How many days should Coachella 2008 be

[kroqken]

Here is a poll for how many days Coachella 2008 should be?

[miscorrections]

this is off topic but hi ken! you shared water with me at hot chip.

[SojuGorae]

Tree days is good

[wisconsinboozer]

a week would be nuts

[Boourns]

Two really amazing days. Three days is too long to inhale all that dead grass, dust, and whatever poison was in the air this year. Nothing is worth being sick for over two weeks.

[bballarl]

Three days was fine by me.

[rage patton]

I am tempted to say a week. That would be amazing. But in all seriousness, I will say 3.
This was my first year, and after day 2 all I could think was... thank god they added a third day! After 2 days all I wanted was more. After 3 days all I wanted was sleep and a bed... and water.

[Caitlin]

Three. By the morning of the fourth day I'm ready to go home. Of course, by the time I get home, I want to go back.

[tricorne]

From a camping perspective, I could definitely go for an extra day or two. I always feel like it's a bit of a waste to go through setting up a tent and a little mini habitat for just three days. If I had been staying there for four days and five nights I would also have made more of an effort to set up a nice camping spot, with a shade awning and maybe a camping pad (my friend and I had a tent and sleeping bags and nothing else. No pillows or anything). It would have meant more to carry, but ultimately being more comfortable as well.

3 or more....im just thinking of the fun i had after the show and before the show with my friends...a week of that would be awesome

[kroqken]

I still think Coachella needs to experiment with the 4 day thing. I am trying to remember who I shared water with at Hot Chip.

[miscorrections]

i was on your left, on the barrier, wearing a blue dress.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Some people fucking work for a living.

As much as I would like to spend 4 or more days at Coachella, I am going with 3 days out of respect for my body.

Lack of sleep, constant intoxication, visual/audio overload, dehydration, physical exhaustion and intense weather can only be tolerated for so long, in my opinion, three days.

If there was a guarantee that the weather would stay in the upper 80's/low 90's, I could possibly handle more.

[kroqken]

I think I remember handing you water. Do you go to UCSD?

[miscorrections]

yes.

[kroqken]

Also, if Coachella is so great (and it is), why not have more of a great thing? Four days would sell out and it would give us musiceads a chance to see even MORE great bands.

[kroqken]

I feel dumb. I wanted to talk to miscorrections but she was talking to that dude from Ohio who never heard of Tower Records.

[kroqken]

At least I was altruistic enough to give her some of my water. I think I gave it to her first everytime.

[miscorrections]

i was? i do not remember said dude.
but srsly that water more or less saved my life.

[kroqken]

Well, I have a kind heart. That is why I am a liberal.

[kroqken]

I also hope you appreciate that I saved your life.

[psychic friend]

i dont think we could handle more than 3 days. im still recovering.

[suprefan]

You had double duty though PF, Stagecoach right after just fried your brain.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Both Dave Wang and I were pretty wiped and zombie-esque on Sunday this year. Then again, we blew up like a nuclear RAVE bomb on Saturday.

[kroqken]

We are (mostly) adults on here and those of us who want to have it 4 days should have that option. There are so many bands that need to be heard plus the Coachella environment is wonderful enough to sustain another day.

[kroqken]

At least no one voted for Coachella being just one day (so far).

[djoz187]

3 days was fine, I didn't think I would be able to do it after being so tired from 2 days last year but I did it...my feet and legs were swollen tho, it looked like I had kankles for like 2 days, it was unreal!

[kroqken]

4 days will be such an awesome experience. GV should just roll the dice and just do it. I hope Paul Tollett will consider this position. I still claim credit from a couple of years ago when I lobbied Coachella on a message board thread to switch their food court booths from Coke to Pepsi after Coachella 2005, and in 2006 and 2007 Coachella served Pepsi products.

[kroqken]

I even see there is over one fifth of you that want Coachella to be a whole week. I think I would stil be happy with a mere 4 days for now.
