My tent was giving open concept for Coachella day 2

Transcript

It's Coachella day two, and let's just say I didn't get any sleep last night. When I got back home last night, I saw my campsite was destroyed. It was giving open concept. No. But seriously, the wind has been the worst I've seen in five years. Even the stages had to close early. I had to put the campsite away until the wind died down and started setting up in the morning. I had used stakes to secure the tent, but this time, I'm tying it to my car. Nothing's gonna stop me from having a good time. The porta potties are still my biggest stop, but today, they weren't that bad. I headed to the camping hub early today, and the music was already playing. There's so many activities going on and stands giving free things away. I truly love it here. I picked up some food and coffee and then headed to the general store. They literally sell everything that you rank think of here. The amount of people I saw buy canopies was actually crazy. Wind Chella is in full effect. I headed to the showers, and it was just what I needed after last night. They do have hot water here, but I like showering with the cold water. Yesterday was so much fun. Sabrina gave us a house tour that literally blew my house away. Today, I'm going to good and camp pooch. I love how the brands throw parties out here. For my outfit, I'm wearing this KAWS shirt and indigo jeans, this red bandana to protect me from the dust, a stone necklace, and blue glasses. I'm so excited to see Bieber today and to go crazy in the Yuma. Alright, you guys. I'll see you tomorrow morning.
