There's a ton more but I have a shitty memory.... I don't remember a lot of the weekend now that I think about it

Meeting and hanging out with the lot of you made my Coachella experience infinitely more fun. Thank you All of PAW, you guys are a blast. Party all weekend indeed.

Saturday was pure awesome because practically the whole board met up for Calexico (which were terrific!) and did a beautiful pyramid with Brandon on top!!


I lost my camera if you have any pictures, please post them

[sonofhal]

Your memory is terrible. No In-N-Out for you this year.

[kitt kat]

Barbara, I got picked up and spun around by you

I actually met people this year! Wooo! Off the top of my head:

Matt (betao)
Rage patton
Donaldj
Menik
Corinna
Bmack
Souldischarge
Tommy
Salah
Supre
And someone at BJM who laughed when they found out I was me and ran away (I don't remember you; make yrself known)

I also saw a ton a people during my wanderings...pretty sure I saw Gunz, Pixiessp, Passive, ivankay, feather, and a collected group in the campgrounds one morning (I turned the other way and ran from you all...sorry)

I have some LOLz pics of various people wearing my sunglasses and doing their best Kitt Kat.

[stuporfly]

I only met a few of you...

rscapkat (& her husband) - I'd planned on meeting them anyway, but before I could make arrangements, we ran into one another on Friday. They were every bit as lovely as I'd imagined they'd be. And I got some bonus time as I ran into them at Palm Springs Airport an hour ago while I was returning my rental car (I don't leave until tomorrow morning).

rage patton - Spotted him at the Outdoor Theatre before Band of Horses and said hello. I'm a tall guy, but he's super tall. And super friendly, too.

I saw a few others in the throngs - DrinkyMcDrinkerstein and Passive Theory among them (though not together, lest any rumors get started) - but I wasn't in a good spot to introduce myself.

Maybe next year I'll do a better job of it. I was technically working, and was with a friend (plus my daughter on Friday) so it wasn't ideal.

[cansei de ser sexme]

Whoever shook hands with me on the way out of friendly fires I am sincerely sorry for being a bastard and not talking to you. I was with my family and didnt want it to be weird. I met Lee at the picture thing but didnt end up in the picture myself. I also met some other people there. I also saw lee and neutral milk hotel(dont know your name) at okkervill river. then I saw lee again right next to me at antony and the johnsons. Then I saw lee one last time at EDC like one person over. I snapped some pics of some boardies so beware!

[bmack86]

I know there were more of you, but off the top of my head I can't remember

[kreutz2112]

I pretty much met every single person from the board that matters. Except dani. I'll post a list later.

[suprefan]

Dani was at the group photo, if you missed out that was yoru shot. always next year. And yeah, crazy year meeting everyone.

[pancakespancakes]

I met herro kitty during the Chemical Brothers!

I also got to meet both Dani and Randy this weekend, so I guess my life is complete now...

[mountmccabe]

And someone at BJM who laughed when they found out I was me and ran away (I don't remember you; make yrself known)

This was not me but apparently I was behind you for somebody in the Mojave, maybe BJM. I was wearing my yellow This Will Destroy You shirt. I would not have believed this but I did not recognize you. Otherwise I would've said hi.

[mountmccabe]

Also I met a bunch of people for the first time this year

kreutz2112
roberto73
Cpt Funkaho
Rage Patton
Soul Discharge
Betao
feather - my sig no longer badmouths plur; I hope it is acceptable

It was good to meet all of you!

stuporfly I saw you and your daughter on Friday but we were in a hurry by the time it dawned on me who you were we were gone.

I might've seen Pixiessp in the Lobby one day but again I was too slow to say anything, partially because I wasn't sure.

There were a few other people that looked familiar but I wasn't even to the point of having a guess at a username or even being certain that y'all were from the board.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I can't make a list because I'll forget too many people but...

ALGUNZ was the best meet up ever!

[bmack86]

This was not me but apparently I was behind you for somebody in the Mojave, maybe BJM. I was wearing my yellow This Will Destroy You shirt. I would not have believed this but I did not recognize you. Otherwise I would've said hi.

You had already moved on by the time she came and talked with us, John.

[mountmccabe]

You had already moved on by the time she came and talked with us, John.

I saw all of BJM. I hung out with y'all during the set break and then moved up once the band started.


Also, Bryan, I have some choice photos of you from that set break, right after Fucked Up.

[TomAz]

I met a ton of people this year. If I try to list them all I will for sure leave a few people off and hurt feelings and I don't want to do that. I'd rather hurt your feelings by ridiculing your board posts.

I did finally get to meet Dani, which was awesome, but I probably ruined it by complaining about Friday night's parking lot fiasco. Sorry Dani, didn't mean to unload on you. You're really cool.

[Gribbz]

I met a good amount.

Tommy, faxman, betao, kingsblend, kinda blue, passive, menik, Barbara, hung out with feather virtually the whole weekend.

Cansei walked by before something in one of the tents and I didn't say hi because the towel connection only dawned on me afterwards.

I am probably forgetting some people. It is nothing personal. I am tired and still trying to process the weekend. It's pretty remarkable that everyone I have met from the board has been cool in real life.

I saw you too. I kept looking back to see if you were going to turn around. I should have just backtracked and said Hi. Sorry i didn't.

[stuporfly]

stuporfly I saw you and your daughter on Friday but we were in a hurry by the time it dawned on me who you were we were gone.

You know something, I thought I saw you twice during the festival as well, but the same thing happened. I got around 100 feet away and said, "I think that was..."

Next year, perhaps.

[Gribbz]

Sorry we couldn't meet up Joan. I thought I'd see ya around.

[Pixiessp]

It was a hectic weekend to be sure. Next time.

[Sushov23]

I met Bmack and his dad, really great talking to you man. I took your last minute advice and saw MBV(wow). I also met Bballar for a quick second. I met Tomaz, and he is a nice guy. I did see some other board members running around.

[Gribbz]

oh yeah, and WhyTheLong face stayed in our condo. Cool cat.

[stuporfly]

oh yeah, and WhyTheLong face stayed in our condo. Cool cat.

I saw him at one point yesterday, as well. He was moving away from one of the stages at a very determined clip.

[WhyTheLongFace]

What does clip mean? Im guessing fast. So if you saw me at the end I was racing to the parking lot cause my friend was sick if during the day probably running from YYY's to LOTP.

And yea stayed with forz and dale. Saw feather a few times. Met Vinly marty and jello pudding. Umm one guy I saw 2x but I dont know his SN but he remembed me, sorry.

[suprefan]

Crazy meeting was with Caco (ronnie) I was leaving antony and he tracks me down, insane. Awesome dude, see ya next year? And also finding one of the tiny needles in the haystack, KittKat. Oh and the encounter I had with Randy was interesting to say the least.

[Pixiessp]

I am exhausted so i have a feeling i am going to forget someone.

Bmack(we met but it was sooo brief and rushed i wondered if i should have re-introduced myself.)

Also saw Algunz speeding off to either the Mojave or Sahara. She almost ran me over. ha ha ha!

Saw MountMcCabe walking out of main area towards the merchandise booth.

Also met Paulb(we talked about the Beastie Boys and the Pixies)
Met Menikmati (told him i liked the owl shirt)

[algunz]

I don't remember any of it or any of you.

As always, the best weekend of my life.



Sorry Pixie, if I had seen you I would have tackled you.

[humanoid]

I saw several people, most notably Passive, CSS and RagePatton, but was too busy running around trying to meet up with my various groups of friends to meet anyone...next year, i will have to make a point of it(although I think this every year)
