The Road to Coachella

What? 
Mel and Teresa seek to experience life through the lens of unrestricted love and phenomenal energy- to be spiritually awakened through art. This is the year we need to make the pilgrimage to the Holy Grail of festivals: Coachella. Why Coachella, because, this is the most epic line up ever, it's mind-blowing. Girl Talk will be there. It's a sign, because he was the first concert we saw, he introduced us to the community - we knew this was the moment of our lives. In this moment we realize the need to give, love and share. Even if you don't know the person you're experiencing the beat drop with - because that's what makes an experience that keeps giving and it starts with you.

Our History:
Mel: Comm graduate from Arizona State, living life to the fullest in NYC, working in Social Media PR by day - bottle service by night, my true passions lie in music. Trying to live each day as it comes, it's not the destination, it's the journey.

Teresa: Graduated from BU, but California girl at heart - studying for grad school and just going with the flow.  Music is my boyfriend, but love is fluid. Meow ;)

Why We're Inviting You To Participate:
At the age of 25 our parents cut us off.

On Why It's All Worth It:
The movement that is Coachella happens once a year and it's the cultural revolution of our generation, it's the art and the experience we'll be telling our kids about. Our eyes will be open to experiences, love, harmony and peace... ways of life we never even knew existed, we will be forever changed - we will see hearts of people who live their life for art and thrive upon the very being that is the soul of Coachella. Don't let our generation pass us by, as Ellie Goulding says - "Anything Could Happen," and you could make that happen.

On Why You're Important To Us:
We won't have the stories of our spiritual awakening to tell without you. You never forget your first festival. The lights, the music, the people, the once in a life time experience - a feeling that cannot be replicated - a chance of love. We're there for a good time, to throw caution to the wind with strangers all bonded together by the common thread that the universe brought us here, and even when the sun sets in Indio, we all trust the vibes of the night - that is what your money can achieve, a lifetime of memories.
