Bring your camping pass

My friend and I have a car camping spot. The rest of our group dropped out so we're looking to share with one or two more people who want to hang out, party, and share some of the costs. We're...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cee Lo in 2011. That set was embarrassing.

I've always found that [for men] the shower line gets pretty short around 12 or 1 pm. I always hop in line around that time and wait maybe 15 or 20 minutes, then spend 3 minutes showering and I feel...

I think that the main reason people "battle" over this is because they're looking for something to do while waiting for the festival to actually happen. Ultimately it hardly matters. Weekend 1,...

Paradisco, I just PM'ed you, please respond. I'm definitely interested. thanks!

I need to trade my Weekend 2 wristband and car camping for Weekend 1 wristband and car camping. I'm in San Diego and would be open to meeting anywhere in SoCal to make the trade. PM me or email me...

I've been going to Coachella since 2003. I've camped every year except for 2005 and 2009, when we went with a hotel. To echo what everyone has been saying, the upside of a hotel is obvious -- you...

If this ever came up for me I would be strongly tempted to tell my boss to "Take this job and...efficiently re-staff it!" But I have a pretty good job and I'm fairly spineless, so I'd probably just...

I've been going every year since 2003. What's interesting is that my memories the different years definitely do not all bleed together -- each year has a distinct feel, and when I think about a...

It's so fashionable to dislike Green Day just because they haven't done any good music in about 15 years, but they do still put on a solid live show. Even so, I'm glad they won't be at Coachella...

A whole lot.

Still, I think most of the people who bought tickets during the pre-sale who are bitching right now are just upset because they're not getting Daft Punk, the Rolling Stones, or...

Even when they're "off" it's still an interesting show. The nice thing about Modest Mouse is that they're sort of an artsy band that has achieved pop status, so they get billed high on the lineup...

As much as I like them, I'm very surprised to see them at headliner status.

fine.

They will draw the biggest crowd of any headliner this year, and whether people like it or not they are the biggest name on the lineup. That said, I'm thinking that some other big headliner fell...

One of the really fun things about seeing Lou reed live is that you really cannot predict what he will play. He's one of those old legends where you get what he chooses to give you and that's it. ...

The headliners definitely lack the "wow factor," but at least of the four headliners three of them are bands that I want to see (I could live without RHCP again). The rest of the lineup is pretty...

Aside from the fairly low-key headliners (and I agree with the criticism of RHCP, I'm guessing someone big dropped out and they had to fill that spot at the last minute), this is a pretty good...

Do I need to bring a mat?

Anyone know if wristbands and camping passes are shipping separately? I've received two emails with two separate tracking numbers and different delivery dates, and I only ordered one fest pass and...

This is going to be my first Singlechella since 2005. Start lining up now, ladies.

Us boardies are just more die-hard than most. I go through it every year -- I tell my friends to set aside some cash in December, I give them a heads up about when tickets go on sale and they all...

Got my Coachella 1 pass/car camping. Really want to do both, but my job can be sort of demanding so it's too early to know whether I'll be able to drop out of life for two four-day weekends in row,...

Every day at Coachella is 4/20.

Definitely camp. And I'm assuming that camping passes will be available on Friday, but that's only based on the fact that they were available when layaway tickets first went up last year.

A lot of people have been floating the idea that bands will play surrounding cities in the days between the two Coachellas (that phrase is still weird to me), but what about the ban on playing in...

That was definitely not the case for all layaway buyers, as I bought on layaway and got the whole package. And anyway, I expect that 2012 will likely sell out on layaway (assuming they do layaway...

THANK YOU. I was going to post this exact comment myself.

And seriously, if you're going to make fun of stuff, at least be funny. As far as comedy writing goes, this article is totally...

We ran our engine for about 10 minutes each day to recharge after using the speakers to listen to music all morning, and while we were at it, we enjoyed some AC. If it bothered anyone, no one said...

Been going since 2003, and for me it's a tough choice between 2007 and 2010. I think 2011 has an unfair advantage since it's the only one that pretty much everyone voting attended.

I should add...

Anyone have/find a good video of "Big Exit"? I couldn't find one on YouTube, but I really thought this song was the highlight of an amazing set.

I think tracking down a girl from Coachella is sort of like solving a crime. If you don't have any leads within the first 48 hours, your odds of figuring it out go down exponentially.

It's a little unfair that you're being protective of your daughter by not showing her face, but you're sharing a picture of a complete stranger with all of us without his consent.

In terms of organization for an event this size, the festival was nearly perfect this year. It's hard to ask for improvements without getting nitpicky or unrealistic.

I don't think Coachella will be doing this any time soon, but I wouldn't oppose it at all if they did.

I actually think some people might unfairly toss me into the fratbro category just because I work out and like beerpong.

I have both allergies and asthma, and I've been to seven Coachellas. The suggestion that I shouldn't be there sort of bothers me and is really uninformed. But I agree that trying to stop smokers...

Elvis Costello
Simon & Garfunkel
Neil Young
Donovan
Elton John

Was it okay that PJ Harvey wore feathers?

I guess there were more kids than in previous years, but I wouldn't say it's anywhere close to becoming a "family event." Kids under 16 probably make up, like, 1-2% of the festival attendance.

What's interesting about the captain's hat is that everyone seemed to have the exact same hat, with the same crest on it. Is there literally only one captain's hat available on the costume hat...

If you don't buy on layaway for 2012, you're taking a risk. In fact, if you don't buy early on layaway, you're taking a risk. Layaway is the new "on sale."

I would love four days. Sure, it'd be more difficult in almost every way, but it'd also be better in one very significant way: more Coachella. I don't see it happening, though.

I'm really glad people are talking about this. She was SO good. My only complaint is that she didn't do an encore.

When I was in college they used to bring in mounted police to regulate the crowds on Halloween (I went to UCSB). One year the cops decided to hold a meeting in our driveway and their horses crapped...

Kind of cool to see the horses trotting around, but seriously, I narrowly avoided stepping barefoot into a big pile of horse turd several times.

I was hoping you'd remeber that. Thanks for being nice, and good luck with your new romance!

On Monday morning I was all congested and groggy and I thought to myself, "Am I sick, or am I just really exhausted with allergies?" Turns out I'm sick. Better to be sick after Coachella than...

Anybody see the really sexy girl who was walking around the campgrounds in a bikini, holding up a sign asking for mushrooms while hoola hooping? Pretty cool.
