Our Community member Ryan aka Mini_Me is back from the Coachella Valley Music Festival and shared a little blurb, amazing pictures and cool videos he shot at the event in the Madonna Tribe Forum.

Here is an excerpt of his story, and a few of the great pictures he took. Please click here to find out more on the Madonna Tribe Tour Forum. Click on any picture to enlarge.

“All I can say is… I didn’t originally want to go because I heard that Coachella was crowded, hot, and miserable and you had to wait forever to get a good view of any artist you wanted to see…

I casually mentioned to my friend that Madonna was playing Coachella, and he bought tickets (even though he’s not a big fan)… we left LA at 2 am, arrived at Coachella a little after 4. We waited 17 hours to see Madonna… we were in the pit, only 1 or 2 people between me and Madonna depending on whether she was on the stage or the mini-catwalk.

I’ve never seen her from this close before… she is breathtaking… everything you’ve heard about her looking better in person than in pics is absolutely true…” Here’s the great shot – click to zoom.
