RESERVE A ROOM NOW! 6 MONTH NOTICE!

[scoop49er]

ok people, i just reserved my room for coachella 08. about 20 miles away. basic motel 6 but really cool people and had a good time there . next to a dennys and gas place for snacks so it was all good. i noticed when looking for rooms that most places within 10-20 miles close are booked and i know last year alot of people were SOL so if u plan on going reserve it now! most places all u have to do is just put down a credit card and you can cancel if things change. good luck people!

plus im letting people know basic info now cuz i remember being a coachella rookie last year and did so much research cuz i wanted to be prepard and i asked a ton of questions that would annoy the veterans but so many people stepped up and helped with shortcuts, dining info, hotels, etc.. so i want to return the favor cuz i know alot of people lurk and once it goes down alot of people are gonna need info so im gonna help since im a 2nd year coachella player now!

Ah, I see. I've been to Coachella six times, camping twice, which I will never do again. I did have some fun while camping but in the end it was too noisy and too hot and I appreciate a good night's sleep. The hotel amenities are worth their expense to me and over the years I've learned to book early for the following year. Pretty much as soon as I get back home, actually.

yeah coachella was something we always wanted to do but our kids were still in their infant stage so it was hard to get away. now they are 10 and 7 and we have the grandparents watch them so its open for us to go...

camping was a option but i need to get the time off to relax. im 36 now. when i was in my 20's , hell, ill do the 7 day road trip and camp all day and night. now i like my sleepy time for my backy! plus its good to wake up to silence to fire it up and go all out at the festival! its worth the money now... im saving it up as we speak those pennies will count later!

[psychic friend]

last year i dropped off a girl at a motel about 2 miles from the festival (thursday night).. there are a few out there. they dont take reservations. she got a room for like $50. im sure it was gross though.

I hear ya man. When I go on vacation to the desert I like to sleep in a plush bed with A/C and a pool. I get plenty of camping time in up here in the NW but when I'm flying in for several full days of concert going I need a quality place to go back to recharge. It ain't easy getting old I guess.

[scoop49er]

the calf muscles start to hurt earlier, the feet hurt more, the back starts to act up, the wanting to sit for longer times start to happen, etc, etc,etc. lol. back in the day, i could go 2 days standing up just to make a point i could hang longer. fuck that now! i pace myself and actually enjoy myself so much more now! plus kicking that a/c into full blast feels so fucking good after a long night of drinking and rocking and dancing. its part older age, but more experience! if they ever had a 10 day festival, id make it only cuz i know how to pace it now. before id pass out after 3! LOL but thats just young energy and i still have it to a point but just a little smarter and older in a good way!

oh and psychic, tell anyone who will listen to make a offer to bat for lashes! i dig her big time!

Fuck GPS's yard; I bet he has a guest room.

[DeltaSigChi4]

GPS won't even let me stay in his guest room.

He hates guys with beards.

[captncrzy]

You really should rethink the camping thing Edwin-especially since you now have a hit out on you-easier to find in the campground.

[Wheres the beef?]

GPS won't even let me stay in his guest room.

When did you start a beard?

[algunz]

You all should just sleep in your cars in the parking lot - ya know, lighten the load the next day.

I'm not afraid of anyone who threatens me over the internets via Canada ...

that's where i stayed last year and had my car broken into. be sure to park as close to the motel as possible, not out in the back parking lot. the night after the break in i parked right in front of denny's.

i actually booked another motel 6 a few months ago, right at washington and the 10, only about a 10 minute drive from the festival, but now found out i will be staying onsite this year through some good fortune and will probably drop the motel 6 at some point, or maybe keep it for friends.

I have to wait until January I think to book my resort (I need to pay for my annual fees first). I just hope they don't fill up at my Palm Springs resort before I reserve my room. My husband Jacob can't deal with camping so well, and I agree that is it very hard to sleep in the campground.

Scoop, you're actually near my age--we should hang out. There are way too many youngins on this board. We could compare body aches and commiserate about whining children 'n shizz. My kids are 5 and 7.

house in indian palms is the ultimate, no?

[Wheres the beef?]

Camping on site is the ultimate.

Just watch out if Delta attempts to sell you water.
