So when we talked about the fact that we were going to cover this and that I was going to get to

talk to you about it, you, after our first convo, then sent me an email being like, oh, sorry, I didn't realize this was going to be on in the middle of the fucking night. And I want you to know, Russ, that like I would have stayed up all night to watch Gargachella. I happened to have house guests this weekend. So I was like, I saw clips. And particularly once I started seeing some of the coverage and some of the clips that were

indicating like this was really, really epic, I was like, okay, I can't just run through the clips.

I need to watch this whole thing. So I'm kind of still processing it in some ways because I got up

this morning and I just watched the whole thing start to finish. And I was like, I need to make

sure that I give myself time to not only have

seen it for what it was, but to have an intelligent thought about it. But I'm going to be honest

with you, I really do feel like it's still sort of sinking in because I knew by the point that

I started that people had really good reviews, felt that it was this really special like capstone

feeling kind of performance. And and man just watching her do

that still cleared that bar like that was a special special show i haven't had Coachella envy in like

years and i was like fuck i'm so mad i'm not there yeah listen i stayed up and watched this live like a crazy

person i went to bed at like 10 p.m and set my alarm for 1.45 a.m. As though I was like catching a flight. It's like very geriatric millennial code. It really, really is. I've got to tell you, I watched a few of the performances over the weekend. I love Coachella on the couch. Couchella. It's got everything that I enjoy, but me not having to be in a crowd or be hot.

Yeah, I was almost too overwhelmed in the moment watching it live to recognize how good it was.

I was also sort of delirious because of my waking up to watch it.
