The inflatable, school bus-sized inflatable pig that floated away |
during Roger Waters' closing performance this weekend has been found in |
two parts in a La Quinta country club, according to Coachella |
organizers. |
|
"That's definitely our pig," said Bill Fold, a Coachella producer. |
|
Susan Stolz called The Desert Sun this morning saying she and her |
husband found a glob of vinyl in their driveway yesterday at the |
Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta. Not sure what it was, they threw it |
away. This morning, they read about the missing pig in the newspaper |
and e-mailed the following to Coachella organizers. |
|
"It is entirely possible that I have at least part of your pig. My |
husband and I live at the Hideaway. We found a large pile of plastic |
yesterday morning on our driveway. It has some blue, yellow and silver |
paint. I must warn you that it is not in good shape. Maybe the balloon |
exploded or something. However, if you'd like to check it out, just let |
me know. " |
|
"We went and got the pig out of the trash and put him in the garage," |
Stolz said. "We have laughed our heads off." |
|
Another tangled, painted mess of what's left of the pig has been found |
about a half a block away. That neighbor is not home, yet. |
|
Coachella Fest organizers are offering a $10,000 reward and four |
Coachella tickets for life for the return of the inflatable pig. |
|
Stolz said she and her husband, Steve, would split the reward with |
their neighbor and would happily accept Coachella tickets. |
|
The pig, which was held above the crowd at the Coachella Music and Arts |
Festival on Sunday from lines held on the ground, displayed the words |
``Don't be led to the slaughter'' and a cartoon of Uncle Sam with two |
bloody cleavers. |
|
The underside of the pig read ``Obama'' with a checked ballot box |
alongside, referring to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack |
Obama, D- |
Ill.
