RIP FRESNOCHELLA 2008

[suprefan]

Wooooooooooooooooooooot!

[Trassin]

Wooooooooooooooooooooot!

Exactly!

[suprefan]

Thanks Captain obvious.

[bmack86]

Is that a solid confirm? Seems like that's just them stating coachella, and it could be an assumption.

[matsuolost]

Thanks Captain obvious.

why do you always have to be such a jerk?

[Trassin]

I would like to think that even a small local paper such as that confirms things before writing about them. The city of Indio actually has a "Special Events" department which would make it a very simple thing to do.

Just found a date listing for it, also from The Desert Sun's web page

April 25, 26, and 27th, 2008!

Good work!

Sweet, my hotel reservations can remain the same.

[tessalasset]

Wow, they just announce it earlier and earlier each year.

If these are the true dates, which I don't doubt, heads up you ticket price whiners: Start saving up now! A couple bucks a day and you'll be good in no time. Out of state travelers, better make that like 5 or 10 bucks a day.

[rage patton]

That is awesome! I am excited!
I have already started saving money. Im planning on presale for next year too.

[All That I Am]

I'm gonna call and reserve my hotel as soon as i sober up!

[All That I Am]

...and although I have no official sources i'm gonna go ahead and confirm Perry Ferrel for a performance in 2008, 2009, 2010.

[bartelby]

FUCK YEAH

[All That I Am]

I got my rooms reserved at the motel 6!

what are you some kind of foreigner? don't do it people. don't listen to her.

A real, red-blooded, true American will just max out his/her credit cards, rather than "saving up". Fiscal responsibility is a venal, dangerous concept that is the work of people who hate America.

[TomAz]

Also, the hotels apparently know the dates already, too. The Hampton Inn in Palm Desert wants $299 per night. that's gotta be at least double the normal rate there.

[luckyface]

The Fairfield Inn, while nothing fancy, is a very reasonable hotel at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it.

thats my plan. worked out this year. FUCK SAVING MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. oh wait, i was born here, im fucked.

[Boourns]

So which day is the Portishead day?

[TomAz]

The Fairfield Inn, while nothing fancy, is a very reasonable hotel at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it.

Fairfield Inn (Marriott) is about the same quality of service/room as Hampton Inn (Hilton).

Fairfield Inn is showing $179 vs. Hampton Inn's $299.

wtf?

[thinnerair]

Tessa...If I start saving up $6 a day now, then I can take you out when I get to coachella and we can snack on gummy worms for DAYS!!

Yeah, that's what I thought too, which is why I was surprised to see the $299 price tag. I forget the street name, but the street that Fairfield is off of makes it so easy to get to Coachella. Take that road for like 7-8 miles or so (little to no traffic each day), make a right and go for a mile or so, then take that clusterfuck left by the grocery store, followed by the right into the Polo Fields. Pretty simple.

[aprillynnn]

yay! I got my condo booked..

[marooko]

someone wanna share a room?

[jackstraw94086]

the government does not buy coachella tickets for illegal aliens, nor does it force you to buy your own.

[captncrzy]

I booked the Motel 6 in May for $89/night. I'll be bringing my own pillow and blanket.

[TomAz]
