my curiosity spurred on again by nuala’s mention that the webpage has more up to date info for 2003 sent me into tizzies of excitements. but then i went to the webpage and it’s still just the same old from last year. so then i checked out the bulletin board and this is what i’ve found out:

band list out second week in february

concert on april 26-27

someone named ben kweller will be there

there is a potential for beastie boys and hole

hotels are already filling up in indio

“April 26-27 � Fourth Annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Performers have yet to be announced for this super-successful festival, but judging from last year�s line-up (Pink, Oasis, Bj�rk, Chemical Brothers, Siouxsie & the Banshees and the Foo Fighters), expect the best. Empire Polo Grounds, 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio. Tickets will be available through TicketMaster.” (pink wasn’t there so i am not sure if this website is all that valid.

anyway, i panicked at the idea of having to stay an hour away again, even though super 8 is hecka great. so i made a reservation (which i can cancel. nobody call me crazy yet.) for this hotel for the 25-27th. i got a 3 doubles room. so logistically it could fit 6 people, (even though i only said 4 would be there). who i am thinking will be: me, kristen, nuala, erica, jolie, marina. but then i think jenny might come and maybe kim? and then i know jacob? dianna? gene i think is not coming. sean? jason will be in jersey. emily? marina’s mark? our marc? ian and tracy? maybe we need more rooms! maybe i need to panic! eeeep! hee hee hee hee. oh man. i love myself.

    What happened to the camping plan?! It s awash and gone I suppose. And I didn’t say it had an updated website I said I couldn’t find anything except the dates, which I got wrong and that they had no line up.

    And really after last year I think it’s a good idea to plan this early.

    ohhh…..i forgot about that….hmm…..wellll…..you could go camping. i think i want a hotel room since coachella itself is spending all day in the dirt outside.

    do other people want to go camping?

  3. Jolie

    two things…

    #1 I would also like to go camping near the ocean! I didn’t get to go last time because I was still in Tacoma and it sounded so lovely.

    #2 Thank you Michele for making reservations. I think it’s a very smart idea. And, I think we will appreciate showers and soft beds after day long outdoor concerting. =)

    btw – How much is this bizzness gonna set me back? Oye, having fun and recovering from fun in soft beds is tooo hard.

  4. michele

    welll…. 2 days of coachella is $125 i think. and the hotel is total before tax and stuff $405, which will make for about $75 each for the whole weekend.

  5. michele

    but also the happiest and most fulfilled. one day of coachella is only $75 (i know not much better) and then you’d have to find something to do all by yourself for a whole day. but maybe this plan will not be so bad once you get a look at the line-up. cause maybe one day will be shitty. (ha! i bet they will both be awesome! cause i am uber-optimistic like that!) coachella yey!

    *stops grabbing jacob’s elbow and saying can i post can i post can i post*

    ben kweller kicks booty. he’s the king of geeky endearing geeky rockness. jacob’s laughing at my description, but i stand by it.

    then again, he’s also playing around here in february* and for less than $200. speaking of which, i don’t think i’ll be going. sadly. sadly, i’ll be sadly staying home and not going to coachella. but it does look fun.

    sadly.

    *i should point out that that sentence refers to ben kweller, not jacob. sheesh.

  7. michele

    yes inside exciting scoop of ben kweller greatness! this is going to be so great! i am so excited!

    (can you tell? what with all the ‘”!’s”)

    maybe there will be so many other super great people that you will find 200 to be a paltry amount and come anyway, dianna. in which case: yey dianna! coachella yey! hwee. =)

    last year we had 5 people in a room. i slept on the floor and was fine with it, so if i can find 4 people willing to share beds with each other then we have ourselves a super cheap room my friends. and anyone else who wants to sleep on the floor and defray the cost with us. i definitely don’t want to camp more than floor-sleeping is camping. showers! yeah!

  9. michele

    um dood. did you read the whole post? cause currently in one room we have 6 people! yes 6. that’s right. and 3 beds. i think maybe theoretically we could possibly fit 7. but that’s a lot of people to shower in the morning. but possibly not all the people i am reserving the room for will come in which case we’ll have room to fit other people. mmmm people. i have to yell at my brother about getting a room too. and about setting up booth and stuff. dj dan might be there. and dj shadow. and BLACKALICIOUS IS A POSSIBILITY!!! EEEEE!!

  10. didofoot

    OHHH. sorry. i read that as 3 rooms with one double each. and i was like, wtf? what are you thinking, miss suddenly extravagent? are you making deals with the mob now or what?

    so far i am not crazy for any of these artists though. so i require that the lineup be at least as good as last year before i reserve my ticket. i still have faith though.

  11. michele

    there’s a one person line up of ben kweller. and…there are tickets i think. and there’s certainly a hotel room. and……um yeah. and we’ll be playing baseball (if we do play) in less than 3 months. not 6 sooo….and we were discussing location not day. although we could discuss day too….

  12. michele

    uh oh, coachella people are starting to find me. =P

    but i am curious as to whether feathergun will be playing there? because i am quite liking ‘saw your thong’.

  13. Sam Lewis

    OK so no Radiohead…and sadly, no Feathergun. Hey, there’s always next year! But still a great line up and I’ll surely be there again in full force with the thong-radar. Thanks for checking my tunes out, if you’re interested – we just finished a full length cd (10 +1) so pick up a copy if you feel so inclined.
