Your 2011 Camping Setup

[DeadSkin]

I let this guy (Ari) put his tent in my tent for all 4 nights.

ARI is the shit!!! That guy was mad cool I have some videos of him rapping.

[Robin]

I <3 Ari.
I had the pleasure of driving him down. He's such a sweetheart.
I feel privileged to have heard his songs before most of y'all.

[baily]

We saw some AMAZING camping set-ups.

Many people came 1st class....impressed!

[Geno_g]

Nice work.... I dug this when I came by and saw your camping spot...

Yeah, he was a great part of our Coachella camping experience. I had 'The Hippie Dance' stuck in my head for days afterwards.

Loved your setup Lil! It's inspired us to get a little more creative for LiB.

Thanks. Talk to Jeremy & Serena - they will be taking this canopy w/all the decor to LiB so if you guys can team up that will be awesome. (stoked that Adam and I will be making it to Sunday).

Also, I highly recommend area rugs. The rug I found at Ross (colorful one towards back in photo) was only $15 and ended up adding such a nice touch. We also used this old bamboo mat I had laying around.

Just searched YT and found a vid of Ari rapping.

[TheClares]

ah, shade (with a misting system)...



and a pool never hurts...



And a tent, under an EZ UP, wrapped in Shade Cloth = sleeping past 10AM (providing you layer clothes, sleeping bags and light blankets appropriately)

He rapped in my campsite, twice during the weekend!!!

[vdubshani]

this one is from monday morning right before the trash tornado

[manda panda]

Yeah, I realized I really needed to maximize my space and since they started doing car camping last year and I had a truck it only made sense. Did you use a Truck-Bedz air mattress? It worked fairly well after the first night when I realized I didn't tighten the air hole enough.

This is awesome! I managed to fit one of those trundle bed mattresses from my house in the bed of my truck, but as far as air mattresses go this is great. With the hard cover pushed up as far as it could, and an easy up over that, there were absolutely no problems with waking up sweating

Ari is just one of the most wonderful people I have ever met and that is saying something!! Seriously, not just his rap but everything about him. Such a gentle, intelligent, talented and thoughtful person! So glad he got to go to Coachella because all of us enjoyed his company so very much:-)) Thanks Robin for providing him a ride!!!!!

Flavorwire just used this pic in their article about annoying people at festivals... specifically people blasting shitty music in the middle of the night. I'm sure they didn't mean to imply that YOU were the people keeping the neighbors up with Kings of Leon

Didn't get too many great shots at Coachella, but here is our main chill spot when we set it up a few weeks prior in the backyard.



Everything hanging lights up at night.

OH WOW. I know I'm like 4 months late at this point, but I just read this thread for the first time. Unknown, if I ever camp, I'm hiring you as my decorations consultant.

Our setup on Lot 8, 9th Street
We hope everyone enjoyed the free Monster given away on Sunday and the water mister.

[amyzzz]

Damn, that set-up is beautiful, Lilia

[unknown]

Thanks but distorted_jungle and his very creative wife picked out all the fabric. We went to Little India together one day and found a store with all the patterned fabric and knew that's what we needed. The stars were really cheap online and they were illuminated with battery operated LED lights. Everything else that dangled around the site were things I already had. We also used some large area rugs for flooring which provided a really nice added touch of comfort, and lots of pillows.

[ivankay]

So sad i was close to your site, but did not cross it's path. Great job Lilia. i'm getting your number for next year and seeking your site out specifically.

[unknown]

Awesome, Mike! That means I'll have to think of something really beautiful!

Nothing says "people blasting music all night" like a picture of a campsite taken in the daytime with no people or stereos in it.

We did have a little XM boombox that we played very quietly on Thursday evening.

[Gribbz]

Everybody fucking bumps music in the campgrounds. Not a lot of sound bleed either.

[nosurprises12]

Our neighbors decided to play this song, and only this song, at fairly regular intervals throughout the entire weekend.

[Michelle760]

^how nice of u

[kerby14]

wow i need to get working on this for next year! some of these are amazing

[BigAudioClash]

^^ Awesome.

[Premium Roast]

had the tall shower thing and people would stop by asking things like "what is that?" or "Is that a UFO?", so the last days just started lying about it saying things like "I go in there to pray", "sleep hanging upside down", etc

[Timestretch]

Amazing set-up! I got the same fan. Batteries lasted all weekend and there is still power left for this year.
