This year’s trip to Coachella was both fun and productive. Golden Voice really knows how to put on an organized, fun and safe festival. My favorite acts were Girl Talk, MIA, Ghostland Observatory, Crystal Method with LMFAO and last half of Paul McCartney. Anthem Magazine and Urb Magazine put on some great parties which kept our crew cool in the desert heat. After a trip back to the condo and a bit of BBQ most days we’d be at the festival by sundown, which is an improvement form last year, when we had unused tickets for Saturday’s performances. My photos got a good deal of traction, including URB Magazine (Article 1, Article 2), Metrowize, Fusicology and possibly some print as well.

Weather was perfect at this year’s Lovefest, a tradition which stated in 2004. In its 3rd year the event drew over 65,000 people and tons of DJs with a party that started at 12pm on Saturday and just kept going through Sunday night at various parties all around the city. This year I decided to go under the radar and freelance for my buddies at metrowize.com Their high profiles sponsorship at the event made more sense for me to put down my phatcatphoto hat, and give them the best exposure with my photos. The event was great, although I did not keep track of which DJ was playing where, going from one stage to the next. The experience was amplified by a bit of pre partying, getting away from the sun at our friend Jason Knight’s place, located not too far from the Civic Center. As always, I don’t like to go into too many details, and give my photos a voice, enjoy!
