They have shuttles that go to Ralph's. As a general rule of thumb. Calculate how much you think you need, then double it.
What he said; also, when you come back from the shuttle run, I don't think they search you but they may. Just be smart about it.Quote:

Yes you get searched again.... what the hell are you planning?
Just dont bring in glass, man.
Just remember to take your ID card, because they will be asking for that, and may end up being dicks about it (which isn't much of an issue if you're cool, and can latch on to another cool person with an ID).
Word to the woozy: If you let the twenty year old stoners use your cooler, you'll find all your beers missing, and one wasted drunk son of a bitch passed out in the tent next door. It's cool to be nice and accommodating to your fellow campers, but fuck that. Do the right thing.
I always bring a 12/24 pack of "give away" beer for neighbors. If they return the favor I'll start giving out the better stuff. It's good to break the ice right off the bat to know what you'll be dealing with all weekend. Somehow everyone in my crew always ends up drinking hard liquor (or other) and there's always a case of something leftover Monday morning, so never had to reload on cans.
This past year my campmate and I went to ralphs every morning (mainly to use the shitter) and came back with goodies everytime. They allow up to one handle of liquor or one case of beer per person(absolutely no glass containers!) We both ended up bringing back a handle of vodka each and made jungle juice to have and share with our surrounding campers.
Get a 36 of some light beer per person in your site (taste isnt your issue here). And like said above, just go each morning or whenever and grab a plastic handle, seagrams 7 looked like a smart buy with some 7-up/sprite and make some drinks. They are way cool after the weekend has started.
whaaaaat!? they allowed hard alcohol to be carried in from grocery store runs?Quote:

Actual security was operating on a largely different page than what was official.
Haha, nice sig.

Or buy a lot of cheap beer and drink it too fast. Just have a constant race with your friends to see who can finish their beer the fastest and whoever loses has to pound a beer. this is an ongoing game for the entire weekend.
The old faithful Bevmo always has canned Craft beers if you're trying to increase the alcohol content
if you have to restock. you did it wrong.
also dont get so ratfucked by coachella's ice prices - use dry ice for the weekend and if you have 2 coolers even better. otherwise save money for coachella and vendor it. The food is so good and you're going to buy it anyway.
JUST DONT GET THE BUFFET.
What's wrong with the Buffet? I've heard no negative reviews
When you come back from ralph's or wherever, is it coachella security or actual police officers checking the alcohol?
and the buffet is pretty good for how much you pay
Eggs Potatos and OJ right? Maybe bacon.... Maybe it evolved in the last year or two but last time I had it was the last time I had it.
Egg gas from poorly cooked scrambled eggs all day. Woo hoo.
the eggs were shitty and didn't taste like eggs but the potatoes, bacon, sausage, and pancakes weren't badQuote:
