Even with the dust storm, I felt fine after weekend 1, but two days after weekend 2 my nose is starting to run and I keep sneezing :( My commute is gonna be FUN tomorrow...

That place was awesome :) Free ice cream, air conditioning, and it was a surprisingly peaceful place to relax in between bands.

I went both weekends and didn't particularly notice any improvements made for weekend 2, but there were definitely new problems with security. Coming in on the purple path I got searched two separate...

I went into the Sahara this Saturday, and there wasn't even any dead grass in there anymore, it was all just sand and dirt :nono

3 is Conversion on the Way to Damascus

Good
-Getting through the security check only took a few minutes
-Parking lot attendants this year knew how to do their jobs
-The wooden ADA path
-The cat merch
-This year's art
-The large...

The Stone Roses and How to Destroy Angels :nono

-Having so many bands on the second and third lines on Saturday conflict that I can't see all the ones I want, even going both weekends
-Having to watch Red Hot Chili Peppers' set because there's...

When I saw the headliners I was like

The lineup looks fucking awesome! Sure, Sunday looks a little weak, but that's only because Friday and Saturday are so stacked. I never thought I'd be able to see Blur, the Stone Roses, and Nick Cave...

Pretty excited for this, just hope they don't get overwhelmed by the sound from neighboring stages. Sunset or night, either way it's gonna be epic :thu

Really excited to see them play again, haven't seen them live since '03 :)

Two years later and the conversation still sounds the same...

This may or may not become more common, depending on the costs and tech. It can take a long time to design/program, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if such shows were pretty expensive. Also, I'm not...

Just had some delicious Kahlua and orange cupcakes. Tasty :)

Finally decided to go with the Homewood Suites La Quinta for one weekend and the Marriott Shadow Ridge the other, ~$300/night for both. I feel like I'm wasting money, but since I can afford it and...

Guess I'll join in. 4'11", 167 pounds, hoping to get down to around 145 for next year. I've succeeding in doing this before, but since transferring to UCLA my four hour round trip commute has cut my...

There used to be a wider variety of genres played by the bands on the undercard, and now they're mostly this. Definitely needs more hard rock/alternative.

So... :bump Anyone going to see her tour with The Grand Theft Orchestra? Just got my tickets for the Roxy show in the mail.

Such a good set. Never seen them play before, so finally hearing Come Together live was awesome.

Thanks for collecting these all here! Though I have to say, I was right next to the kid in the yellow poncho, and I felt kinda sorry for him. His mom was camping out for Pulp most of the day, but the...

Even one token one would be nice... Although ATR and Refused were nice, there was definately a lack of the heavier stuff this year.

Still looking... Sucks that the Valley Music Travel packages are using all the nicer hotels I've stayed at in the past :nono it didn't used to be this hard to find a decent place

December 6

Births:
1945 – Shekhar Kapur, Indian filmmaker
1950 – Joe Hisaishi, Japanese composer
1955 – Rick Buckler, British drummer (The Jam)
1956 – Peter Buck, American guitarist (R.E.M.)...

This would be awesome!

Dear crazy loud bus lady,

Although I was initially intrigued by your cellphone conversation, and how dexterously you shifted your tiny, tiny phone from mouth to ear and back again, after I...

Me as well. Just gotta get my hotels sorted and I'm good to go.

I know about the normal pit wristbands, I don't mind lining up early to get one, but yeah, in the past there've been venue staff walking up and down the line before shows, selling VIP wristbands that...

Oh, if only. I'm still regretting only catching half his set in 2008.

1. Madness
2. Pulp
3. Beats Antique
4. Gaslamp Killer
5. Housse de Racket

1. Pulp
2. Buzzcocks
3. Fitz and the Tantrums
4. The Hives
5. James

Does anyone know if the Wiltern is still doing that VIP wristband crap? In other words, will I be stuck behind people who show up at the last minute and pay $20 or whatever to get let in first? I'm...

I think that the Sahara lineup may have partially contributed to the absence of assholes elsewhere, but there were still plenty of douchebags roaming around. The worst was on Sunday when Justice was...

The EMTs I met were pretty awesome. After I bashed my chin on the rail during Buzzcocks and bit through my lip, they were able to verify I didn't need stitches and got me cleaned up fast enough that...
