Lightbulb The Onsite-Camping-All-Alone Club!

So... this was sparked by the 'camping by herself' thread that many many people replied to saying that they're in the situation.
By the way - you can only be in the club if you meet the following requirements:
  • Will be camping in ON-SITE camping
  • Aren't camping with ANYONE ELSE
  • Respect others' privacy
  • Want to make friends!

So who's in?!

EDIT: We're organizing one area for all of us to camp in, so your membership now includes camping in a common area with solo campers.

This is my third Coachella, did camping with my lady last year, this time around i'm solo. I will be solo camping and have respect and like to make friends.

Or as they say, plays well with others. I'm all for meetups and hangin out.

I was going to use the "flag" identifying method too. The signs I'm planning read "Need a ride to Coachella? Come on down!"

I'm on my own. Looking to have somebody to hang out with, so this sounds like a good idea.

I'm bringing a canopy/gazebo thingy, so I'll have shade in the morning!
Now who wants to be my friend? hehe

I don't think it's too buggy, but it's nice to have some sort of privacy (I think)

So if we do this we should try to coordinate getting there near the same times and stuff. Maybe if we all buy these shirts we can identify eachother and then be able to camp near eachother as well. My tent is supposedly a four person but i would say it fits two comfortably.

or, whoever's getting there first can say that them and their 20 friends are all camping together, give 'em "the list" and then the coachella people can direct them to the "spot"
