I will be very close so I am going for the 3rd year in a row

 

[indie]

I'd love to go there , but I can't I live like thousand miles away.

Last year it was severe...I went and I got all dehydrated and crap....then the next day I was my friends prom date....that was harsh cuz I was still all out of it from Coachella. I don't know if I wanna go through that again..

was that your first time?..cause mine was last year and i went through the same but i just think it was because i wasnt prepared at all, i didnt bring enough money for water plus my clothes werent proper enough for the weather (i was wearing jeans!). I'm guessing this year could be different since now I know how tough it can get


indie: so many people with no ride, i can totally understand the frustration

 

[kimair]

well the cocteau twins have pulled out of coachella!!


here's the link: http://coachella.com/news/

that was part of the reason i wanted to go!!

 

[MulletProof]

that sucks!

off topic- didnt know you were a mod!

 

[kimair]

i was going to go, but decided against it...

i saw nine inch nails wed. night...they were very good, and going to see new order/chem brothers tonight...

 

[MulletProof]

ohoh, i'm jealous!.
i was reading Coldplay is also having a small gig in San Francisco on wednesday..not a big fan but you're very lucky for having big bands doing small shows in that area.

 

[droogist]

Gang of Four and New Order on the same bill...that's like my version of heaven. Oh, how I seethe with envy...

 

[brian]

soo...who's going tomorrow?!

sephora_socialite is there...

 

[Sephora_Socialite]

EEEE....this 2nd day willl be the best!


My head hurts this morning so I chose to miss the 1st band ...I think I might sleep in the trailer for a while until something that I just CANNOT miss comes up.

Yeah my first time, but I've been to Coachella Valley before so I knew of the weather, but I think I was so busy running around I didn't drink enough water

Today I'm soaking wet....my friend got me with a bucket so getting hot shouldnt be a problem.

 

[luxmode]

Can't wait to hear a report from the people that went... How were Bauhaus and Gang of Four??

 

[juliekitty]

most of those bands i have seen before, there are only like 3 i haven't and would like to (Raveonettes, Mercury Rev, Bloc Party) so it's not worth it for me... i also hate the drive out there from LA, the heat, and the overpriced food & water. i went to SXSW in Austin instead this year.

 

[pointup]

I WANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA GO

 

[brian]

me too...

...new order...

sephora, i made it to the first day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think it was a hot as last year but i went very prepared..desert-island prepared
laskjd!, i dont know how many times i've post my little crappy review of the day, but well..i missed four tet and that makes me a little bit sad.. we saw coldplay..from a very bad spot . and The Chemical Brothers were unbelievable!..absolutely awesome ..also Cafe Tacvba was great too. we saw the Raveonettes, Mercury Rev, Ambulance LTD, bloc party, m83!!!..probably one of the highlights for me. also something from jamie cullum..which was so-so..Snow Patrol..a bit of it which was slightly decent..i thought it'd be worse . and we also heard Keane, while eating burritos .

did you get to see Frankie Rayder? she was walking around with that RHCP character during The Chemical Brothers set..also Danny DeVito was there..and Vincent Gallo..

i really wish i could've been to the second day..nin, m.i.a., arcade fire, new order, i've been told it was the best day..i saw the pics from the arcade fire set.. it looked awesome..oh well.

did you have a good time?..as much as i struggled last year, i still think it was a better lineup!..we ran from set to set trying to catch all those good bands, and this time, we sort of ran away from some musicians

 

[MulletProof]

How were Bauhaus ??

that's so funny, we met this couple from SF and they were only there to see Bahaus, we started talking about coldplay and if they were excited about anything in particular from them and they said they hated them, they heard this radio interview with chris martin and when asked about bahaus he was like 'bahaus? i dont know those'. my cousin adviced them to throw a bottle of water to chris..which didnt happen at the end.

just for the record, i also missed the infamous Bahaus.

 

[MulletProof]

found those..for those who missed it (me included) ....

Coachella was awesome...my 2 friends and i went, and we were pretty lucky to go alone because we're only 15...but the second day was not as great as the first day. wayyy too many drugs on the second day for some reason. coldplay and weezer were the best and the faint was good also except we got stuck in a mosh pit but it was pretty fun. very hott and i saw pedro from napoleon dynamite at the rilo kiley concert! a lot of people had the "boho" look...short dress, cowboy boots, and a belt. overall, it was pretty fun and i would definately recommend it for next year!
