Chromeo Day 2, Coachella

Today is show day. We have a great slot, at 10pm, right before Justice. It'll be an insane crowd for sure. The only thing is we have to be there by 12pm to drop our gear. It's not totally bad, at least we have some time in the afternoon to check out some other bands. I went to see some of Duffy (had a friend working for her), saw some Metric (again, only to say hi to friends), and met a couple friends from the Morcheeba tour I just finished, who are now working with Love & Rockets. Even bumped in to David Hasselhoff, and then got angry because I didn't have a camera with me. Who doesn't want their picture with the Hoff?

Before we knew it, the day had flown by and it was time to head to our stage to set up. It was a little bit of a nightmare getting things together. There was only supposed to be a 10min change over between each act, but each act had an entirely different lighting rig. That's kind of a big deal. It basically means the only thing that stays in place from act to act is the stage itself. It's a massive work load, but fortunately they had a massive amount of people to make it happen. It took more than 10 mins, but whatever, it happened, the show went off, the kids loved it, it was wild.

We didn't stick around too long after the show. We were all pretty beat so we just packed up our stuff and got out as soon as we could. Tomorrow will be early anyways because we have to drive back to LA for flights.
