RoadTrip: Gonzo Adventures to Coachella Music Festival & Back

One day while relaxing at Venice Beach, I met a skateboarder named Clem. We got around to talking about music, he mentioned California's Coachella Music Fest and suddenly I found myself about to embark on the most spontaneous road trip of my life. In a world so predetermined by control freak scheduling, planning and menial tasks, the idea of a serendipitous road trip can be intimidating. But once you break down that self-imposed barrier, you find your world gets turned upsidedown and the usual laws of nature no longer apply. My story contains everything you'd want from a truly gonzo adventure - drugs, sexual tension, brushes with the law, surreal surroundings, loud music and chance acquaintances. Enjoy!

Friday, 11pm

Let the randomness begin! After driving past enormous bats through four hours of treacherous mountain terrain, I'm officially in Indio - the Desert - going to meet LA Clem's brother Alex, whom I've never met. Who knows when Clem will arrive? I've been told he's classically late. Strangely enough, things didn't even feel weird at all. It was like the drunken time I wandered into the wrong apartment in Geneseo and was casually greeted by four unsurprised shroomheads. "Heyyyyy how's it goinnnnn? Want some shrooooooms?" they had remarked. Alex and his roommate Fito were very chill guys who invited me in without hesitation.
