Hey all!!

Yup looks like no go for me this year... SUPER BUMBED!!! Just lost my job again and was unable to afford them when they went on sale. Wish I could be there this is my favorite time of year by far!!

If anyone is staying for both weekends and r bored during the week hit me up!! Temecula is only a short 45 min drive from the fest!! haha

Take lots of pictures and make sure to post them!! Hope you all have fun! and thanks for the offer Manolo! If I could afford it I would be there in a minute

[L Dot]

Alright I got you Lou, let me know if there is anything you need. As long as we don't stop, we could get to Ralphs by 12. If anyone else out there needs a ride from Ontario, I'd be happy to oblige. Between Joy and Bill, I think I may have to go the 2nd weekend, still not sure though.

Dude pm me so I can give you my new cell number...

[manolo]

We're getting close to time to work out meeting logistics. I was thinking meeting 1 at Ralph's; manolo seemed to be thinking noon. What does everyone else think?

[jgafs]

I'll be getting out there a little earlier to swing by Will Call at the Tennis Gardens...so whatever time works best for the group, I'm down for.

[Eddie S.]

Hello, I'm going solo to Coachella for my first time and wanted to join the procrastinators camp group.. is there a group for weekend 2? It seems like everyone on this thread is going weekend 1. Let me know.

[grifter]

We should welcome all new members!

but they should know to bring peanut butter....just in case....

We do welcome all new members, but Eddie has a good point: i'm trying to organize Weekend 1, because that's the weekend most of us are going; it's not even clear to me that we have a group for weekend 2.

[grifter]

Indio Earthquake hits Coachella! Does anyone think this would be awesome if one hit during the festival?

Conceptually i mean,...minus all the certain loss of life and devastation.

I'm already planning on bringing peanut butter. Although now I'm not sure why...

I'll be coming from Ramona that morning, so any time's good. I'd think the earlier the better though, since camping opens at 9 this year.

[L Dot]

How many canopy's do we have btw? I think Aaron brought his, so we'd be one short.

I'll have one - let's hope it doesn't end up being blown into Arizona by the end of the weekend.

i gave mine away last year, so that might make it two short. i asked the friend i'm staying with in san diego to see if she culd find me one, but i haven't heard yet.

------------------

it looks like everyone wants earlier rather than later, which makes sense; IIRC the sense last year was that we should try for earlier.

So: meet at Ralph's at noon, with the expectation that manolo+lou will be the last people to arrive?

Can everyone PM me their phone #? Then I can send a list to the entire group, which will let us contact each other if traffic is making us late. (Aaryn kept a list last year and did text message blasts, but he's not coming, and i'm not able to do text message blasts. )

[Grant LaCorte]

So stoked for those ladies. How about Lissie, drinking tequila on stage... hot!

[jgafs]

Ralphs - The one at 50th and Jefferson?

[aphrael]

Aye, the Ralphs on Jefferson X 50. The one true Ralphs.

[slightfoot82]

Hi! Tried to message you but your mailbox is full. We'll meet you all at noon at the Ralphs. We have a two room tent about 10'x14' that we were planning on bringing, and also a 10' pop up canopy. Is that tent size ok? Or should we bring smaller? Other people are welcome to stay in it, I'm sure there is room. I'm not sure though exactly, it's brand new. Let me know what else needs bringing. Oh, btw we have a hyundai accent hatchback.

Shara & Ryan

[slightfoot82]

Also, we have two canopies if you want us to bring both.

[justjoy]

There is no such thing as too much shade
