dunefreak Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Anna and I spent 4 days down at Coachella. It was great. The shows and bands were kickass, the people-watching was non-stop because of so many freaks, and it was flat out an awesome time. Some of my favorite bands to see were Roger Waters, Slightly Stoopid, Jack Johnson, Portishead, Raconteurs, & Gogol Bordelo. Serj Tankian sucked. Prince also played the main stage. We watched that for about 2 songs and were over that. We towed the hauler down there and stayed at Indian Wells RV resort. Hotels were going for $400+ a night and that was for a chithole. So we figured even with the added expense of fuel we saved a ton of cash. Here are some pics... driving down our home for the weekend... even had cable TV :dance: oh and we also had a stripper pole in our camp spot too we ganked a Weezer sign from the side of the road going into the show. While Slightly Stoopid were on I noticed the time....kind of ironic wouldn't ya say? :smoking: :fro_smokin: a lot more pics to come.... Quote
dunefreak Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 HUGE main stage from the side view. the Breeders (they were fuggin WAAAAASTED) shows in one of the big DJ tents :boyyy: :dance: ....thats just some of the pics from day one. Quote

dunefreak Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 and the best for last.... Roger Waters pics aren't that great, but I got a few They played a bunch of stuff from The Wall, some from Wish you Were Here, touched on some from Animals, then they took an intermission and came back and played pretty much all of Dark Side of the Moon. the show was spectacular. It was a little too political at times (shut up and play a$$hat! :shout: ) , but I didn't let that part ruin it for me. :shocked2: I grew up listening to a bunch of Floyd so to finally see Roger Waters perform and see it in person gave me goosebumps. What an experience. Quote
sand chick Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 SOLD! That's it I am going next year! End of story!! I love that chick with the PINK boots! I NEED A PAIR IN GREEN!!! :shocked2: Oh heck I would have been in your FREAK catagory!! I was going to have my hair all done in GREEN!! Seriously I was!!! Quote

We actually seriously thought it said "FREE HOGS" until we got close enough to read it. looks like i coulda gotten away with wearin a speedo out there And dude, you probably could have. :shocked2: I actually felt like I didn't fit in at times. I think I was too normal. Quote

Guest Crasher Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Holy moly you took a lot of pics!!! Looks like good times!! Very cool venue and artwork too. I can't believe how expensive those tickets were!!!! The campground looks like a nice place too. I'm sure the hotels around there charged everyone up the a$$ for rooms because of the concert. Good idea to take the hauler!! Quote
dunefreak Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 That looks like a great time for sure...I know one more freak that was there..DUNEFREAK........ Man the pics make it a great thread.... Hey I'm not an actual freak. I'm a freak about the dunes, fool. :dance: But yes Sam, DUNEFREAK was there. Holy moly you took a lot of pics!!! :chug: Looks like good times!! Very cool venue and artwork too. I can't believe how expensive those tickets were!!!! The campground looks like a nice place too. :chug: I'm sure the hotels around there charged everyone up the a$$ for rooms because of the concert. Good idea to take the hauler!! :dance: Yeah and all those pics are about 1/2-3/4 of the pics I took too. The tickets weren't actually that expensive when you consider how many bands were there and everything the festival offerred. Think about how much you spend on a decent show in Vegas for a few hours. At least 50 bucks per ticket right? Well double that ticket price but add about 30 more bands per day, all kinds of art & creations, performances, beer gardens, people watching , and huge outdoor kickass venue. It only seems like alot because it was 3 days long times 2 people= ~$600. IMO, it was worth every penny. You didn't have to buy a 3 day pass. You could still go for one full day for about a hundred bucks. And yes....the rv resort was badass! The hotels UP the hell out of their rates every year around the time of the festival. Quote
