Coachella Night 2: Dance And Rave While This Guy Paints
(originally posted on kroq.radio.com)
This being my first Coachella, I’m still taken aback at some of the things I encounter. Tonight, Lightning and I were meandering around the field while Tiesto entranced about 50,000 people (none of whom were on ANY illegal substances,) and we stumbled across this.
It was a tent near the main stage where a DJ was spinning some chill music, a couple of guys were playing instruments, and people were just dancing. Really, really close together. And not just dudes… girls too. Attractive ones. Next to that, a dude was painting what you see above.
Yes. Painting it.
He had already finished up this one, on the other side of the stage. People would occasionally stop and gaze in wonder as the man worked, and some would even snap pictures — us included. But gentlemen, the real trick was this: the ladies went nuts for this guy.
They yelled to him from the ground. They wanted to know his name, where he was from, and what motivated him. They hugged him and touched him inappropriately. One of them scratched his back feverishly.
Dudes: if you want to land some alterna-chicks at Coachella 2011, go learn how to paint and set up one of these numbers. If you can manage that, you’re in. You’re so in.
