Willie was a couple years ago. But that had a specific marketing reason, they were trying to get some crossover between Coachella and the Stage Coach Festival.

We've finally made up our minds, we're going. Found a good deal on a hotel suite w/kitchen. It won't be quite as decadent as the house rental last year, but finances are tighter and the price was right. It's an Extended Stay America. I know the location, seen the hotel driving past, looks like a nice enough place to sleep and cook breakfast in.

I'm hoping that by us covering the cost of accommodations my sister will be able to join us. She's been unemployed for a couple of months and with a 1 year old is obviously watching expenses. Since we'd be staying in the hotel either way, it's no skin off our teeth to let her have the sofa bed, and would be much more fun to have her along.

Now all we have to do is buy tickets. I'm expecting they won't sell out by Sunday, so to save the price of an official Coachella t-shirt, we're probably going to swing by Fingerprints in Long Beach to buy tickets instead of giving TicketFvcker money.

I'm just about through my first pass on Friday's lineup. I'm keeping track of acts I like and don't like with a color-coded spread sheet. I'm already confused.
