Coachella Day Three at a Glance

HOURS AT THE POLO FIELD: 9.5 hours (2 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.)
TEMPERATURE: I think we made it to 100.
ACTS SEEN: 12
THE BEST: Black Mountain (pictured), Gogol Bordello
THE DISAPPOINTMENT: Duffy
T-SHIRT SPOTTING: Relatively few really cool band t-shirts in the crowd, but plenty of pop culture miscellanea: Shirts displaying Carlton from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and the Michael J. Fox-friendly "Marty McFly is Teen Wolf" were both seen. One shirt summed up life in general: "Rad, Dope, Awesome, Fresh." There were tees with religious slogans ("My First Jesus Shirt" and "God Hates Techno") and the ever-present Americana trilogy -- "I Love NY," "Virginia is for Lovers" and "Don't Mess With Texas." Best of all was the shirt that answered an age-old question. It read, simply, "I let the dogs out."
RANDOM THOUGHT: It was a long, hot, awesome weekend. The delicious chicken skewers were a victim of inflation: They started at $6 on Friday and, by the end of Sunday, they were $8. Also, should Roger Waters really be sending giant inflatable pigs and noxious gasses from his fire-spouting pyro display into the atmosphere just one week after Earth Day?
