Naked Wizard Tased By Reality from Tracy Anderson on Vimeo.

“Alright, so we’re walking up on this perp. It’s Coachella, he’s naked, indecent exposure. I look at him, fondly. He’s a good looking man. I’m a cop. My partner already suspects I’m gay… could be my career. Damn. I better beat and taser the hell out of this guy then.”

Watch the video. really one of the most disturbing police interactions I’ve ever seen.

Keeping the great unwashed masses out of the Do Lab backstage area was a full time job for Bryan. While shouting “Get off my lawn!” he would gleefully spray down any concert goers who forced their way too close to the DJ booth. It’s a dirty job and all that.

So it is really beautiful today, the clouds are rolling in on the horizon. Cold winds blew us around all day yesterday. The installation is really coming together. It’s huge. We are doing these amazing towers of pallets, this 30 ft. aerial rig, two stages, giant vegetables. It’s inspiring to be able to work on this kind of project again.

It got very cold last night, after a long and humid day. When I first landed around 11, by the time I had finished setting up my tent I was drenched in sweat. At around midnight I had to quit work because I was too cold. So, coachella comers, keep in mind your warmth when you arrive during the hot day.

I should have some panoramics up tonight!
