Yeah! He was out in the smoking area. I also talked to Worthy too, because I got there early for the free vodka bar and they were all just hanging out by the booth. That was suchhhh a fun show. I was kinda bummed I missed J Phlip though, she was supposed to go on at 2 and hadn't gone on yet by 2:45 when I left. I had been there since 9, dancing my ass off, and I was just too tired to stay.
I spoke with my friend who works at the agency that does bookings for Dirtybird yesterday. He said the following when I asked "So dirty bird at Coachella not happening ?"
"Not that I know
Maybe a couple at do lab
Noone big tho
Or Heineken dome"
As for their quarterly party at the Mezzanine for bay area people- they are looking to make that into a monthly
Eh, RA loves Eats Everything so I'm not sure if your point holds. He's big... but if there is going to be a dirtybird curated stage I'd see why he wouldn't be on the poster, because he could be a big selling point for that stage. He has been getting real big real fast lately. His set at Public Works before Thanksgiving was great.

Come on, dude. You know the answer to that is no. What I am saying isn't that I wouldn't/won't enjoy the sets of those artists, it's just a continued trend that GV doesn't and hasn't for a while booked an impressive or forward thinking Sahara lineup in a while. And to pretend otherwise is silly.

My friend summed up the bookings for coachella's deeper side of electronic as just "an insomniac techno stage" and lazy...i'd say that's sorta accurate with the exceptions of a few, but it's still an improvement over last year's sahara obviously
I'd like to make sure I follow:
1) Eats Everything is popular
2) He would be a big "selling point" for the hypothetical Dirtybird-curated stage, which is theoretically a stage at Coachella.
3) People will have to buy a Coachella ticket to see this hypothetical Dirtybird stage.
4) Eats Everything is not on the poster which lists the acts that are playing at Coachella.
5) Leaving him off of the poster benefits the Dirtybird stage because ____________________.
They are all going to be there...I just hope they make the tent big enough...
I just hope they realize how many people are going to trying to see their shows...could be the best stage of the weekend.
Well, if he is going, he's either going to be at Do Lab or the theoretical dirtybird stage, obviously. If not, then he won't be there, because he's not on the poster. And for both of those stages, you don't want them to be empty like the dome was in '11. So it makes sense to me. He's a huge rising star right now. And it's not like Coachella needs incentive for people to buy tickets, it's going to sell out. So why not put him on the theoretical dirtybird stage...
Which looks increasingly like it's not going to happen, so it's probably a moot point anyway.
