[unitedwestand]

going to be in the premiere camping ground. me n a buddy r hoping to bring a keg in or at least shit ton of beer for 1st night for pong and other crap, everyone is welcome so bring ur asses over! (Hear bringing booz is alot easier in the premiere camping)

[Munneh]

You wish, hotstuff. Domestic tallboys are 11 and imports are 12.

I'll be there in premiere!

I haven't even THOUGHT about my schedule yet.

I think vending prices were around the same as Coachella... seems like beers were $6-8ish. But, IIRC, they had a beer tent with more beer selections. Some of them very decent. Though more money. And also have a booze club house thing with liquor. You can't take the liquor out of that facility, but you can carry your beers around. They also had frozen margaritas which were not very strong but were incredible on the one day that was hot.

[unitedwestand]

im still debating on NIN or Of Montreal-Fuck.

[chiapet]

Shit, was it that expensive? I guess maybe I was getting standard sized cups. I do remember the better stuff from the beer garden being a lot more. I mostly drank strawberry margaritas.

I think all 3. I need to figure out how I am doing this because I really want to see Moderat on Friday in LA, but my group wants to be at the hotel Friday night.

[ZonkerB]

I'll be @ the Gorge in Premier, +3 this time, though 2 won't be able to get in from Seattle 'til Saturday. My s.o. and I are hoping to arrive close to noon on Friday.

Would love to run into Chia-, Fax-, Kare-, Agadio, and all other Coachella peeps! Am thinking the setup will be a lot different than Coachella - hope I'll have room to set up the big carcamping tent (aka, the Condo).

Of Montreal is my must-see, NIN be damned. Thinking my s.o. will be taking in Reznor and can tell me all 'bout it *sigh* -sacrifices must be made.

Can't wait!!!

[chiapet]

Definitely! I still have your # in my phone so I will track you down... if we don't just run into you in Premier. It sounds like it's a small-ish area and at least 20 of those spots have been taken by coachella board people.

We're all flying in so I don't know how much gear we'll have, last year I kept it pretty minimal for Sasquatch (a duffel bag and a backpack). Quite different than my haul for Coachella.

Of Montreal is a must see for me too! One of the main reasons why I'm headed back this year.

[fikus222]

I am going with my wife and my best friend, who's flying up from SF. We are staying in the GA/Main Campgrounds. We are totally down to meet up with boardies

My schedule:

Saturday: Champagne Champagne, Owl City, Passion Pit, King Khan & The Shrines, Animal Collective, Sun Kil Moon, The Decemberists, Mos Def, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Crystal Castles...Conflicts to be sorted day of, but I will probably skip Sun Kil Moon and Mos Def.

Sunday: Street Sweeper, Japandroids, Calexico, The Builders And The Butchers, The Submarines, Zach Galifianakis, M83, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Deadmau5...Conflicts to be sorted day of, but I will probably skip Jane's and maybe all of M83 (I'd rather have a close spot for NIN).

Monday: Heartless Bastards, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Santigold, School Of Seven Bells, Gogol Bordello, Demetri Martin, Silversun Pickups, Girl Talk, Tobacco, Explosions In The Sky, Chromeo (DJ Set)...I will probably have to skip Gogol to see Demetri Martin

you are from utah. where at in utah? are you flying or driving?

driving from downtown Slick City - at least it's a prettier drive than the drive to Indio

[unitedwestand]

biggest conflicts for me R: Kings of Leon VS Crystal Castles, The Decemberists VS Ra Ra Riot, Of Montreal VS NIN VS M83, TV on the Radio VS Airborne Toxic Event. Any suggestions from you guys?

[karecares]

i try to figure out who will possibly be touring in you area before deciding. i saw ra ra riot open for i think it was vampire weekend, they were a fun and energetic set but i wouldn't call them a must see. i've seen airborne toxic twice i think they put on a good show. boring to watch but great sound esp with the violins and such. i can personally take or leave totr

[smokealotapotamus]

Hey there, it's been a while. I've been lurking for the past few years and suddenly feel the need to chime in and say hello. I really havn't wanted to be a part of any conversation due to a. my rediculous screen name and b. I never came through with a pic of the built to spill shirt that psychic friend had sent to me, and felt really guilty... so I ran away like a dumb animal.

When it comes down to it, I miss you characters, and I'll also be going to sasquatch (with a crew of 20+ collectively from around the NW).

I'll be general camping from friday to tuesday.

[fikus222]

I posted this in the other thread, but it bears repeating:

My friend is a slacker so now I get to track down tickets for him.

Does anybody have any extra tickets? A 3 day bundle would be awesome.

[karecares]

so are those of us in the premier section arriving fridayish going to try to actually camp together? is that even possible given you park next to your tent ?

[faxman75]

I would think we would want to or have to drive in together to camp next to eachother. I have never camped in Premier though and I don't know how it works.

[chiapet]

I'm going to summon invisiblerobots by mentioning his name.

Was premier camping small? It would seem so by how quickly the tickets sell out. I was assuming we'll be camping "near" each other due to the size of the section, though probably not "next to" each other.

Karen, I think we're arriving quite a few hours after you -- probably 1AM or later?

[fhaa2000]

I'll leave early saturday from seattle to george, I'll have 1 or 2 spots and I can also share a premier camping pass... post me if you're interested... see ya there!!

What time are you leaving from Seattle?

[miraj]

I'm going with my girlfriend. Premier camping. If anyone needs a ride out from Seattle Saturday morning let me know!

[fikus222]

Alrighty, mini crisis has been averted. My friend now has his plane tickets and tickets to all 3 days

Just caught this chia. Premier is somewhat small compared to the acres that they have for the regular camping. You can walk across the whole area in about 5 minutes so finding people is fairly easy. This is going under the assumption that they haven't expanded the premier area from what they had last year, of course. It's a fenced in area just to the right of the main entrance, which makes for easy arrival/departures as well as convenient access for the shuttle bus.
