It was another amazing weekend in San Diego and probably hot as hell at Coachella. I missed out this year and would be a little more bummed if I didn't spend the weekend cruising around the beach with friends and sipping vodka arnold palmers poolside at the Marriott. I would have liked to have seen M. Ward play on Friday along with a few others. His song and new music video for "Rave On" makes me feel all warm and summery inside. Oh well, there's always next year to lather on sunscreen and sweat bullets in the desert heat.
