The Official Procrastinator's Camping Group Thread

[cswilson97]

my name is chris. my this will be my wife and i's first coachella and would like to join a camping group. we will be arriving on thursday around 1pm. we will be bringing an icechest and possibly a canopy

[slapuinpublic]

sweet welcome aboard, I will Private Message you my phone number...it's going to be tight, I may be in closer to 2-3 pm because I will be picking people up. Whoever get's there first can just call me and I will let you know the group size so you can reserve the spot for us...then just let me know where we're at so I can let everyone know who calls......or you can just sit in the parking lot drinking beer till I get there (my suggestion) =)

oh...where are you from Chris?

[cswilson97]

from the pit of hell Bakersfield

[slapuinpublic]

Oh man, I feel for ya...at least the heat will be manageable

[aphrael]

I'll be bringing a canopy, as well; hopefully we can stage canopies to the southeast end of our area to help protect the canopyless from the morning sun.

[cswilson97]

That sounds great! what size is your canopy i havent purchased mine yet and i am not sure what size to get or what size is allowed. as you can tell we are first timers

[aphrael]

Um ... I don't remember. 10x10, maybe?

The important part is a tarp or something to hang on the south && east sides to block the morning sunlight.

[cswilson97]

i have a huge tarp that i will bring as well as getting the canopy this will be great

[slapuinpublic]

So very, very, true....I have never camped at Coach, but I have camped in Joshua Tree nearby and the morning sun is no joke

I'll be getting a canopy too. we'll have to see what the space looks like when we get there. typical spaces are 8x8, but we'll all be sharing 8x8 spaces so we'll have room to mix and match.

if you have two people with passes I think your space can technically be 8x16

woooooooooooo

[goodbye mexico]

So I'm not so sure about the whole Flying Solo Group, I get the feeling I probably won't get in but at the same time I think groups will intermingle and whatnot and share and yay good times. ANYWAY.

Name: Ricky Martinez
When you'll be arriving: Around 7:30 to 8 PM on Thursday night.
Where you are coming from: Orange County (Specifically Garden Grove)
How long you are staying: Till Monday morning
Anything special you can contribute to the group: Definitely some snacks and water (graham crackers, some mixed nuts, fruit mothafuckin roll ups. If someone brings an ice chest we could just toss a bunch of water in there)

[pash_87]

i haven't had roll ups since they banned them in Australia!

[slapuinpublic]

there will be lots of water bottles in my ice chest, but fortunately, very few will be filled with water

I just PM'd you Ricky

you're right it's going to be an orgy of camping groups which sounds to be a great fucking time

[didimydoe3]

did you get my info!?

do you need cell numbers or anything of the sort?

[slapuinpublic]

Got it...I'll add you to the list

18 people in 31 hours, not bad....does anyone think we should have a size limit?

The more the merrier I think.It shouldn't get too huge this late any ways but maybe some peoples plans fell through. Just found out my sister is coming down from Frisco and is camping too!! Should be a good time. I'll have a canopy as well so we should be pretty set up for the mornings.

[kels22]

I'd like to join. I'm apart of the unofficial camp group, but no ones responding sooo,
name: kelsey
I'll be arriving thursday afternoon
coming from seattle
i'm staying till Mon. morning
and i can contribute my easy going personality,
woop woop!

[kels22]

Oh, and are you still offering a ride, slapyouinthepublic. I really need to find one, thanks!

[slapuinpublic]

gotcha down kelsey....as far as the ride....I've got 4 in the car now (incl myself) 5 wouldn't kill, it's a big car, but what time will you be in town? (LAX?) I need to be at the campground as early as possible to organize and set up and I have one person to pick up at LAX at 11am.

[aphrael]

As for size limit, the real limit is how much time/energy you're willing to put into organizing; the more people there are, the more it's gonna eat up your Thursday.

[nebjiman]

Sign me up Slap U.

I'll be arriving after dark on Thursday from AZ with a guest. I'm also bringing a kickball, bases, and all the gear to make a glow in the dark game.

I'll have some food and hopefully a smuggled bottle of whiskey. If it smells like poop, don't ask.

[slapuinpublic]

we'll be good, I don't have anything to do until the filter party that night...I feel kinda bad that I'll be gone the first night so everybody signup for their newsletter. Free Booze, Free Music, even a Free Ride:

i am going to this filter party with you... right after you put up my tent.

[slapuinpublic]

you may need to help me with MINE! You should have seen the state of confusion I was in trying to put up one of my old ones.

In my defense tho it was very old and very shitty. The one i'll be bringing is newer

Nice!!! You're in fo sho.

I'll PM you my contact info.

[goodbye mexico]

Yeah I'll need help with my tent too, haha.

And I don't know if I'll need to sneak into this Filter party or not

[slapuinpublic]

Towards next week I am going to figure out how we are going block the sun for the most people that we can. I know that a lot of us locals are bringing canopies. Tying tarps to the south and east sides of the canopy helps block the sun, but I was thinking we might be able to engineer something like this:

I'll know more once I price out some supplies in the next couple of days.

Two weeks at this time and we'll be setting up shop!!!!!!!!

[kels22]

11 at LAX would be great!!
