When do you guys recommend looking? This was the first year our camping group started considering in door options ... So I want to peak around for next year ...

I usually only end up catching bits of it, but most of what I've scene is pretty cool. If I have a lull in my schedule, I'd rather see cool acrobatics and fire throwing than just sit somewhere...

Good weather is relative. I thought last year's weekend 1 weather was absolutely amazing. But a lot of people think that having hot weather is what coachella is all about. I found the sandstorm...

I felt like the crowds were worse this year, mostly because I can usually do a "sampler platter" of acts when there's a lot of conflicts and dart inbetween stages pretty fast. This year it was soooo...

Pro:
--> The bathrooms were so amazing! I can't even believe how clean they were. This really makes the camping/festival experience so much nicer!
--> I felt like there was a lot more shade this...

It worked. But such bullshit that caused so many headaches.

totally. I got separated on Saturday and ended up having a blast wandering around on my own. people are pretty friendly, especially if you're somewhat attractive.

bastards caught my granola bars.
always hide them deep in your backpack or in your bra or something.

to cut down on food prices, I just find the biggest plate and eat half for lunch and wrap...

I'm just trying to look up a few of the acts we saw on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night after the Coachella acts were done. Besides the jazz band, there were also DJ's on the main stage going...

YESSS. A thousand times yes.

I think people who were unprepared were miserable, and I don't blame them. But it wasn't so cold that if people brought the right clothes, they couldn't get warm. ...

There were so many more bros than hipsters this year. Just a sea of bros and frat boys. When they divided up the entrance into women and men lines, I realized what a huge sausage-fest this year...

I have seen so many rank porta potties -- it's just unbelievable how people function. Shit smeared on the seat, shit smeared on the walls, shit all over the floor. It's a regular damn occurrence. ...

I really don't understand why people even get it. I guess you can hob-knob with fancy ass people. I loved hearing The Hives lead singer rip them a new one.

This was my best cell service ever. I had 3G almost the whole time (then again, going on the internet isn't really a priority ...) and my texts/calls went through pretty quickly unless there was a...

I think it depends. My car didn't even get searched. They just asked if I had an ice chest or alcohol. When I said no, they let me through. Pretty sick.

The rest of our group wasn't as lucky. ...

I posted this is another thread from my personal experience from weekend 1. Obviously there's no guarantees but I hope this helps:


1. They did not check to see if our car camping pass was...

Lotion, lube, anything. I bet you anything you can get it off, but it may or may not hurt like a bitch to your dumbass friend.

I felt like traffic control was really good this year. And I loved Friday weather! But at least you can whip out the standard bathing suits and shorts. Have fun!

It was so awesome to have a space set aside! It made it so much easier to keep our group together. You can't miss the waiting area.

1. They did not check to see if our car camping pass was attached to our wristband. In fact, I was the one who purchased the car camping and my boyfriend was the one in the car when they scanned it. ...

It depends what you like. Almost everyone I talked to was bitching about the cold weather, but if they had actually checked the forecast and brought a damn jacket, I think it would have been awesome....

Friday was so nice. It was stupidly easy to run from set to set. Definitely my favourite day of the whole weekend.

I danced more for The Hives than any other set the whole weekend. They played new stuff that I didn't know, but the energy level was so high it didn't matter.

I thought M. Ward was a snooze-fest. To be fair, I didn't stay to finish. There were too many other good things going on.

Also, I thought M83's sound was really bad. But I've read people all...

I really thought their set would be boring (even though I am a fan) ... but damn, I thought it was really good. Even friends of mine with me, who don't even like Bon Iver, thought his stuff was so...

This for sure happened to me. Glow stick in the face about half way through. The fuck?
89% chance it was a bro d-bag rolling for the first time.

really liked WU LYF and EMA.

1. Explosions in the Sky
2. Bon Iver
3. Radiohead
4. Jeff Mangum
5. The Hives

There are so many shows people are saying they liked on here that I didn't get to see! Breaks my heart and makes...

I'm surprised everyone really liked M83. I thought their sound was awful. Actually I thought all of Mojave's sound was awful unless you were super close. I really hope they fix that for you guys...

I posted before, but we still have these two left.
It's in the original packaging, I have the receipt, you get all the cool Coachella goodies, the wristband is unregistered -- all the good stuff....

Hello Everyone,

Due to the large size of our group, we had several people drop out at the last minute.

We have 3 Weekend 1 passes. However, one pass MUST be sold with car camping, and one pass...

You know, that's so strange because I actually did use the search function before I did it and couldn't find anything, which surprised me a lot. Since then I have found this thread...

Baby powder is your friend. Keep that shit on you and rub a little on possible chaffing areas periodically.

Agreed!

Last year was pretty hot (most days reached 100). This year, the 10 day forecast already has Friday and Saturday at 80 and 83, respectively. This makes me very happy. 20 degrees cooler than last...

Hey Coachella Friends,
I'm looking to buy a car companion parking pass. Does anyone have an extra they are willing to sell? PM or message here.
Thanks,
Ellyn

Thanks for all the advice. We only have 3 cars, so it shouldn't be too bad. I just would really hate to get stuck with half of us at the top of the row and the other car at the bottom. That would be...

Oy! Why does this need to be so difficult?! I'm letting friends of mine use our car companion pass because I don't need it anymore. Now I'm concerned that can't use it at all because it's attached...

what makes you know think real scalpers did not buy tickets last year? I know one scalper who does it for a living and he definitely did. there are people who work this event every year. hopefully...

hahahaha

but yeah this sucks. 30 mins in.

Yeah you can't really predict that the sort of thing. It would be pretty ironic if we all went to the earlier one for the favorable weather and the next weekend was way cooler. Knowing my luck,...

I'm totally with you. music > fashion. nevertheless, like 60% of coachella's female goers meticulously plan their outfits before attending. it's just one big fashion show to them. they're not...

nuuuu :C that sucks.

^^^^^ HAH


sooo what were you wearing?

As a woman, I've always thought, "Oh I can get to the front no problem." Maybe getting older has made me less of a bitch, but I just can't bring myself to cheat my way around people anymore. And...

eeeeeeeeeeeeep don't tease me.

Cold War Kids
The Kills
Aquabats (I heard it was awesome -- wish I had gone)
Cut Copy
Tallest Man
The New Pornographers
Warpaint
Boys Noize

But I'm so happy with everything I saw. I just...

yeah he sounded just like Kid Rock (aka fail). they sound a lot better on the album.

I think the one thing people have to realize is when they run their cars, the emissions are going right back into their tents/canopies, which is really bad for you. We brought a fan that we put at...

someone with a 38 car caravan has a lot more friends than I do.
