Coachella just hit me...

[CitizenJ]

Coachella confession. Whenever I finally step foot onto the grassy fields, I kiss the ground and say to myself "i'm home."

True story.

The best feeling for me is walking in on friday. The worst feeling is when the lights come up sunday night. And then waiting another 362 days.

I think one of these right before they open the gates would be more than welcome...

[stellarpoet22]

Coachella just "hit" me today, I'm running around everywhere buying what i need, its here guys, its fuckin here.
Cheers!

[Nikita]

It's so ON!!! Glitter string, sunscreen, and flip flops with the bottle opener to start the suitcase right!!!!!

[Sexecutioner]

I bought then partially packed some stuff last night, including small packs of wet wipes, sun screen, and lip chap. I will start packing up all my stuff excluding clothes in the next couple days. It's happening.

You are packing 2 weeks ahead of time? And I thought I was obsessive.

[vertin]

ITS HITTING ME RIGHT NOW CUZ OF THIS THREAD!!!! FUCKING CHELLA IS BACK !!!!!!!

[SepaGroove]

WOOOO

[rambleonfreddy]

This week for me!
Passes arrived at work yesterday, made a google doc with our group to organize who's buying what, supply shopping this weekend, it's all happening so fast! Woooooo

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

I've got a pile of camping supplies in my living room and tried on potential outfit combos yesterday. I am trying not to get too carried away as I still have 12 and a half very full and busy days to live between now and then, but today I was driving in my car at lunch with the windows down and The Hives blaring and I could feel the sun on my skin and it felt so close I could almost taste it. It sucked a shit ton to have to pull back into my office parking lot and realize I am so close, yet still not quite there. But soooooon.......

[Goatchella]

So Coachella is your boyfriend...and it just hit you?

You shouldn't be an abusive relationship. Domestic violence is a serious issue

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

Technically Music is my boyfriend, but same diff.


What can I say, I really like Rihanna.

[Goatchella]

Go on

[Originalbob]

Honestly, every time I see the count down into the message board, I have a wave of butterflies in my stomach realizing it's getting closer and closer.

[Andrew 619]

Lol.. Feeling this.

... Living this

[vertin]

I still need to wash my tent from last year haha 10 days!!!

[weezy f baby]

Eh, I would never do that at Coachella. I have done it and will continue to do it at Burning Man, because that's real "Home"

Sorry dude I'm not Burnsmug.

[hippityhip]

It just hit me. I can't fucking wait to be at Coachella this year. It's also about to hit one lucky friend of mine. I had an extra pass and instead of selling it I'm giving it away for free in a random drawing of friends that didn't buy a ticket in time or didn't have the money to buy one. I announce the winner on Thursday.

LOL ! that's so funny. Do they have to call you every day at 5pm, fill out an entry form or write an essay or anything. I feel you thou, i have an extra pass and can't afford to, but am thinking of giving a friend a 'Miracle Ticket'

[Mugwog]

Bug just finally bit me.

I've got about 5 other jobs to focus on too.

FUCK.

[Goatchella]

Jerk off...it will clear your mind

Haha aww man I should have made them do something silly like that for shits and giggles. I guess making them wait for two days until about an hour ago was agonizing enough. I received endless texts, FB posts, and messages. I can barely afford to do it myself but after seeing so many people I know bummed because it sold out so quickly I felt it was a nice thing to do. I put their names on paper, thru them in a hat, video taped it, and pulled a random name out. The winner responded something to this effect OH MY FUCKING GOD IM GOING TO FUCKING COACHELLA I CANT BELIEVE I FUCKING WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good karma will come my way hopefully.

[jimmycrackcorn]

the mandatory stop at Alien Jerky!

Niiiiiice!

"Colon cleaner hot" was what we pick up whenever we roll through there....

The excitement level for me is like if you've ever been skydiving when they first open the door and the wind & sound rushes in and "$HIT gets REAL"

[g1zzz]

I have to leave Coachella Sunday morning to be back at work for a mandatory staff meeting (so stupid... I posted about it in the bad mood thread) so I was discussing with my friend about what time she's driving to Indio to pick me since I don't want my friends I'll be with to drive back on Sunday too for obvious reasons so she goes on to say "So I'm thinking next week..." and I say "Next week..." and tears started falling from my eyes! This whole time I've been so concerned with saying 30 MORE DAYS 10 DAYS and all that and I just now realized I'm able to say it's next week. Reality hit so bad that I got so happy and cried my eyes out.

Coachella 2012, I'm ready for you.

[IRSCOTT]

This is usually the time when i buy my stash and smoke it all and curse myself for having to spend more money on a new stash thursday night before i head out. wish me luck

This guy is growing his own, maybe you should make friends. that coachella OG baby!:

coachella is with me year round. several years ago i cut out a piece of coachella grass and brought it home, it grows in a pot right outside our kitchen so i can always look out and be reminded of my happy place.

[jgmelara]

All the constant reminders, all the little things, and all the big things.
The little box, the thinking, the reading, the planning, the conversing, the INTERNET, the MUSIC!

Coachella this, Coachella that.
I can't think about anything else anymore.

[Buddha99]

Just got waxed... All is good for the Coachella Speedo...

[Goatchella]

Lol...my gf got her monkey waxed...she's all stoked on it.

[Buddha99]

Smooth sailing...

[drummer333]

Just hit me on Monday, when I finished the first draft of my senior thesis. Turned on my Coachella playlist and it produced the most perfect set of songs. That's when I realized my responsibilities were over until after Coachella.

[nyarlathotoats]

Started packing my gear for weekend 2 tonight, and I felt a urge to go outside and imagine myself at the fields, which i did; Coachella hit me again...


EDIT: I don't feel the need to press charges, ever.

[SolXSlayer]

Coachella just kicked me clean in the balls. I can't believe I am gonna see Radiohead for the first time ever!!!! 4 more days.
