Search:

Scanners were working and people were getting in. The line I was in only had one person searching people though.

Water, yes. Food...I guess everyone finished theirs in line.

Just be thankful they figured out the 'line' situation Day 2. Almost got trampled trying to get in during the Pete Tong set before they...

At the Sahara

Met him last year in VIP, he was happy to take pictures with everybody.

This year, got a photo of Chris Pine flipping me off in mainstage beer garden. A friend pointed out Whitney Port who I...

The only redeeming thing about this set was leaving to catch Beardyman in the dome.

It's really not that bad. But instead of avoiding the north-south traffic you gotta think about the east-west traffic too. Esp between the south stages and perry's.

fuckin magnets

That was a great show

Look up 'Pyogenic granuloma'. That's probably what you have. Common after pinching injuries. And will bleed like stink when you mess with them. Only definitive cure is to have someone cut the whole...

I'm sure everyone in this thread will be thrilled to hear about zithromax and potentially lethal heart arrhythmias that's been in the news lately.

The Peltors work great for babies and toddlers.

Wow that's a terrible experience. What usually works for me for sinus stuff is antibiotics first for the infection, but treating the symptoms requires 1) sudafed (or some form of phenylephrine) to...

After seeing the lineup, I just bought tickets.

Set times aren't that different from other festivals, starts around noon with 45min-1hr sets and wraps up around 11 or 12 if I remember correctly....

Sorry Courtney, I thought this thread died awhile ago.

You have muscles in the roof of your mouth and all the way back to the uvula. They are probably the culprit for your discomfort. Unless you...

That doesn't sound like it's related to your visual acuity, and it being only one eye, you really should see an ophthalmologist and have your eye checked out.

Dosage of antibiotics can vary and depend on the underlying problem and its severity. It usually is a good idea to take the full course, the idea being that if all the bacteria infecting you aren't...

That was a great year, I split the Kanye and NIN sets too. Sprinting across Grant Park was not alot of fun.

There was a bar serving liquor in the beer garden near the sahara/gobi, most drinks about $10 each.

There's hardly ever a line. Get your merch early and stash it.

At least for the past few years. Totally worth it though.

Anyone know why The Weeknd cancelled?

From what I've heard, they essentially sell out before they open every day. They give one person in line a sign that's like the "last guaranteed bbq" or something. It's all apparently worth it. Hope...

If I'm not mistaken you have to get there hours before they open to get barbecue and wait in line. Like they sell beer and concessions for the people waiting 2-3+ hours in line type of line. But I've...

There were plenty of places to lock bikes up by the entrance last year.

double true

Someone remind Rakim not to break his foot again this year.

I prefer Mike Judge's use of "utilize" in Idiocracy.

QFT

That would be Hard Target.

Seconded

Having done this before, yes, the PIP is worth it. But it still ain't Coachella, even though they had Public Enemy. And Lykke Li.

Keep in mind that at Lolla you get separate, elevated seating for watching the stages, golf cart transportation along Lakeshore, and, most importantly, UNLIMITED BOOZE.

Shuttle/camping entrance searches were definitely more intense this year. Full on backpack search, even tossed sealed packets of advil. Body pat downs weren't too bad. Saw a kid get arrested coming...

Access to the VIP entrance was not routinely available for those VIP that took the shuttles since some security wouldn't let you walk from the shuttles to the VIP entrance.

Totally agree with the...

High five and I'll buy you a beer. I'll be the bald asian guy going crazy at the Wild Flag set.

Can't say that I know her at all, but I meet plenty of crazies in my line of work. Unfortunately part of my job is having to keep the crazies happy with the way they look. Good luck with your elbow.

Looking good, Courtney! Looks like it will heal well. The reddish color will be with you for a few weeks, then it turns brownish for a few months and then fades to white. Just make sure you don't...

What he really means to say is hypertrophic scar, not keloid.

Keloids are fairly uncommon, uncontrolled growth of a scar beyond the edges of the original injury/incision. So that picture of Kuato...

I've taken my boys (now 3 and 7) to lolla and ACL mult times, but never to coachella. I save that trip for myself. Hopefully some of this will be helpful:

1) umbrella stroller is key. we used a...

Again with the vaseline thing, Courtney :)

Aquaphor is water based and isn't as goopy as vaseline.

Bodyglide is da bomb

Chems had video malfunctions with the big screen and were delayed 40 minutes.

Coachella is the one festival of the year that I go without my family. I take the kids to Lolla and ACL every year and have a good time too, but it's a different experience. Don't feel guilty, enjoy...

No one gave me any hassle for having beer on the shuttle last year.

They closed with Paranoid Android at the Houston show, as well as adding These Are My Twisted Words to the setlist.

Tom-

Could be tendinitis, joint inflammation, or a ligament tear. Unless you have gout or some other joint related problem in case you didn't mention it.

The triceps muscle inserts/attaches at...

Thanks for the pics.

As best as I can tell I wouldn't support a fungal diagnosis...especially if it is both your thumb and your toes. It's pretty rare to have a fungal infection on the...

A hallmark of fungal infections in the nails is increased thickness of the nail itself, but that is over time, so if it just popped up it may not show that sign. In general, the chances that you have...

I've actually had to use leeches a few times for my patients, they've saved several body parts due to injury (eg. nearly severed ear) or reconstructive surgery (eg. free flaps).

Fun fact: keep...
