You are planning on seeing Eliza Doolittle and Ellie Goulding, so your Sunday certainly won't be awesome.

Goulding looked solid on Kimmel last night. As for Eliza, call it a fetish for britt pop.

[Sexecutioner]

i've been thinking the same thing. seems like they are going above and beyond to make this year insanely awesome after last years clusterfuck. cant fuckin wait. one week!

[EmLeaux]

If there's one thing GV has a lot of after last year, it's straight cash money. It would appear that they are putting their financial gains to good use by making sure 2011 is nowhere near as disorganized as 2010.

i like your enthusiasm kid

[loubque]

I love the spirit of this thread. SO much better than the "Oh my passes came late, that means this whole year is gonna be the most unorganized clusterfuck".

thanks to this board i am sick of the word clusterfuck.

Nguyening!

[Mucho Maas]

bahahahaha, jake that has to be the word of the weekend.

[luckyface]

After last year, I have decided to approach this year with guarded optimism. I am hoping for the best, but I have my doubts. I am encouraged by the new features.

[furnace]

I wholeheartedly agree with the statements in this thread.

[heyeric]

Yum..... Muti Randolph

[Stickjohn]

I'll add:
- more activities in the Campgrounds
- only $5 to have a VIP shower you

And one we're not talking about nearly enough:

- MINIMAL INCREASES IN PRICES

example: camping in 2008 was $55 PER PERSON for a pretty small spot. Car camping this year is $75 PER SPACE, and that's a 10 x 30 spot where you can squeeze in as many people as you can fit.

[HandBanana]

Honestly, I feel very good about this year going in.
Last year wasnt an unsalvageable disaster but it was easily my least favorite (of 7) Coachellas and the one that felt the least like Coachella. It might as well have been shitty Lollapalooza.

This time I really do see a ton of signs pointing to GV really trying to make this not only as good as it was but even better.

I am very psyched.

[Tandemind]

^ Agreed. Last year sucked (relatively).

This year's bound to be amazing (in comparison).

[koryp]

Without even having my wristband in yet, this thread managed to raise my enthusiasm.
OMFGchella!!!!!

[Antoine3323]

Thank you for finally bringing some positive energy back to the boards!! I dont think Ive ever been more excited for anything...ever! GV, even with all the wristband issues, seems to be really doing their best to improve upon last year's problems

It was $55 for layaway.

[nationocean]

we'll just have to wait and see how this year turns out won't we?

[RobertGoulet]

Amen brother.

[Stickjohn]

It was $55 for layaway.

good point; I'm not that familiar with layaway. Camping is such a deal. And look at what they've none with the price of water since 1999. Nothing.

The fancy wristband packaging deserves to be on that list too. People were thrilled when that stuff came out. (And yes I don't expect to get any of it but it was still a positive addition. I don't get to hear all the bands I want to either.)

[ArcadeParade]

HIGH anticipation from where I'm sittin Cannot wait for next week!

[SoccerRyot]

Staying positive!

[Fourthisto]

$5 VIP showers

I still don't get this, do we get to choose the VIP we get to shower with, or is it just random selection?

You are planning on seeing Eliza Doolittle and Ellie Goulding, so your Sunday certainly won't be awesome.

Haha! Boooooooooooooooooooom!

[M Sparks]

And a solid lineup

The fact that the lineup is an afterthought on your list says a lot. This is the least excited I've ever been about a lineup. But Coachella is not about the lineup to me, it's about the overall experience. And all signs point to an awesome experience this year.

[sleepybrew]

Winning thread. Can't wait to party with all of you in less than a week!
