Protip: If you have to poop in the port o potties, do it early in the morning. Anytime after 11, and it turns into a poop sauna.
I agreed with everything except this. If part of ones festival experience is to dress up in shit that others consider outlandish/weird/"clowny", as long as it's not affecting you, what's the point in commenting on it? I think a better way to phrase this is to say something to the effect of "If you're going to go all out/dress up, ensure that you are able to move freely, will not overheat/freeze, and will NOT become a physical or visual obstacle to those standing around/behind you."13. don't be the clown - don't dress to be 'seen' ....go to the show....don't try to be the show. This is my personal opinion....some people feel the need to be looked at and have to be the center of attention....I advise don't. If our crew rolled up and were meeting someone and they were clowned up...we'd ditch em. It's like going to an NFL game, don't face paint.
*shrugs* The kind of people who are going to dress up probably wouldn't want to hang out with a group of people who don't want them around simply because they decided that dressing up is how THEY totally immerse themselves into a festival. :-) Enjoy your Coachella, as I will certainly enjoy mine!

Don't sit anywhere near the fences by the washroom areas. With the long lines, people piss on and around those fences all night long.

There is always free water stations so bring your own reusable bottle. Make sure it can clip onto your bag or clothes so you aren't lugging it around and don't lose it
if you go early enough you can catch them right after they've just been cleaned. WORTH IT!
Agreed. Do whatever you want as long as you're not getting in anyone's way or preventing them from having fun. Last year there were two girls standing in the front of a stage putting on fake eyelashes. I don't care that they wore them, but they were standing in a great spot putting on fucking eyelashes.

2012 was my second Coachella, and I went weekend 2, which means I saw 106 degree heat on Saturday. The one thing that saved mine and all my friends asses was a thing called a Frog Tog. It's a towel/fabric thing that keeps moisture locked in. Basically, I would buy a powerade from the carts on a hot day and ask if I could dunk my Tog into their ice water for a tip. They always said yes. It would be ice cold and stay cool for 4 hours. This thing is a MUST. Seriously, you won't regret buying it. You can find them at the Wal Mart on the way in.
do you think its worth getting a locker even if you have onsite camping?
I always camp and never rent a locker. Just don't bring in things you don't need. (Do you really need your camera, phone, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, spray bottle, water bottle, fan, Kleenex, extra batteries, a small pharmacy and face paint at all times?) As long as you get there at a reasonable time you'll be camped close enough to go back during the day if you need anything.
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
lol til other people on the same frequency as you tell you to come somewhere none of your friends will be, plus
instead, .....
and be prepared so that when things dont go as planned, you can embrace it and have an even better time than you imagined
Watch at least one sunrise.
Disagree with #13...It's a festival. Be wild, dress crazy, dye your hair purple, dance around in the camp ground with a stereo on your shoulder and start a fuckin conga line. If you aren't here to have fun, don't fuckin come!
This sounds like magic. I distrust it, and distrust you.
But try not to have so much fun on any day other than the last that you ruin the next one!
Or just do what I did last year, and convince your friend to take his bag in full of empty water bottles. Queue up once, 10 bottles of water, none of the carrying it around nonsense.

If it looks cold or rainy, you can get cheap disposable ponchos that will keep you warm going to the car.
Get a locker and share it with friends. The medium will hold allot of stuff for 3 or 4 people. And it's cheaper to share.
Let one person keep the key in a safe spot. Pass it around and it will disappear along with your deposit.

how much space should you allot per person if you share it 3-4 ways?
Great list will bookmarkif I forgot Benadryl i would be so angry lol and I bet I would have that grass is gonna make me so ichy
If you car camp, don't decide to turn on your car and sit in a nice AC cooled car. Yes, it is nice to feel cool but your neighbors are getting choked.
No matter how cute she is please don't put her on your shoulders. SURE, she can see but it just pisses off everyone who is now staring at the back of a bitch-pole. So annoying.[/QUOTE]
