The Worst of Coachella: Weekend Two

The Kid Who Tried to Steal Our iPhone
The people on drugs were cool this weekend, and so were the security guards, even though they had to wear black in the sun. But as we were watching A$AP Rocky's show, our bag was jostled. Immediately turning around, we saw a kid holding our phone, his eyes wide. "You dropped your phone," he said. False. You dropped your hand into our purse. Jerk. --Rebecca Haithcoat

See Something, Say Something
During Laura Marling's set on Saturday, as we pushed through the crowd to get to the front, we were horrified to find a circle of people staring at a kid lying on his side throwing up. He was too weak to even lift his head and he seemed likely to choke on his own vomit. AND NO ONE DID ANYTHING. So we ran for security and got the EMTs as fast as we could. The kid was fine, but the set was ruined for us. Moral of the story: if you see someone in trouble at Coachella DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Get help. It's the Jeff Mangum thing to do. --Molly Bergen

What about the heat, the Natzi like security, the only choice of beer was a Heiny, Dre & Snoops short set for a headliner on the main stage, to much Electro music, and to many corporate parties. Damn did you really go to Coachella week 2? Dumbasses!!!!!

worst festi ever... all scensters, no fans.. no one sang along to radio head no encores either.. the suck!

the solution to most of these issues is clear and simple,....goldenvoice needs to raise the ticket price. maybe even charge for the simplest things like going to the bathroom, bringing cameras, & medical services. I think that the artists are more likey to be receptive to this if they are simply paid more and the fans, if they are true fans need to pay for it. Its obvious from the lush condistions the festival provides people just are not grateful, so if the ticket price is higher and harder to get maybe you cut off the bottom feeder low-lifes who can't pee "in" the hole.

Definitely agree about the people who don't even seem to be music fans that go there. I was able to help a few people who passed out form the heat though!
