I camped across the street from you guys! We were the ones with the slip-n-slide that kept getting shut down by security, haha. You guys had an awesome set up ... good times, can't wait to do it...

Overall, I have to say that top to bottom this was one of the best Coachella's for me! Of course there were a few issues along the way, but there probably always will be. I thought the set up of...

Got in line around 11am with 8 cars all trying to park together and got on 109N, which was an amazing location, but actually pulling it off and getting there was a huge pain in the ass!

I'm pretty...

I'm not "boardie" but I'm pretty sure I met a lot of you this year at the Dirty Epic campsite. I was part of the group that had the slip-n-slide goin during the day. I don't remember names for some...

Was going to try to go to this set but by the time I went over the line was already HUGE. They absolutely need to fix the entry line issues. They need to have it blocked off or protected in some...

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the only set of the weekend that was a huge let down for me. I can't really think of a single redeeming quality about the set and it was actually the only show of the...

My group always comes with roughly the same menu each year as almost all of the ingredients have multiple uses so it makes shopping easier and also cooking out on the fields easier. We prepare as...

Never day parked so I don't know for sure, but when I was leaving the campgrounds last year on Monday I saw several cars still randomly parked in the day lots. There weren't any tow trucks going...

He actually did it on purpose to get all the "non fans" to go away. I forget his exact wording, but it was something along the lines of "ok, I'm going to play Somebody now so that I can get to my...

You pretty much answered your own question right there.

The answer is yes they would care you stupid piece of shit. Don't give people here shit because you're the dumbass idiot who started a thread only to ask something that is clearly stated in the...

Dude, let's be honest, you didn't look for shit! There's a stickied thread that's several pages long full of tips of what to pack for camping. There's also a thread called "The shade thread" ......

Well, my group will have some flags this year, but unfortunately, my buddy who I put in charge of buying the flags forgot what "blank" meant when we bought them and we now have two flags with designs...

If you live in SD then you should be pretty familiar with the flow of traffic and when things get bad on which roads ... and if you don't live in SD, then you need to give us more information about...

There's no "mad dash" as everyone get's put into a security line where they search your car. From there you get directed to whatever lot they are filling up at that time (you don't get any choice as...

ha! it's not bad math my friend, but it is overly complicated for this situation at the end of the day! I guess that's what I get for working in finance, haha. Long story short: bring shade if...

Yea ... that was my bad, I read it quick and it just sounded like you were saying it was over 2/3 smaller. Someone pointed it out before too, so apparently it was just me who didn't understand you,...

I usually head back at some point during the day, but the distance from your campsite to the venue makes a huge difference. Two years ago I was only about 10 min walking from the venue and I'd head...

If you paid a corporation like you said you did, you should be able to get your money back. It prolly won't be quick or easy, but you entered into a legal agreement with a company and they have an...

Just FYI for anyone who actually cares about math ... 10x10 canopy = 100sq ft of coverage while 8x8 = 64sq ft. In no world is that 2/3 less coverage (the 8x8 actually provides 56.25% as much shade...

You are definitely going to get flamed here, that's the nature of the beast, but don't worry about the festival itself. There is all sorts of people in all sorts of age brackets that go (and camp...

haha, oh wow, well then I guess we're all set! We didn't get in line until about 10pm last year and with us getting lot 7 I figured 5 and 8 musta filled up well before dark, but good to know! See...

I took a look before even asking but didn't see anything like that ... I'll take another look to see if it's buried in there somewhere. This isn't even applicable for this year as I need my car to...

I know they have changed the camping situation a little this year, but can anyone recall what time lot 8 filled up last year? My group and I have always gotten there on Thursday night in years past,...

Not to derail this amazing thread, but actual question here ... would a motorcycle be ok in car camping? It's not specifically listed as something that's not ok but I've also never seen anyone with...

bring your own you fucking idiot. I know there is a technical limit on what you can bring in, but I've never seen security counting beers EVER.

So, I hate people like you. Why would you expect...

Love Phoenix, can't wait for this set! They aren't your typical headliner, I guess, but just don't go if you don't like them. Why waste time bitching about it??

I'm also hoping for a PM as well...

You can leave but your car can't. Just wanted to clarify that for you. There's a shuttle for the beer / food runs to Ralphs.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever read. Was last year your first year going? They don't HAVE to book the same types of artists each year nor did they "force" a presale. The demand for tickets has...

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY

Only ever had a problem with noise / crazy "frat" guys last year. They weren't even our neighbors, technically, but were instead across the "street" from us. Absolutely blasting some stupid ass...

They also had the In-n-Out truck there last week .. two office parties this close together??? must mean .... fucking nothing, of course.

I'm not short, but shorter than both of you guys (6ft) and even I agree with you both! If there's someone taller than you in front of you, move to either side ... it's really not rocket science. ...

The only thing that really pisses me off is the pushing. Just because there is .02 inches of space in front of me doesn't mean that you and your 35 friends get to pass through there!! It's even...

Blind, haha ... definitely the same as it's been ... at least looks that way to me.

If you can handle it, camp. If you can't, hotel. If you don't understand what I mean by "handle it" then you should probably get a hotel too.

I love camping and wouldn't considering doing...

Awesome, thanks guys! Looks like 3x5 will be the go-to size. Not sure what we're gonna do for a design yet, but we're gonna be making our own now! Way cheaper compared to the $60+ for even just a...

Mike and Monsterface ... how big are your flags in those pictures? Trying to get a feel for how big we want ours to be ... seems like making one is the way to go though. I just got quotes from a...

Has anyone here ever used an online company to make a custom flag? I just googled this and of course came up with hundreds of companies, so I'm hoping that someone here has maybe used one of them...

The biggest tip I have for new people going:

Don't stress out as much as you are!!! I remember my first year I was reading all these posts and making sure I brought everything that was...

Interesting ... I didn't realize there was actually a time limit to how long you could be in there. One car in our group got held up at the check point and the 5 of us waiting actually did get told...

Same experience for me. I was shocked that they asked how we wanted to be parked rather than just doing it, but was incredibly happy to have 6 spots back to back rather than all in a row!! It was...

This is probably a really dumb question, but I just got my wristbands in the mail for this and there wasn't any info with them that answered what I'm wondering and I've never been to this fest before...

PF - thanks for the update!

I just emailed them and they are ridiculously good about getting back to people. Unfortunately they didn't have my camera I lost, but the customer service was awesome....

If you can, why not drive 3 cars in? It's going to be tight as hell with 6 people on one spot. at the very least, you should drive two cars so you have a decent enough amount of space to set up...

I've never been happier to finally get "called out" on a message board because you are doing all the work for me to make you look like a retarded asshole!

You're just bitching about things but...

hahaha, thanks for this awesome reply!!

If you "LOVED" the festival, why are you bitching so much? There's still some Eldorado spots you can get with all your money man ... but god forbid you let...

Whoops! Posted almost the exact same thing as you ... and my name is Steve too. Now I'm just weirded out, haha

You seriously typed this and thought it made sense? Your first year was last year and you're considering yourself a "loyal patron?" It doesn't matter that this was a year beforehand either. There...

wasn't trying to be rude ... just couldn't make the dots connect in my head as to why someone would be asking about the ability to switch weekend 2 stuff for weekend 1 stuff, when you had the...
