That Silly State Farm Tent

[oftheheartofthesoul]

I'm glad my car insurance provider taught people how to DJ and played Coachella favorites like Cece Peniston's "Finally."

Cheesiest thing at the festival.

[EVillSD]

You actually wasted your time in that fucker? Haha!

[JennKnowsEverything]

That's funny. I was wondering WTF that thing was. But I would totally have went had I known there was some CeCe Penniston action up in DURRR!

[cooperb1]

only time i whent in there was to cool off for a few seconds

[robotronia]

where are all of the cece (finally) vs haddaway (what is love) bootleg mixes?
did i drop my 2 bottles of K too soon?

i'll bet thats where all of the 'real' djs got their mad skills

[jockeyfullofbourbon]

That you know who Haddaway is is very telling.

The only real use of this tent was the free internet. They had several computers set up that weren't locked to the state farm site. I saw people posting on facebook, twitter, myspace, etc.

I've worked for State Farm for the past six+ years. I saw this and just shook my head. They had something like this at Bamboozle Left that was equally cheesy.

The funny part is they don't just let employees volunteer- they hire marketing firms to bring kids in that they think "fi the scene". By "fit the scene" I mean break all the dress code rules we actually have to follow while working at public events.

myspace bulletin - "hey everyone im at coachella! if you see me say hi!"

facebook status - "...is at coachella, say hi if you see me"

twitter status - ..."watching..." "watching...." "watching...."

HOW LAME. hahahaahha

They taught people how to DJ instead of fixing the damage that my car had taken last week when stolen.

Good Job State Farm.

AEG Live recently announced that such brands as AT&T, FYE, PlayStation, MLB, and State Farm have signed deals with many of its festivals. And in a tough economy, Phillips says that Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett has lightened up on not allowing more sponsors to enter Coachella.

As long as the sponsors' logos aren't splattered all over the Main Stage like at Stagecoach or Lolla I don't see what the big deal is.

I spent most of the three days in that tent getting handjobs from wanna be DJ girls who I told I was a record producer and that I could get them a CD one day. Oh those handjobs........oh my

[jennygirl]

I totally hit up that tent to change my facebook update to something like "I'm at Coachella BITCHES" just to unapologetically rub it in everyone's faces tee hee.

i really want to know how the sales pitch in these tents went:

"did you see the fireworks during mccartney, pretty awesome, huh? so, have you thought about how your loved ones will pay for your expenses when you die..." i mean, WTF?!?!

[allyjoy]

I actually would love to be pitched life insurance in such a setting. I wouldn't purchase of course, but the experience would make me a better person. Especially if Ivy does the pitching.

People checking facebook at Coachella.

I watched hockey in there. Zipped in, checked the scores, and zipped back out, fresh as a daisy. Loved that tent.
