I didn't know much about them but listened to some Youtube clips and decided that I would either really love it, or find it highly annoying. It's some original shit, you can't deny that. I was...

I appreciate their energy and I like the music, but I ended up walking. I just can't get into the vocals.

I was back near the sound booth and was really disappointed with the sound. I had my earplugs ready to go. Then they started playing and my wife and I looked at each other and wondered allowed if...

The Shadow set was great, although I was really surprised that there was barely anyone there. The tent wasn't even close to half full. I'm also a little surprised that when he was talking about his...

I liked the set and I'm also in the camp of wanting to see more stuff from the Bends-Insomniac era. Especially when you see them perform the older songs. You can tell they really love to play the...

We came back to our camp and saw 2 mounted police and 3 yellow shirts talking to a guy a few camps over. He didn't have a wrist band and they walked him out. I also saw more than a few people on...

NARC! See that's the thing, it's hard to say who's a NARC. Just because someone is really awkward and asking in a strange way doesn't mean they're a cop. We had 3 people walk into our site and ask...

We had some frat boy camps around us. Lots of bad rapping along to their ipod and lots of comments about how they should have less "classic rock" at Coachella. They were fairly harmless and at...

Don't these idiots go through ANY training before the festival? After reading about all the problems with metal tent stakes not being allowed in for Weekend 1, I bought some plastic ones. The guy...

An eazy up blew onto our tent Sunday night during the winds. I got out of my tent and collapsed it and set it on the ground and went back to sleep. When I got up in the morning I checked with all...

Maybe GV will start renting shade structures next year for 3000 since we might not be allowed to build our own anymore.

Hopefully they sort things out for weekend 2.

The thread on security has stories of peoples metal stakes being taken. Was this happening a lot? Did that account for some structures blowing away?

I got 6" bungees. Better to have more than you need in case your tarp comes up a little short. You can always wrap the extra around the pvc. My hut has 3 sections so I have 3 4' bungees. You need...

You arrived around 2 on Friday or Thursday?

Ok cool. Kind of a bummer, but I guess they don't have a choice? It would be nice to have a little more separation between the stages. Looking forward to weekend 2.

I was there in 2010 but not last year. They expanded the grounds last year right? I read in a thread somewhere that they added 8 football fields worth of extra space. Does this mean the stages are...

Thanks. It's super easy to build and cost me around $100 to buy everything. It's called a Monkeyhut. It offers great shade and stands up to really high hinds without any problems. Its design is...

This is my Burning Man shade structure. I was thinking of setting this up. I'm just wondering about safety. I've read about people getting their camps robbed. I'm wondering if a nice shade...

I asked this earlier and was flamed for daring to bring a cushion to sit on. I'll be bringing one this year I think. They offer great back support for mid day relaxing in the shade. I can't...

I'd hate to be the rat in question after that ordeal. did he survive?

Are people really winning anything? is there a list somewhere of what they've given away?

Bumping to see if we might have some decent beer selection this year since they are expanding the bars.

Yeah, because being on your feet for 14 hours in blistering heat is the only way to experience a festival properly? Is this your first year at Coachella? Because when I go, lots of people are...

No, it's not about the grass. I have a bad back and it offers nice back support. You can sit and actually lean back a bit, which you can't do if you're just sitting on your arse. When I'm at a...

Will probably register mine closer to the date when I know for sure whether I can go or if I have to sell it. I'm glad to hear you can turn the facebook thing off. As far as tracking, I'm not sure...

I know we can't bring chairs in, but what about these things? I can't imagine they'd be a problem, but I don't recall seeing anyone using them the last few years either. It would definitely beat...

Holy cow. I finally gave in and got camping passes to avoid the...

This is exactly what I don't like. And it's happening at Burning Man as well. The Rave culture is moving in and it's a pretty annoying group of people as far as I'm concerned. Generally oblivious...

Were there actually fake tickets? I saw people at the gate with the print-out version of tickets being told they had already been used. You're just rolling the dice if you buy one of them from...

has anyone brought in these?

I think to be considered a chair, it would have legs no? ...

Man, tell me about it. I'm watching Thom Yorke and there are 3 guys behind me trying to locate a friend. They were on a walkie talkie saying "SEAN, SEAN.... SEAN WE'RE BETWEEN THE LEFT AND CENTER...

It was this kind of stuff that pissed me off. They say no outside food, but then at the backpack search station, I see backpacks full of food that they wave right through.

Well a lot of his jokes were borrowed from other places, but it was cool to hear him talk. I mean, "upperdecker" has been around forever and it's even in movies now. I had clips on youtube, but...

hmm. verizon seemed to be working fine as far as I could tell.

It's kinda funny, I was unloading my bag today, the one that went through 8 bag checks, and I just pulled a big pocket knife out of one of the side pockets. Must have been in there from a camping...

I had a short 30 second clip of John Water's performance on my youtube account and just received a "copyright infringement" warning from youtube from a place called Filecard Inc, which is apparently...

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious? I had the exact opposite experience. Mainly in the evenings. Maybe past 6pm they stopped emptying trashcans or something. I wandered around with...

That would be great, but 20,000 tickets is 6 million dollars, give or take. I don't think they're in any hurry to drop 6 million dollars now that they know they can get it.

How about just putting them in the trashcan like civilized human beings.

I didn't see Hotshot or the Land Sharks anywhere. They both sounded pretty cool. The Hurakan was WAYYY better at Burning Man last year. The thing was a vortex of fire. Not sure what was going on....

I think another issue is that if they are going to let this many people in, they just need a bigger space. When the crowds are so big that you can't get close to the stage, you end up hearing the...

You are correct sir. Ok, Muse was actually pretty good. I was surprised.

Nice thanks guys. Here's a clip of "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses"

I thought his show tonight was really great, particularly the last 2 songs in his encore. Can anyone help me out with song titles or are these new?

Patton's crowdsurf was awesome. I was up front so I couldn't really see how big the crowd was, but I'm hoping they had a big turnout. FNM and Them Crooked Vultures were probably my favs.

As for...

Fav- Faith No More, The Crooked Vultures, Thom Yorke

Definitely most disappointed with the Gorillaz. I'm a big fan, but I think I'll stick with the CD's.

Goddamn Coachella goers are a filthy fucking bunch. I've never seen so much garbage left by lazy motherfuckers. Of course it might help to have more than 10 small trashcans available for 50,000...

Wow, I didn't know they sold out. I guess that explains why the extra ticket I put on ebay is at $600 right now. I was just hoping for face value.

Yes, very true. Maybe I'm too big a fan to be unbiased when I think about them touring. When it comes down to it, promoters are all about cash. I just have to think that if the NY and SF shows...
