Word on the "street" is that day tickets will be available at the gate, as always. Of course, you'd have to drive out there to find out if it's true. But some folks will, and then you'll know for next year.

I had considered the option of driving out and gambling. Worst case would be spending a day shopping in Palm Springs, which ain't a bad consolation prize. But eh, there was too much risk of having to sit in a huge line of cars for an hour without getting a reliable answer one way or another, only to finally get close enough to learn you were boned. No amount of swanky furniture that I can't afford makes that less frustrating (although I suppose we would have had the excuse to blow the $200+ dollars we would have spent on tickets and food).

I am pretty supremely bummed that I actually know someone who worked on one of the big installations and won't get to see it. CP and I agree, we're going to try to keep our eye on the coverage through the weekend. It'll be bittersweet, but I'd like to have some insight into how it goes, plus I'm really curious as to how well it gets covered. With the many outlets, between artists I follow on twitter, facebook fan pages, official webcasts, and searchable social media, I expect to be able to keep pretty decently abreast. Kinda makes me wish I'd studied set times.
