Coachella Art Garden

Near the end of our honeymoon, Annie and I attended the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. I took a number of pictures and videos to document the excursion. Due to camera-memory restraints, the video-taking was limited. I recorded performances as the camera-memory allowed on any given day, based on what I thought people in my life might want to see.

I realize that this post is a little late by traditional party photo blog standards, but I had to create a Flash video skin that matched my site design, because I am anal like that. There is a lot of content here, so it might take a little while for everything to load… patience is a virtue. If it is not a virtue you possess, feel free to open a new tab and use the internet while you wait.* Enjoy!

*I recently implemented an update to the video interface that prevents the videos from loading in the background until they are clicked. Consequently, the initial load time of this entry has been decreased from about 20-30 minutes, to around ten seconds. When it comes to load-times, patience is not a virtue I possess either.

The National

These videos go out to Ingrid and Annie, respectively and collectively. Note the transition from late-afternoon to dusk.

MGMT

These videos go out to Adam. We were wondering why they didn't play “Kids” when we saw them at Slowdown. Apparently, it was because they didn't know how…

Aphex Twin

These videos go out to Andy, Nicotine, A. Hall, and the Block-Fort. I have no idea what songs he is playing, nor why he jumped on the animal-costume bandwagon.

Your photos need more Wayfarers and undies. Right now I don't even believe you went to Coachella.

Make a tutorial to show how to customize your flash video player interface.
