ok - well.. I've only gone once (this year)

and it was the absolutely best festival/ outdoor 'music event' I've EVER been too

you know how there's always "that guy" at the concert that's way too drunk, shirtless, slobby, and yells for the songs (of other artists) during your favorite song of a particular set? Well, there's no "that guy" at Coachella.

true - there are definite downsides:
1) the heat
2) the heat
3) the sun

seriously, if it wasn't for the hippy friends of my friend... I would've been fucked. B/c I only had my tent and some snacks. I didn't realize you could bring food nor the necessity of bringing a large 'tarp' or whatever to stay in the shade. B/c each night I'd wake up at 8am regardless of when I went to sleep - just b/c of the heat
