They search vehicles there. I imagine they found something in the vehicle that lead them to do a more thorough search of the people in that vehicle.
I also know these people, and it totally sucks that they got caught, but a couple of them were asking for it last year by being way too brazen. In my opinion it was only a matter if time unfortunately.

Seems to be a bit of a crapshoot from what I saw. We had 7 vehicles in our group and the first made it through in 2 hours and the last one was another 2 hours later.
Our car had the most minimal search, all they took was 5 bottles of cider because they were glass and my sharpies. We had five 60oz bottles of booze scattered throughout the car and they didn't find any of them. They didn't even open my massive backpack.
Meanwhile the guys next to us had their whole pickup torn appart and they found a pill bottle rolled up in a couple socks and a pipe hidden in someones toothbrush bag.
We just tried to be as helpful as possible and they seemed to let us off pretty easy.

They didn't look through anything - all I had to do was tell them what we had in each bag. Me - "That's our tent. That's the canopy. This cooler has our beer. This cooler has our food. The only thing in our suitcase is our grill and blankets. No drugz or bottles here." Them - "Okay. Move along."

3. Violent Femmes. Before their set I was talking to Stamps about them and he said he hoped they would play their entire first album and then American Music. That's exactly what they played (in 55 minutes), despite never having done a full album set before. FLAMING LIPS, TAKE NOTE.... During Violent Femmes, Stamper and I would look at each other at the beginning of each song and go, "holy shit, are they just going to play this whole album?" And then he said, "if you haven't noticed, we're just playing our whole first album. We've never done that before." Badass. Yeah, the Femmes coming out swinging with Blister in the Sun to kickstart their set was absolutely redonkulous. Definitely one of the top highlights from the entire weekend.

We barely got searched, but the car in front of us got totally torn apart. We were so damn close, but then we had to spend about 45 minutes watching the car in front of us get stripped.
We got really worried they would do the same to us, but it was about a minute. They must have found drugs or something on the other guys right away.

Overwhelm security personnel with cooperation and kindness. It takes their mind off of their job and puts them at ease. It has worked for me 100% of the time with them at every show and festival I've gone to.

I just exercised for the first time since Coachella. It didn't go very well, I thought I was going to pass out for a while.
I need a beer.

I caught the Coachella cold majorly this week and have barely shown signs of human life. But somehow I still managed to do laundry on Thursday before going to work. Today I'm going to attempt purchasing groceries which will be only my second time going out into the "real world" this week (the other was for a work dinner last night).
My sick and feverish dreams this week have all somehow incorporated Coachella and the campgrounds, which has made re-entering normal life much harder than usual.

I'm sick as fuck and still hacking like a coal miner. All of my luggage is still scattered across my living room floor too. Just can't seem to re-adjust yet.

I've been having music festival dreams every night. For the last few days I've woken up thinking I had passed out in our little canopy living room and trying to remember what shows I have to see today.
