Staying up listening to music until after 2:00 AM only to wake up at 5:00 AM (coffee vendor) to to get the booth going with the low being 90 and high 105+ and music and partying all night long meant I had almost no sleep, but I knew that going in and had the time of my life. We also didn't have enough electrical power to run the AC and my Honda 2000 wasn't going to run it either, so the trailer was insanely hot, yet I still enjoyed myself. When I pull out to a Forest Service campground in the middle of nowhere with temps ranging between 55 and 65 degrees, I don't expect to be exposed to a nonstop yard service two sites away.
The best part of that Coachella trip? I made the drive all the way from Portland and back with the trailer in tow and actually made enough money to break even on the entire adventure with all the tips from selling coffee and renting my trailer out as an office during the day for the other vendors to settle up, and this included the insane $300+ cost for a ticket to get into the venue.
