coachella 2011

Posted on April 18, 2011 by grasie

I’ve never been to Coachella or any music festival for that matter. I’m a huge fan of live music but large crowds and porta-potties are my least favorite things in the world. So there’s that. I’m hoping to one day score an All-Access VIP pass where I’m escorted from concert to concert through “back ways” with a mobile bathroom always near. THAT I could handle and would thoroughly enjoy. I swear I’m not high-maintenance I just like to be comfortable…always :) Below are highlight photos from the weekend. I will admit, it looks quite fun.

Have you ever been to Coachella? If so, leave a comment and share your best moment. Would love to hear from ya!

    I’ve been to lots of festivals and outdoor music events. There are great – BUT it needs YOUTHFUL-energy and an extreme lack of personal hygiene in order to enjoy – and even then there were things I was majorly ‘oooough’ about!

    I’m glad I did that (back when…) and have fun stories to tell and share. Like when a very young Britney-looking girl got in ‘on’ with her (I hope!) beau in the middle of a set by Grandmaster Flash and ‘older people’ left in what I can only describe as dismay… His set was fun still!

      oh man, they “did it” in front of a whole audience?! ha! amazing and insane – thanks for sharing. yeah, i think that boat has sailed for me. maybe if i did it in my late teens, early 20s. but at this point in my life, i need daily showers and comfy beds. lol

    i too need my daily showers, blowdryers and whatnot, so i didn’t think i could survive camping thursday-monday morning for coachella this year. however, the porta-potties are very frequently cleaned, and they have trailor showers on the campgrounds! there’s a sink area to brush your teeth and outlets to plug in whatever you need. since the sun is beating down on you by 7am, it’s best to get up right away to shower in order to beat the lines. as for festival grounds, they also have a back portion near the porta-potties that are trailer restrooms, so the toilets flush and you get a sink/soap! not many people know this either. shhhh.

    and then there’s always the option of getting a hotel nearby. there’s plenty! that way you can lounge at the pool and sleep past sunrise -__-. either way, you should definitely go at least once :) best sets for me: kanye, arcade fire, chromeo, the strokes, and gayngs.
