Everyone knows that if you throw it into the crowd it's gone forever. Last year Wayne Coyne threw an entire cake into the crowd and he didn't even bother coming back for it. He knew, man. Everyone knows. At Coachella one year I watched a guy toss an entire backpack of X tabs into air in the middle of the Mojave tent. He didn't get any of them back either. But since he was running from security, I am not sure he wanted them back.

Fuck yes Davers, amazing. On another note, tell me more about this terrace biz? Not the hand-job part, the "am I willing to pay the sum of a second ticket price just to get a sweet camping spot" part. Terrace = No raging parties & general lack of insanity, which for most people is a selling point for general camping. For many people you pay more for terrace camping and get less. Thus it is stupid. What terrace does offer is a quiet more secluded area with nicer grass that gets quiet at about 11:00 pm, lower volume use Thunder Closets, some real toilets, hot showers, often no lines for the showers, they make you coffee and provide pastries in the morning, which are really just a selection of doughnuts, though they are fresh made. You also have some nicer views. But terrace is not "posh" by any means. It is still camping and for most people it is a complete waste of money.

I have yet to see any evidence of moderation.
So far it seems to be about excess.

The ability to buy 5 days worth of booze for less than $100 is too tempting for most of us. The music is just a bonus. I seem to recall the 24 oz beers being about $10 each. More like $100 a day.

BUT THE CHANCES OF FINDING MINE AFTER WILL GO DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DARK I think it is cute that you expect to get your beach ball back.

LA LOVES Pheonix. Kind of a regional thing I guess.

I drug a guy under the canopy last year that passed out in the sun. Also felt very sorry for they guy that got so wasted Saturday he missed all of Sunday and Monday. Seriously messed up. Ended up leaving Monday morning. His wife was not happy.

I am looking forward to the bands I don't expect.
Last year We Are Augustines blew me away and I had never heard of them before. And while Thee Satisfaction was very low key, those women impressed the hell out of me. And while not looking forward to Tenacious D, I walked over on a lark and loved it.
Meanwhile, Beck, Shins, Jack White – All impressive and talented performers but snoozer shows.

I think the trick will be to get Snacks' clearance so the boxes can be dropped off at the event, and then just tossing them like the glow-sticks get tossed. Anyone have an inside line on contacting people to clear design and delivery?

My point is, unless your wristband comes from Sasquatch / Live Nation, it will be impossible to tell if it is real or not. Kind of like running an e-ticket. The only way to authenticate is if you were the first person to receive it.
People always get caught in this, showing up with their "e-ticket" they got in the email and printed at home, or a wristband that is made from printed Doritos' bag Mylar so it looks shiny, and then crying because the guy named “Gus” they gave two bills to for the ticket promised them the ticket was authentic.
I don’t mind scalpers, they help clean out the shallow end of the gene pool.

1000 24" custom printed balls = $450.00 delivered.
This is tempting.

Once you put them on, you wont be able to take them off without voiding them.
Since they will be mailed there will likely be a lot of knock-offs made as soon as people get a sample. This will catch a few schmucks as I am sure they will have RFID chips and the knock-offs will look great, except they will have either no chip or a bogus chip code.
Let the scalper games begin!

2 tents and a canopy worked fine last year without issues. Make friends with your neighbors. Share space and crap. Bringing extra bacon helps. Bacon = Gold in the world of camp site commerce.

Will PM you a pony. Just let me know if you want one. Don't worry about delivery, I'll make sure it arrives fine. I already know where you live. No address needed.

Without a doubt Aoki is CRAZY! He leaves nothing. I hope they throw him on the Sasquatch on not in the shack.
