How long do you think this two weekends shit will last?

[Fig Neutron]

It is already 3D.

[algunz]

I'm warning you people. After this year, they will expand the festival space and just have one giant festival. No more 2 weekends. It takes too long and costs too much to get the grass back to polo shape.

[RotationSlimWang]

... wow, that couldn't possibly be more wrong.

[Bud Luster]

You've been warned. Word on the street says so.

[RotationSlimWang]

The polo season ends at the end of March, you fucking twit.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

The word on the streets is this is likely to be the last year of 2 weekends. The grass gets too thrashed.

Which streets? Dumdum Avenue and Bad Info Blvd?

[captncrzy]

How exactly are they going to expand to accomodate the number of people that go? Are they going to bulldoze people's property or just put turf on the surrounding streets?


Bumblebee--where are you to do the math and the googling?

[TomAz]

The polo season ends at the end of March, you fucking twit.

Today, in fact, is opening day.

Pretty Grass.

[RotationSlimWang]

Apparently that one extra weekend--you know, in addition to the other three fucking weekends where they have been having a festival there for the past several years--just creates too much damage for them to repair in, oh, EIGHT MONTHS. Jesus Christ, Gunz.

[algunz]

I'm just repeating what has been told me from people who are in the position to know.

[TomAz]

Paul Tollet's secretary's roommate?

[algunz]

How did you know?

[RotationSlimWang]

Okay, well I'll bet you the street value of your daughter since I have no daughter to put up--300 bucks.

[algunz]

She's worth at least 350. She's got all her teeth now.

[RotationSlimWang]

That works against you.

Someone on the boards (can't recall who) posted what they have proposed in terms of expansion. It's not that much of an expansion. Not enough to assume it can accommodate enough patrons to make up for losing out on an extra weekend of profits. The document also included how much they plan on expanding the festival in terms of attendance and it was only an increase of 4,000. I don't buy it, Gunz.

[algunz]

We shall see.

[captncrzy]

Wait. Doesn't your husband's work/company have something to do with the festival?

[amyzzz]

God I hope not.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEKCHELLA

[algunz]

I guess we'll find out in about 5 months.

[RotationSlimWang]

No, we won't. I guarantee you, for a fucking fact, this is not happening.

[algunz]

[BROKENDOLL]

Wait. Why are you laughing?

[captncrzy]

She seems to think that Coachella will go back to one weekend next year..even though Goldenvoice has committed to doing five festivals a year at the polo fields.

[heart cooks brain]

week-chella

[amyzzz]

I don't understand why she continues to think that.

[captncrzy]

Yeah, Gunz. Explain how you know.

[algunz]

Ha, no . . . . this was during the time that everybody was speculating about when the line-up was going to be released and everybody knew somebody who knew somebody who knew. I had actually heard this from a friend but I called bullshit on her from the get go. I threw it in here and was shocked at how defensive everybody got so I played along. I forgot about this until somebody voted on this poll today.

In other words, I never believed it either.
