Coachella -- it's official

[Flightpath]

Here it is and it's smokin' hot! I could have gone for some more DJ's (not that I am complaining about Laurent, Sander, The Orb, Richard Fearless, etc.) but I know they're easily added at the last minute so fingers crossed. DJ's not withstanding there is some incredible music awaiting those of us lucky enough to be there. Cannot wait...

[Felix]

sweet. for the peeps that went last year, do you recommend camping or hotel?

[CTvlock]

FSOL is something i've been waiting forever to see...I like the lineup, but it seems most of the acts I want to see are on Saturday with only a handful on Sunday

Not to worry. We work with the same visas expediter as Laurent and I can assure you he is all sorted on that side of things.

i'm sure the camping is an experience on its own, but you're probably going to need to rent a car anyway, so i'd say just get a hotel. the days are fabulous but exhausting and long, so you may want a good night's sleep either friday or sat night. also the hotels have pools and it's gorgeous outside, so you might want to enjoy that as well.

once you get there, you're not going to care if it's me up there banging on pots and pans or if it's a headlining act. the atmosphere is so fantastic and there is so much to see on top of the performers. the people watching alone is great- last year there was a man on stilts, a dude wearing a tank on his head, semi naked people everywhere... you will not be bored for a second on sunday.

yeah, you're right, I won't be bored and I'll have a good time...there are just some acts that I really want to see and I hope I don't have to miss any

[La Troya]

OMG OMG OMG!

Pixies. Must go.

Only issue is that this weekend is right before finals week.
I think that I don't care :D

[Walfredo]

Looks heavenly - this is in California, right? Where exactly?

[Felix]

Looks heavenly - this is in California, right? Where exactly?

SoCal. 3 hours west of LA. By Palm Springs.

Elle- Thanks for the 411.

Yeh, Pixies back together.

I checked out their website, didn't see the orb listed. Not like that's going to stop me from going, but it would be a super fluffy bonus for me. Where'd ya hear that they were playing at Coachella? :confused:

They were listed on a lineup that was emailed to me by Goldenvoice, who produces and promotes the event. I notice they're absent on the site now, as well. Hmmm...I know these lineups are never set in stone but I do hope Dr. Alex and his bag o' tricks are out in the desert.

[the video kid]

it would be super dope if they played, I friggin' LOVE the orb, but if they didn't, i'm sure we'd all be having a blast anyway! :beer:

[Maudib]

WOW! This looks so fuckn cool!
Post reports and pics guys.

[Flightpath]

A word of advice to those planning on making the desert trek...

Goldenvoice has already sold over 47,000 tickets. Last year at this time they'd sold well less than 10,000. They're planning on doing 50,000 for both days and then capping it so as to preserve the manageability of the event.

Odds are they'll be all gone before March is up so if you already know you're going to be there, get your tix before it's too late.

[possibly_maybe]

Lordy, they just went on sale this past weekend!!!

Ugh... so much for being able to save up the cash to go. :(

[~*Calyandra*~]

I'm sooo going. Can't wait to pay homage to Radiohead. :smoke:

[Felix]

I can't find any hotel availability in Indio. Palm Springs rooms are dwindling as well. If you find one, please hit me via pm.

[~*Calyandra*~]

I'm staying in LA or Long Beach.. its like a two hour drive to Indio from there. You might want to consider doing something like that.

[~*Calyandra*~]

got my tix! woot! :D

[rod]

when is this thing?

and are you kidding me with the cure?

OMG
