Were you in the Tack Bar? There's some good snacks in there, but I've never been there during the festival.

I watched Gary Clark Jr. about eight feet to the left of you, stinkbutt. You showed up about half way through. I was too elevated, rocking out too hard, and didn't want to be that guy that tried start bullshitting mid-set.
Oh I just remembered I saw Guedita and Frazzle just to the left of me during Wild Flag, I wanted to say hi but I felt like a creeper so I just enjoyed the great show, I think this happened with other boardies at least three of four times.
I saw Guedita Frazzles and Gribbz weekend 1. I think that might be all. We didn't really hang, but I saw them in passing.
Weekend 2 Natelevmofuggaz kicked it a bit and saw some do-lab set and Modeselektor together.
I'll try to meet up with more people next yearI am just always so fucking tired when the night ends... During the fest bad phone service and an extended crew of ~30 makes it hard.

took me far too long to get this list together and posted...
new boardies
courtney: saw her at her birthday dinner, a couple times on the polo grounds, in the parking lot of the villas we stayed at, and had post-coachella brunch meal with her on monday.
greghead: met him at the lockers after friday night, he and courtney were sharing a villa, and he told me the westin had heated pools after the fact. cocksucker.
randy: i saw him last year, but didn't introduce myself. had a nice little chat by the lobster with him and courtney. we sat quietly while randy rambled. it was lovely.
rskapcat/and hubby: went over to their house after courtney's birthday dinner. learned she doesn't like children. i want to buy her a teddy ruxpin that plays "a triple six turtle christmas"
captain/somewhat damaged: met them at becca's house. nice white people, but i was afraid to make a wrong move. she could totally take me in the octagon. saw them at a couple of sets. pretty sure i saw them in the do lab, also.
mountmccabe/fiancee: met at the house party. not too much interaction between us. saw at a couple of sets.
pixiessp: also at the house party. after looking over my list from last year, i apparently had met her then. guessing it was at pj harvey.
playadelwes/wifey: met them while checking into the westin. had a drink with them and buddy, then ran off to dinner.
buddy: we split the villa that i bought off of playa. he got the couch. soft spoken guy. very nice, even though he's a red sox fan.
sonofhal: was at the dinner. saw him a couple of times on the polo grounds. still owes me a whitney houston cover. but he's british, so gets some slack.
nathanfairchild: i am certain he was stalking me over the weekend. everywhere i turned it seemed he was there. and everytime i saw him, i had a nearly uncontrollable urge to go to walmart, buy a hairbrush and attack him with it. that briar-patch on your head was driving me insane.
redhotsgtpeppers: met him at mazzy star. stayed for explosions in the sky on his recommendation. saw him a few more times over the course of coachella. quite possibly the most adorable boardie i've met.
gribbz: met him at real estate, i think. he was trying to make the air around him flammable from the flask he was drinking from with greghead and cara. unfortunately he had a shirt on, so i couldn't see his shag carpet of a chest.
gunz/hubby/hubby's friend: met her by the merch tent friday night.
menik: ran into him briefly. introduced myself, shook his hand, and took off. sorry i didn't stay longer to chat. looking back my demeanor seemed to be a bit rude. i apologize.
koryp/wifey: met him inbetween sets. shorter than what i had imagined.
neighborhoodcreep/stinkbutt: previously met them last year at roo/nashville. official polo grounds meet this year.
paulb: met him in the main food court after dre/snoop. had a nice little chat. his feet were killing him. he ran off to meet up with his wife.
hairygoomba: met her inbetween sets. nice lady.
mja: he was on the ground talking to frazz, courtney, captain, somewhat damaged when i first saw him, but i didn't know who he was. truly met him as i was walking away from amon tobin. courtney pulled me over to introduce us. saw him a couple of times over the weekend. with his glasses on, all i could think of was:

boardies i saw, but didn't meet
frozenpilgrim
alchemy
goatchella: i know we met at roo/nashville last year, but we didn't meet up this year at coachella.
and to all the boardies i met last year and saw again this year: glad you got to see me again.
feather poked me at noisia, i was a little out of it and it took me a minute to realize who she was.
i saw frazzles (i think) at seun kuti. we've never been formally introduced but he was part of the high contrast t-shirt brigade last year. felt like a weirdo to just suddenly come up on him.
other than that i never meet any of you fools because i'm too shy/insecure/a moron. every year i mean to make more of an effort to make it to the group photo but i flake out.
oh well. 2013.
Wait, it was Courtney's birthday dinner? I am now even more disappointed I didn't make it.
gotta blame noel gallagher, was watching him when you guys rolled through the rv lot on the hasselhoff/kitt parade...still so bummed i missed that sight, especially with fold riding shotgun. we were probably less than 10 feet apart at kasabian weekend 1, too. sorry!

TomAZ, and a couple more I can't remember.
Logan it was great to meet you! same with all the rest of you fucks. you're all so wonderful in the most awkward way possible. I felt right at home.
This weekend I met a few of ya:
Drewski, TheKlein (loved that you wore a Blink shirt), RedHot, ThatGirl, CapnCrazy for a brief sec at the meet-up. TomAZ too (which was kinda awkward somehow aha). I saw Amy but one of her kids was leeched onto her leg looking really sad so idk it was just wasn't gonna work.
It was nice meeting/hanging with you Chris (TallGuy), and Josh (Rage)!!
Talked to nosurprises for a bit, rad.
And watched Dead Can Dance with Erik (Menik)!
I met a couple nice folks.... But for various... reasons... I don't remember a ton about meeting them.
I pretty much had to run after the picture and I was pretty drunk, but I got to meet Feather(and direct her to the new location), nosurprises, and nathanfairchild this year. And a few more whose names I'm forgetting.
thesklein wearing blink is something to fucking talk about. Way to stay true !
I missed so many of you.
it was nice to meet you, Logan and ThatGirl! I wish we were able to hang out with you two a bit more during Roni Size and Eric Prydz but I think the sandstorm made it tough.
I didn't get to go to the board photo because I was all the way out in lot 4 and I didn't get there in time, but I should be there for the weekend 2 meetup
I also met msparks and Jen briefly after OMD. it was kind of funny that the OMD meetup was just going to be a couple people and turned out to be a bit bigger. if I wasn't so shy I would have introduced myself to more of you. I don't remember all of who was there, but I remember sonofhal, downingtheif and somewhatdamaged being pointed out. if you were wondering who the 2 girls looking awkward were, it was me and Enluv12
I met NachoCat thursday night and we were just down the street from each other. we walked around the grounds together thursday night and explored.
I also finally met Robin after we camped across the street from each other and didn't know it until last year was over. we turned out to be neighbors again and our groups really intermingled with each other.
Faxman joined our camping group at very the last minute when I realized we were in line at the same time.
I saw you, Thatgirl. I was in the beer garden after the pic and saw a lot of you, but I couldn't jump the fence. I should have thrown things. Who's the guy with the straw hat and goggles?
