[horsephotographer]

It was like a maze trying to get out of there! Especially Sunday. My friend and I got up to go to the bathroom and we were trying to find our way so we wouldn't step on anyones blankets (there wasn't much we could do) and this lady yelled at us to not come near her blanket cause it will get dirty. I told her it was gonna get dirty anyways and just kept walking. People were just plain MEAN. We always apologized if we messed up someones blanket to.. it wasn't our fault everyone was so crammed together, we had no way to "not" step on someones blanket.

IT was a MESS! Saturday when the fire lanes got packed, people started pouring through where we were sitting, I got knocked backwards in my chair. I have a bad back to begin with so I spent the rest of the weekend with a limp.

Saturday we were near the bootbarn booth, and had an ok spot minus getting trampled when the firelanes got oacked. But Sunday made me mad because we tried to get back into the same area they said absolutely no seating there. Which based on the crowd, ok whatever we understood. After trying forever to find a spot once they made us move, we ended up between the pallets. Ok fine, not the best but I quickly realized without VIP the only way I was going to see anything was on a screen. (WHICH GLAD THEY RAISED THEM UP SUNDAY, They were almost pointless saturday).

TOO MANY PEOPLE, and especially too many people taking up way too much room. Sunday we were looking for a spot and these people where taking up a huge 15 sq ft or so area for two people and two kids right up front. I know that people need a little breathing room but common! A chair and a little blanket per person, but the whole area not fair.

I think that stagecoach should be more like the drive in, you get a square! Each GA ticket should get a square, and if you have a bunch of people coming together then you can find squares together. I just think there was a lot of wasted room with people ending up a mile back.

I liked Sat. We sat on the grassy area behind VIP that was designated "no chair/blankets" Your spot was where your butt sat and if you leave, you lose your spot. It was so nice and mellow. So Sunday I show up ...early....and nothing but a sea of chairs and blankets and people yelling about what spot is taken because they have friends coming later.....Bull!!! Coachella doesn't have problems with seating. There is no VIP and no chairs/towles/blankets are allowed. And there are WAY fewer vendor tents so it feels more open and flows great.

i hate the blankets and chairs covering the field, not what a music festival is about. it is a definite vibe killer. lazy people.

People should realize that if they put a blanket on the grass where 40,000 plus people are going to be, its going to get stepped on. If you dont like it, dont bring a blanket that you dont want to get dirty. Seems easy enough for me to figure out. People were apologizing about stepping all over my blanket and I told them it was no big deal. I'd rather you step on my blanket then try to jump over it and spill your beer on it (or jump right on my moms foot! :eek:)

I was trying to avoid people's blankets as much as possible but sometimes you have to step on them....there's no way out. This one lady who was sitting right by the main aisle was being extremely rude to us. I walked by saying excuse me and stepped through her area. She looked at me and goes, "BITCH." Um, yeah, because that was called for.

She was fun wasn't she.....You should have seen the look Little Bit gave her. Priceless. She didn't say anything to the lady, but I don't think she had to. That woman never said word one to us all day!

[IheartMillerLite]

Thanks LittleBit!!!

[tgcali]

She said something that Little Bit didn't catch and she gave the lady a look like she had lost her mind. It was priceless. I think having a kid 'put her in her place', if you will, without saying a word just kind of threw her. I loved it.

I'm not sure it even registered with Little Bit though, she just kind of looked at her and kept going, but I caught it and it was hilarious.

I had to hop over a girl sleeping at one point on Sunday, and the lady sitting there started yelling at me. I just kept going and ignored her. When there's NO room to walk, what the hell is there to do?
