First Coachella

[york707]

You can't bring cameras with removable lenses, and you will have to buy water bottles and parasols inside. They won't let you bring in your own water or parasols/umbrellas (depending on which line you're in).

and we have a winner

[Coachellian]

im also a coachella virgin, And i'll be traveling maybe...6000 miles for it? woo!

If you are one of those that just GOTTA be in the front - then show up to the set early. The constant foot traffic to get to the front just isn't necessary. They've set the venue up so you can hear or see relatively good as long as you are near where you want to be. If you're that big of a fan then make the early effort and show up on time!!!

This is also my 1st time going. Should I camp it out or just rent a house for the weekend?

I don't know what I'm doing, so hopefully this works...

those kittens would make a beautiful coat.

Don't drink during the day.

I was drinking in the camping area all morning (from 9am till we entered the fields). Big mistake.

Waiting in line for security was one of the most grueling experiences of my life.

This year, no alcohol til sundown...

there will be many choices ...
oh yeah, and in 2004 I had some felafel that wasn't bad...but you can't go wrong with spicy pie or teriyaki bowls.

but if you follow the advice right above mine, you won't believe me.

Yeah go with the felafel.
Wear two different colored socks... it's like a "signal."
Whenever you were led to the stage by a hot chick, always put on as LARGE a hat as possible.
If someone spits at you, that means that you are supposed to smack their ass then pinch their nipples.
Also group hugs are crowd contagious, so be sure when they break out not to loose your spot.
