    Default sleeping in my car?

    Ive never been before so can i just go to where my car is parked take a sweet nappy and come back in the morning and get my tunes on again or is that against the law cause theres no re-entries and such...
    i feel like if i stock my car with bread, fruit and water i should be able to last just fine through the three days...

    My friends and I did that in 2007 and it actually worked out fine. I got more rest sleeping in a car for three days than I did sleeping in a tent in 2010. The only problem is that they won't legally let you do that, so we ended up parking our car in random shopping parking lots around Indio.

    I personally recommend trying it.

    They have bathrooms but I wouldn't dare taking a tooth brush or comb my hair in there.
    As as for showers, I assume you wont be taking any?

    In the modern world where anyone with a wristband can get into the campgrounds, why would this be the case? Drive in for the day, park, go shower before going into the venue ...

    The main problem here is where to park at night. Cops and tow trucks will be looking for people like you.

    even an ugly chick might let u stay in there tent.

    the first year i went (2005), we slept in the car at a truck stop near indio. no one gave us any shit, and we were able to use the bathrooms/showers there. it wasn't too bad, actually.

    The dirt lot accross the street (between 50 and 51) said they cant let anyone drive drunk- so act drunk and you cans tay. We slept there both nights and were totally fine. The back corner had quite a few people camping out. Use the drunk card- Any cop will understand if you are being responsible and not driving drunk. We never saw anyone get towed in there.

    Your Chella wristband gets you into the campgrounds still so go shower there before the event and youre fine. Baby wipes can get your through the rest of the event just fine.

    Drive to one of the casinos that are within a half hour's distance away (like Morongo). I've personally slept in my car in one of their giant, indoor parking lots. Just pack a wash cloth and tooth brush and you can wash up in their bathrooms AND have an amazing breakfast to start the day. Tenting is for suckers.

    Wouldn't it be too hot to sleep inside the car?

    Walmart allows people to camp in their parking lots. Look it up. There is one in town.

    walk to my tent > walk to parking lot, get out of it, drive out of indio to morongo, look for a parking lot where I could possibly be woken up from to be asked to leave for the chance to use the hotel's casino restrooms for a raccoon bath in the morning and a 7.99 buffet breakfast
