Indio police spokesman Ben Guitron said there were 33 arrests Sunday, bringing the three-day total to 97.

Also on Sunday two people were hospitalized from heat exposure. Two others were hospitalized due to food poisoning related to food they brought with them.

Thank you GPS, I'm using these stats in this bullshit paper I'm going to write for U.S. history that will hopefully gain me extra credit for missing both Friday and today.

Some chick asked me for a map of the grounds just before My Morning Jacket. She looked pretty ripe.

I'm from the Solo at the Polo group.
While packing up our tents today we noticed one tent was still up in our area, and it was almost 11 AM. So we looked in the tent. No person. Went through the bag, found out who it was, and started freaking out cause he was gone. We notified the police and they said they had someone they were dealing with who kept claiming they were Sean Penn or Madonna.
We left because it was getting too late. Hopefully the missing Solo camper is alive.

Some wasted chick passed out during Flogging Molly, right in the front near the pit so people were jumping on top of her. This happened right next to us and lucky for her my friends are a nurse and an EMT so they quickly grabbed her all professional ER style and ran her out of the crowd. They were back by the beginning of the next song and went right back to moshing away. It was hilarious...unless she died. Nah, still a pretty funny site either way.

Nothing compares to the amount of people fainting for Bjorks set last year. It had to be at least 50 or more. If you were up close and didnt have water, you wouldnt make it through.

Some girl fainted right before MGMT. I remember it cause I pointed it out to whynotsmile... But she got right back up and, I assume, continued to watch the show.

I also definitely saw some girl get helped out of her tent and carted out to the emergency help tent or w/e on the camp grounds, Sat. morning. She was smiling, but she was clearly gone.
