compare the emo cry fest that you would receive from watching Death Cab to one of which you would be crying from a bang over from rocking out so hard after a night filled with Kings of Leon & Black Keys back to back? I really hate to be this guy, I know its no fun choosing a festival especially after they have both been so good to me over the years but, Im sorry old friend, I suppose you and the beauty of the gorge have lost this battle & happy anniversary by the way.

On to the next topic....who has a place for me to stay during Coachella? 

Daze go by

My apologies for my delequince in this bloggin thing, Its funny how this has become one of those things that is now on my never ending list of things to do. Isn't it amazing how fast time can go by? I can barely even begin to comprehend the fact that it is February 3rd 2011 today. What happened to January? A month filled with new beginnings, aspirations and hope for the new year, only to be followed with February....?

 Why is it that we can spend a whole year planning for what will change in the next only to forget about it a month in?  Think to your self how many times you have said things will be different next year or next month. When will those things ever change? I don't have the answer, however I do know one thing. That we are the only ones in charge of our destiny. It is important to acknowledge that and take responsibility for it. If I thought for one minute last February that I would be sitting in fat teddys after work drinking red wine and blogging I would have laughed hysterically shaken that scary thought off and moved on plowing through the hours of home work I had on my plate at the time. However here I am, Juggling a full time work schedule and chasing my dreams of becoming something, somehow, somewhere. I suppose for now that somewhere is here that something is successful and somehow I suppose is in my hands and I'm not mad about it at all.
