Check! I've been every day, every year. Coachella has literally been the sole constant in my life since I was 18 years old.

I always wondered how many of us there are. We should have a group hug...

This is the happiest, best surprise of all.

S-I-N-G-ing to me

Huh. Were that true, I'd be kinda into it, and still want to hang out with this person to experience such dark subtlety all weekend.

Edit: I forgot to quote. Whatever, I'm here two days a year....

Don't you worry, goose. You're gonna have the best time of your life. Are you camping? Is this your first year? Message me if you really want to grab that beer, and I'd be glad to spin you off in the...

Hey buddy, this is actually making me kinda sad. If you're trolling, [fart sound], but if you're not, and you're just a sweet, earnest person who's as excited as the rest of us, you'll have no...

I don't want to travel all the way to Mexico to see Underworld, but I will. UW is my favorite, and they are literally the last living group I want to see and never have. (I was dying of food...

Just want to repeat that back. If that is actually, really the story, I'm thoroughly fascinated and amused.

This just adds to the beauty of seeing that twat in the dumb hat get angrily confronted...

I've been to Coachella every day of every year since the beginning. I've moved away from So Cal and it's looking like I can't afford to come back for 2013. It's gonna suck.

BUT

if Underworld...

I've been working on my untouchable cynicism for years. YEARS. But the first lick of "Carrot Flowers", my tears exploded from some well in my body I haven't heard from in a very long time. I had...

His was the best set at OSL, and a happy accidental discovery for me. Do you guys remember how crazy fun the King Khan crowd was two years ago? This would be that. Ty Segall 2012, please.

God, Rosanna Arquette was unbearable.

Also, I called him "Mr. G".

In my experience, it gets you the once in a lifetime opportunity to get spun out of your head on X and high five Warren G.

so extremely good.

My mushrooms made me really confused. For the first two songs I was creeped out by the furniture, until I realized that she was what I had thought was a giant armchair.

To be fair, I was pretty...

I watched Hot Shot the Robot talk with an utterly amazed four year old girl, and I think he tucked his robodick away while he did it. High five, Hot Shot!

Greatest story yet

Oh god, I WISH I had seen that on the dudes that were poking around our camp. Thank you for the info, though. I didn't realize then that they had any kind of individual identifiers to set them apart...

Aha!

If only the boy in the purple Holy Fuck shirt had been so easy to find.

Good call, thank you. I have 15 emails to send tomorrow.

Yeah well, I think Coachella is a little like giving birth... you won't remember how it hurt, because all you will remember is that it was beautiful. :)

(And then you will be fooled into doing it...

OMG OMG OMG I want to ask how you know, but I maybe don't want to know how you know

I added this elsewhere, but I am retelling it here for obvious reasons...

I was laying on the ground in our campsite on Saturday afternoon with a bunch of empty chairs around me, so it must have...

By the way, I'm really sorry about your cars, guys. I'm also really questioning the caliber of people who were searching cars, if those were in fact any of the same people who I spooked trying to rob...

I was laying on the ground in our campsite on Saturday afternoon with a bunch of empty chairs around me, so it must have looked like no one was there. I heard rustling around one of the tents, and...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody better tell the unicorn that he's gonna wake up with that pretty unicorn head bloodied in his bed when I find him.

If anybody has pics of the scissors hanging up, we'd...

The balloons were by a group called Airspace from NYC... they were tethered to the field by a person with a C-clamp, and they were moving with the direction of the desert wind! So cool! I got to hold...

Exactly what I was thinking.

This makes me feel sick

"The World's First Cartoon Band!" What the hell happened?

I think all of this happened because Damon Albarn's enormous ego couldn't and wouldn't hide behind any more screens or cartoons.

I have the full-on Coachella flu, but when that's gone, the long cycle begins again. :(

Dear Goldenvoice,

Pls make it moar smalled

Love,
everyone

They were my favorite set of the weekend, by far. They absolutely killed it. I know he was humbled by the experience of having tens of thousands of people dance their asses off for him, but he was SO...

Those people found their way directly in front of me, pinkies in the air, for nearly every single set I saw all weekend. This leads me to two conclusions: they all have excellent taste (heh), and PUT...

QFT.

Jonsi (ughhhhhhh)
John Waters
Bad Lieutenant
Lance Rock

sweet jesus. I really wish I would have skipped Gorillaz for this.

This is exactly how I feel. I have been to every Coachella ever, and it's fair to say that I'm not just a casual festival-goer. This is the highlight of my year, and something I look forward to for...

TRUE

YES. The CSC event security, NOT the WET volunteers. Those guys were so great. And friendly, and helpful... I had a question about charging stations inside the festival, and one of the WET volunteers...

Thanks for being on the case, everyone. I know exactly who you are talking about, since their roller rink riverdancing ended right outside our tent. MURDAH

Oh excellent, I've been waiting for six years to tell you what a douchebag I think you are. Thanks for opening that window for me, you self-righteous retard. You have no idea what you look like (A:...

Dear whoever stole our giant scissors and Sharpie from the art studios,

We worked for a solid week to make an 8 foot tall pair of scissors and 6 foot tall papier mache Sharpie to decorate our zine...

I saw this happen. We were in the first line of tents near the roller rink, and we came out to see about the commotion. I saw the kid get tackled, and I saw them take something from him and haul ass...

I absolutely agree with this. It's like we just saw the man behind the curtain, and now the power and intrigue of what they were doing with the cartoons is just gone.

No. People were being straight up mean to each other out there all weekend. We had stuff stolen, we saw violence, my friend was called a ******, and people generally wouldn't make eye contact or...

Wrong. They oversold by god knows how many because of a massive oops in ticketing. Fire marshal calls capacity, so the numbers we hear may be for the benefit of saving face. I had no idea how crazy...
