it's kinda like the calm before the storm; peaceful, aside from the insanely booming bass we're hearing from the festival soundcheck once every 5 minutes or so. hilary here, typing from what will be our coachella broadcast home base for the weekend. we're set up in a house right by the festival and our broadcast equipment is upstairs in a big room with a balcony, a pool table, and white carpet, which is ideal when you're going to be having band after band traipsing through. traipsing, even!
we arrived last night in time to set things up here and have way too many beers. thankfully, jermsy, our resident beer expert, stocked us up with everything from lost abbey to stone to alesmith to cucapa to budweiser. good times. as i type this, it's about 9:15am and the coffee's brewing, the eggs & bacon are being eaten and i'm sitting up here feeling nervous. i've been in radio for 18 years and still, before every interview, i get butterflies. it's all good though - vampire weekend are on their way here and should be on with us in the 10am hour, and then devo are expected after that. i'll check in here periodically, as will everyone who's here with us for the weekend, and we'll be posting pictures and videos as we take them. you can also follow fm 94/9 and/ or me on twitter and the station and i on facebook too; we'll be updating there throughout the weekend as cool stuff happens too. if you're coming out, hope to see you at the festival! and if you're not, i hope you dig our coverage. on that note, i need more coffee.
