Don't have sex in a Port-a-Potty, and more tips for surviving the Coachella music festival.
I've been to Coachella once. It was back in the day when I could stomach outdoor concerts that consisted of thousands of people whacked out of their mind on drugs and alcohol, and each one of them hoping to get laid. I'm not judging these people, because I was one of them.
Coachella, which is coming up on its second weekend this year, has come a long way since it started in 1999 when on-site camping was not even permitted, and has evolved into something more mainstream. Although the bands that play run the gamut from totally obscure to obscenely famous (Madonna played in 2006, for example), it still seems to be the go-to destination every April for both music aficionados and wannabes looking to prove to themselves and others that why yes, they are cool.
Whether you're going to Coachella, already there, or just curious about it, here are some tips for finding love (likely very short-term love) at the annual festival:
1. Expect to find a mixed crowd. Once upon a time, when Coachella wasn't as painfully mainstream as it is now, the crowd was crawling with hot indie guys, with their gorgeous half-sleeve tattoos and beat up old Chucks, but these days it's not quite the same. Proof? Like 10 of my friend's finance buddies went this year and had never even heard of single band ? they just happened to have the money to go, unlike many die-hard fans who lack the funds. But despite these types, there are still those who go for the music and meeting people, as opposed to the scene. Read the rest of the tips...
