I heard you like blogs so I figured I'd blog about blogging on my blog

I've done the shuttle the past few years and it is awesome. Never seen it be a clusterfuck. They have an enormous amount of buses and they just keep them moving, constantly filling up and getting...

IS THAT DOG EATING AN AVOCADO? That dog LOVES avocados!

I hope so. I love the shuttles but that double checkpoint shit last year sucked.

For what it's worth, I was sent the wrong shuttle pass and called Valley Music Travel a couple days ago. They told me that on day 1 you can use any shuttle pass to get to the festival from any stop...

Doesn't feel like Coachella without triple digits.

FYI, I was sent the wrong shuttle pass and called Valley Music Travel a couple days ago. They told me that on day 1 you can use any shuttle pass to get to the festival from any stop and they will...

WHAP WHAP WHAP HWAP

Surprise last minute Jack Johnson add to headline friday, book it

In my opinion, not worth it at all unless you REALLY care about not using the porta-potties.

Used to be a "maybe if you have cash to burn" back when VIP had the only full bar, but now that there's...

I bet 95% of the "narcs" being discussed in this thread are regular folk that are really bad at trying to buy drugs.

Weekend 1 there was some huge dude wandering around in the Sahara blatantly...

Of course I do. I'm Paul Tollet, and we'll leave the light on for you.

Wait, no, that's Tom Bodett. Shit, I'm the wrong guy.

Hi this is Paul Tollet, Paulie T to my friends. Thanks so much for your valuable input and that novel you posted there. I'm totally going to read it, I swear. Right after I take a swim in my diamond...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say yes

Finally got through, on a different computer than I started on, while the one I was initially trying with is still waiting in line. So weird.

Also, I'm pretty sure the "Weekend 1 is about to sell...

Ugh, this is killing me.

Except last year didn't have the "oh, you're probably not getting tickets, go ahead and panic" message.

I logged in like right at 10 and it was already saying weekend one tickets were going to sell out before I made it out of the waiting room. Hard to believe.

I hope that's true. While I didn't have any real trouble with the yellow jackets working the shuttle stop, they were doing very thorough searches (yes, I did have my balls cupped) and it slowed down...

If it lets them sell enough tickets to keep upgrading the fields and signing major acts, and lets more people be at Coachella without it being the overcrowded clusterfuck it was in 2010 then I'm all...

Another 30+ guy here. I think a lot of the Coachella "vets" probably are older at this point, considering how long it's been going on. I had kind of a Coachella mid-life crisis a couple years ago...

Basically this. Although it kinda sucks to have to move just because a group of idiots showed up near you, I've learned that when my annoyance level is higher than how much fun I'm having, it's time...

Guy 1: Wait, who's that on stage?
Guy 2: That's Tupac, dude!
Guy 1: I thought he was dead...who am I thinking of? Isn't he dead?
Guy 2: Yeah, he's dead.
Guy 1: You just fucking said he was on...

I'm here and HOLY SHIT YOU SHOULD SEE THE WIND

it's almost a light breeze. Almost.

I'm here and OH MY GOD THE WIND

...is non-existent. Maybe it'll pick up tonight, but right now, it's beautiful here. A little overcast and humid, that's all.

better get to sawing that hand off, it's your only real solution

These are great, thanks!

All of them, all of the bands

That's how Prince pronounced it. Are you going to argue with Prince?

Well, you've sufficiently scared me enough to drive up this afternoon instead of tonight in the heavy winds.

(Or maybe I just wanted to leave earlier and found a convenient excuse ;) )

Sweet, lets have a thunderstorm with 60 mph winds followed by an earthquake on Friday the 13th. END OF THE WORLD AT COACHELLA, what better way to go

If you're just one guy and not a huge chain of idiots holding hands, and you're relatively polite about it (don't just bullrush through the crowd like an asshole), you can get pretty close to any...

Tomorrow is going to be only a little drizzle (fo rizzle). The winds tonight may be a little shitty though. I'm going to drive up a little earlier than I was planning to get ahead of that.

Good thing you posted this, now I can just follow you around creepily from set to set. I'll be the big sweaty guy with no shirt on standing uncomfortably close up behind you. Look forward to...

Only person I can remember just crushing the curfew was Prince. He did not give a single fuck. He just kept coming back out going "They tell me I have to leave now Co-a-chella. But can I play just...

"April is not usually a very stormy month for California, especially in the south. April is usually the transitioning time between the winter storms and the warmer, more tranquil weather of summer,"...

Thanks to google maps street view I have been able to identify the exact spot where I'll miss a turn due to wind and darkness, hit the spot where there's no guardrail, catch this rock formation like...

Like I said, I may take the long way this year, I'm in SD as well. Normal route is 5 -> 15 -> 79 -> 371 -> 74 ->111 but:

that bullshit right there will be the...

The worst was 2010 because of how overcrowded it was. It took FOREVER to get anywhere and it was super frustrating since you had to push through a crowd all the time.

Lotta work still to do, hell I'll probably have to do work from the hotel room in Indio on Friday morning before I get to the grounds. But driving up Thursday night at some point. Maybe even...

ffffffffffff I'm driving up Thursday night. The wind on that twisty fucking mountain road is going to be fun :eek:

This might be the only year I choose to take the long way in.

walk over to the sahara tent

I'm the opposite of this, unless it's a band that's a major favorite of mine I do a lot of ADD-riddled jumping from set to set. Watch 12 minutes of a set and be like "I WONDER WHAT"S UP IN THE...

Hey, he did a pretty good set last year. I'm not a huge fan of his stuff but he had a lot of energy at a shit timeslot on the main stage -- it was like a thousand degrees out and he put a lot into...

Jack Johnson is the only headlining set I've ever seen where people were actively fleeing the main stage like it was on fire. I don't think it helped any that he came on right after the Verve who...

Yeah, solo this year after a friend had to back out. I've done it solo a couple times before, gone with two different girls, gone with a group of friends. It's all good. Solo, with friends, with a...

It feels like every year the forecast is for mid-70's low 80's and then I get there and it is hot as hell.

I hope it ends up warmer than the forecast is showing, it doesn't feel like Coachella to...

Hundred per day, but I dump a chunk of money on merch.

I'm shuttle pass + wristband and just got my notification.
