I don’t know why people still go to Coachella. The acts that play now are not even real bands. That said, this is a story about going to Coachella 2004 with that smart girl from the previous story. Some of the headliners included Radiohead, Pixies, Kraftwerk, The Cure, the Flaming Lips, and Belle & Sebastian. Pixies just released this set as a live album. I think it is one of their best shows, and I saw them a lot before Kim left. Check it out. Anyway, I digress.
So I set up this trip to include a few days in San Francisco before the festival. We had been having a lot of fun on the weekends back east. She loved the sexy sense of adventure I offered as a juxtaposition to motherhood and her tough job. She loved being a different person when we were together, and I loved that different person.
We flew to San Francisco and checked into a room with a view at The Mark Hopkins Hotel. We both washed the flight away with showers. I got to watch her choose and put on some wonderful lingerie that she had bought at La Perla back east. That got pretty sexy, but we held off. She was dressed to the nines. Looked fantastic.
