Anyone do the drive from Phoenix before? Our group is looking at flights and we are trying to avoid LAX at all costs. We have done the trip from LAX the last two years and the drive has topped 4 hours both times. Looks like Phoenix is about three and a half hours away...but I would rather be driving for 4 hours than be stuck on the interstate for 4 hours.


what time did you land at LAX last year?


1:30 pm

LA traffic is very finicky stuff. We left around noon last year and didn't have any issues getting out there. My advice, if you don't decide on landing somewhere else, try arranging an earlier LAX arrival time.

What he said. Leave earlier, Womp!

FD, Ro and I are flying into LAX fairly early - I think we all land by like, 10am or earlier. I expect traffic to be not that bad at that time.

We're shooting for 10:35AM from Atlanta to LAX.

Quick note on Rodriguez, since this thread will very soon turn into tell me who I should see, he's a 70 year old folk singer who put out two albums 40 years ago. He didn't become famous until 20 years later, at which point I'm pretty sure he wasn't even still a musician. There's a pretty crazy story about how he became famous, and a documentary about it, but I don't recall the whole story. He still only has those two proper studio albums, and there are some really interesting songs on there. He's sort of the Mexican Cat Stevens, and had a really smooth voice 40 years ago. Who knows what he sounds like now, but he's also worth 15 minutes of your time at Coachella. He'll probably be the oldest dude there.


I pulled this from the Coachella board when I noticed there is a Rodriguez thread over there (only ten posts). It explains the story I didn't quite recall.



Definitely not his best song, but possibly his most memorable. It's a dive bar song.

Flying into Palm Springs. Pelvic thrust.

Okay, I'm starting to get really excited about the lineup now.

Friday: Blur (can't fucking wait!), Stone Roses (still not super pumped, but it will be a blast to get wild to "I am the Resurrection"), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grinderman, How to Destroy Angels, Four Tet, Sparks, Lee Scratch Perry (so stroked!), and hopefully I can catch some Youth Lagoon and Wolfgang

Saturday: New Order, Hot Chip, Moby (can't wait to get wild with Moby!!), Violent Femmes, Janelle Monae, The Wombats, REIGNWOLF, Pusha T, The Selector and hopefully a little Major Lazer and Richie Hawtin

Sunday: NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS(Oh my FUCK(!) yes! Most anticipated set of the weekend for me by far), Vampire Weekend, Wu-Tang Clan, La Roux, James Blake, Gaslight Anthem, OMD, Father John Misty, Jessie Ware, Thee Oh Sees (fucking finally!), Jeff the Brotherhood. Catching Dinosaur Jr. is always fun and hopefully a little Roni Size too.

Man, it went from "who the fuck do I even want to see that would make going all the way out there even worth it?" to "I'm not going to even be able to see all these amazing bands!!!!". Other than sniffing out OMD a little further, I haven't even started checking out the shit I don't even know. This is going to be awesome. Yeah!

Anyone else trying for tickets this morning?
Posted by Pea on Jan 29, 2013, 12:43pm
mrlahey will be.

Weekend 1 GA passes sold out in a min or two. Weekend 2 GA were still available at 10:08 AM. Tick Tock.
Posted by saranater on Jan 29, 2013, 1:10pm
Come on people. Letting it sell out in a minute or two just reinforces GV's choice of RHCP.
Posted by mrlahey on Jan 29, 2013, 1:26pm
Well that was some bullshit.
Posted by wompwomp on Jan 29, 2013, 1:32pm
Got as far as putting my credit card in, hit purchase and then it crashed on me. Awesome. Great job Frontgate.
