        Springs practically paradise out here, it's summer thats a real bitch. Remember to pack the sunscreen, cause no matter how cool and breezy it feels Mr. Sunshine will spank ya.

          Thanks for the running commentary triberz!

          So I have been spoiled the past 2 years. A friend was able to score a vendor pass for me which meant when the sun dropped out of the sky I could go out change into warmer wear and re-enter! No such luck this year.

          Any tips on how to dress for both the hot daylight and chilly night. From what I hear, backpacks are allowed. But considering my height, it's difficult to pack away a big change for nightfall.

          Help me Obi Wan Tribers!

            i'm dressing for summer, but taking a nice thick sweatshirt for the evening. hopefully that'll be enough. if not, oh well, i know i won't die. :) i'll just keep moving if it gets cold. *boing boing*

            i really don't think it will get that cold. i've been checking the weather & next week the low is suppose to be about 70 and maybe even higher. a sweatshirt should suffice.

            Re: THE WEATHER (funny advice)

            (taken from the coachella message board "i found this funny" thread)...

            Q. I'm going to a music festival in early May in the Palm Springs, CA area. I've been before, and have felt like my fashion hit a sour note. Here's the kicker--the daytime temps can be in the high 90s, but once the sun goes down, so does the temp--maybe even 30 degrees! Any suggestions?
            --Teasing Temperatures

            A. Layers, layers, layers. Pack clothes that work with each other fluidly. Colors that mix and match and pieces that can be layered or worn alone. Pack a lightweight jacket or 3/4 length coat that can be worn over dresses, skirts or pants. A pretty scarf can be folded and worn as a belt during the day and then unfolded in the evening and wrapped around you neck when the temps drop. A sweater draped over your shoulders during the day can be pulled on over a fitted button down, collared shirt or simple tank in the evening. Be sure to pack a wrap that’s cashmere, pashmina or lightweight wool. It can be folded up during the day and will fit easily in your tote to swathe around your shoulders for extra warmth in the evening. When I know I’m headed to a place with wacky temps, I always pack a pair of thin leather gloves. By just keeping my hands warm I can get a way with a more daring styles in colder temps. Believe me, others will be jealous. And don’t forget a few great pieces of jewelry. When you feel the need to cover up with clothing, a pretty necklace, dangly earrings or even a brooch can make a functional outfit look chic.

                On the old temp. change:

                A) the temperature usually drops just as the huge headliner crowd gets cozy together- cuddle up for warmth with 70K of your closest friends. This should be particularly easy on Sat. night.

                B) I prepare with a 1/2 size backpack, just big enough for a light sweater, and thin yoga pants (and cigarettes and cellphone and 1 small bottle of h2o and sunscreen). In the frying pan I go for the wife-beater and cutoffs. Not so spectacular, but it works, two years running.

                -A

                  Speaking of yoga pants. I can totally envision a group of coachella campers doing sun salutations in the lush green polo field grass as the morning sun rises... that would be awesome!!!

      What's the word on unopened h2o bottles?

      ...the site does talk about water fountains and bottles of water for $2 a pop. that would make me think that...no, you can't bring in your own water.

      tried to email @ info@coachella.com and the pup got bounced back!

      ALSO: iceolate, thanks again for the cool running temp commentary. Would be fun n' cool to have audio accompaniment as well =(:]}

          yes- this includes everything- even cigarettes. You can bring in closed packs, but not open ones! grrrr....

          Last year they made the YooHoo people stop giving out free drinks too.

            Corporate bastards!

            Well, I'll stop my whining because it's the best music festival on the circuit!

            Miss A, I can't even imagine chuggin' down Yoohoo in searing temps. Now maybe mixed with some Kahlua! Yum =(:]}

                  The way I was searched on Sunday was "What do you have in your pockets?"
                  As I responded "A cell phone, a camera and keys"
                  she just waved me in to go into heaven..er Coachella.
                  I was really surprised both days..I was barely searched yet if they only knew about all the joints I rolled up the night before..
