d00d, the way coachella usually goes is that we get there around 11am, then spend 6 hours crawling from water stand to shady area to water stand, then when the sun goes down take some pills and then ache for about 2 days straight.





d00d!!!! I just realized, I'm gonna make a fortune peddling 'Whirly and Jeanie Pajama Party Pillow Fight' Pics!!!



sweeeeeeeeeeeeet... thank god for that 512mb flash video card.

shit, fuck just pitching in for the room, if you want in to the motel, males are paying a premium!

8O it sounds so tempting to go right now.........i should have enough money since my b-day is in early april



Dream on:



instead of flying or taking greyhound, what i really wanna do is a "road trip"....take two weeks off and drive myself west and see some of the country that ive never seen before, meet everyone at coachella, hook up with 8 chicks, and then drive back home......anyone wanna particapate in an adventure? The Crysler Lebaron (Convertible ;-) ) leaves on 23rd of April and hopefully makes it back on May 7th



:Dream Off

X-D X-D X-D



if u sell enough youll be able to reimbusre me n glyn for our flights across the atlantic ;)



or alternatively u can just buy us some beer instead :P

Whirly and stash , you know bout me for the room , i'm easy. if you guys can take an air matras with you or whatever i can even crash on the floor. Or blankets whatever.



Peeps i'm only going to coa for one day like Whirly and Stash- i am so bad in hot wheater. I have a fucking low blood pressure and i think one dya will be enough for me cause else i might get sick so i'm taking it easy sheazy. I dont like big crowds anyways for a long time.



MC MASRH FUCKING LEGEND!



Oooooooow and FINALLY people...The Whirly and The Jeanie are gonna meet. I think i'm gonna cry when we meet !! Awwww X-D



FUCKING A! B!! C!!!!!! Whatever.

hahaha the emotional meet up, it's so... so... such a girlie affair. But nothing too dramatic, I don't do well with public displays of drama no matter what the emotion (unless I'm in a blind fit of anger, but I don't think that'll be happening!) Then, if our conversations on chat or the phone are any indication of what's in store in a couple months... lots of giggling, lack of sleep and finally I can learn how to properly say "Eat Shit" in Dutch... Yep. stash is going to roll his eyes so much they'll end up sticking to the back of his eye sockets by the time the weekend's over.



I bet he can't wait!!! }:-)

you know, I don't consider my life that extremely exciting or entertaining, but somehow my apartment has become the Amesterdam of the West.

I know I'm drunk right now, but you all must witness Fatboy on Saturday and Underworld on Sunday.



Seriously.



No, really.





X-D

having seen both of those acts recently avoid fatboy at all costs . underworld are superb live on the other hand

MC MASRH FUCKING LEGEND!

Yeah!! X-D ;-)

Only Saturday.



I can't hack both days and since I work Monday, I will need Sunday to recover.

lightweight :P ;) just go to work off yer chops itll be fine ;)



so whats the festie like then whirly? ive checked out some of the rules and it seemes a bit heavy :? it is free for all fun or is it a bit more regulated than that? how does it compare to say burning man?



the other thing is, if we stay in palm springs, is it a long way from indio to there? will there be cabs n shit after the festival?



fuckin hell im excited. hah! :D

Palm Springs is 25 miles away, but they're desert miles, the speed limit out there is like 75mph, so it takes no time to get to the festival... it ALWAYS takes 2 hours to get out of the parking lot, so coming back is always a bitch.



As for how it compares to Burning Man, it doesn't. The camping is outside the venue, and they are absolute bitches about security. You defintately want to get yourself sorted before you get inside, but leave that detail to me. Inside, it usually isn't a problem to blaze a spliff, but you do have to be alert for security guards. There really aren't that many, considering the size of the place, and you can always find an isolated corner.

ahhh right so its seperate arena/camping stylee. sounds quite simillar to reading festival.



whats the production values like? do they have mad decor and shit or is it just a few stages in a field?



so many questions! sorry im feelin inquisitive today :)

There's one big stage, one slightly smaller stage, and 2 smaller tents then 1 huge tent.



The field is all grass, like 3 or 4 miles across, and laid out in the middle they have all sorts of whacked out art projects, giant tesla coils shooting purple lightning bolts into the sky, interactive percussion sculptures, sometimes they have robots eating cars, things like that.



and the food, while usually pricey, is usually pretty good. They have curries and vegan crap, like a hippy carnival.

yeh food is always a rip off at festivals tbh. still much easier to buy there than make a packed lunch or something hahaha.



robots eating cars - nice. sounds good. i love random shit at festivals, at one last year my mate went to they gave away 2000 hula hopos for free - the whole site was wandering round trying to hula X-D

Mkay i'm just doing the saturday aswel , have to figure out what Luna is doing!

Not unless we can sneak into the backstage area like we did last time. ;) That was pure luck - thanking one of the Chems' roadies which was cool plus watch them push those boxes. It sure beat the hell out of sitting in the parking lot!!

stash is right. Burning Man is a whole different ball game and more a free-for-all not a controlled environment like Coachella. Security at Coachella takes for_e-verrrrrrrrrrrrr... They do just about everything short of a crevice check. However there is the benefit of being older like me, nobody gives me much of a hard time at Coachella and I've experienced tighter security at the same venue but for a different event. At any rate, you keep what you need to in your wallet hint hint. Security is *not* allowed to poke around your wallet under any circumstances and neither are the undercover cops (who are identifiable by their colored wrist bands) without a warrant or due cause.



They will frisk you and if there's stuff in your pockets they will ask you to empty them out.



There are also the police dogs roaming around too but to be honest I've never seen them actually sniff and catch anyone including some of teh crustier types who looked and smelled like they crawled out from under a hydroponics lab.



Security's pretty strict about you bringing in SLR cameras, recording devices, larger backpacks, umbrellas (not allowed), chains, pocket knives, or open bottles of stuff like hand sanitizer (which I hand still sealed in the package I bought it in so that was OK).



But man, Electronic Battle Warrior managed to sneak in an entire mini-recording studio last time we were there. How he pulled that one off was truly an amazing feat of legendary proportions. If anyone can tell you how to sneak something in, Electronic Battle Warrior's your man! X-D

Yeah, EBW was packing some serious junk in the trunk. He had everything short of a Mexican immigrant and a jacuzzi tub.



Mips, you and Glyn better be coming to both days! It was still fun by myself on the Sunday, but not nearly as (at least until the Prodigy). Same goes for Marsh if you're coming!



And I would very much like to try some backstage adventuring again if possible.

Just been looking at the Ticket page, 'Will Call' is that basically just picking up your ticket at the venue on the day?
