coachella filtered water program

[frozen pilgrim]

holy shit.

apologies if this has been posted already, but I couldn't find a thread for it.

http://coachella.com/event/water

this is fucking awesome.

yet another reason why GV is #1

[frozen pilgrim]

also, those bottles look TITS.
best souvenir ever

[ThomThom]

This is a great idea.

[SFChrissy]

I love my canteen...I think I might have to take this route this year!!! Great find FP!!!

[kitt kat]

Those are so sexy. What an awesome idea.

[chairmenmeow47]

dope idea for sure :) my only thing is i like to cram my bag with as many bottles as i can at the end of the night so i don't get stuck at a stage without water.

[frozen pilgrim]

I can't wait to buy the bottles. I'm totally getting one of each.
motherfuckin pimp-ass stainless steel coachella bottle, and buying one gets you free cold water all weekend!

like...
my water/gatorade budget for 3 days is like $80. this is amazing.
it's one of the only things I could have even thought of doing to improve the fest, and they've done it!
fuck guys, this year we get campers-only music until 4 AM, and a brand new water program!

[kitt kat]

yeah, i was hoping for the 10-for-10 again this year so i didn't have to pay to be hydrated.....

but i end up spending at least $50 on liquid alone...so it's better to just splurge for the $25 bottle, get a cool souvenir, save the animals of the world and shit...and get unlimited water.

[frozen pilgrim]

a thought occurs:
if I spend $30 on 3 bottles, there should be no reason why I can't fill them all at once.
3x24oz should last a while. that's like 5 1/2 regular bottles.
and I have no qualms at all spending $30 on some pimp coachella gear

edit:
my plan is to get two plastic ones and one stainless steel.

[PlayaDelWes]

Sounds cool. Will there still be plastic bottles? I'm not sure how I feel about carrying around a hard bottle all day and night.

[chairmenmeow47]

i can't believe spending $80 for water when you can just buy a couple and fill your bottles for free at the fountains. mind boggling.

[kitt kat]

did anyone notice the way "coachella" was spelt out on the black text bottle?

"COA-Chella."

HAH!

[stuporfly]

This is an excellent development.

[frozen pilgrim]

yeah, for sure they'll be selling water like usual. this is meant to reduce, not replace. people still also need gatorade (get those electrolytes, people!)

[chairmenmeow47]

what's the part about not leaving the beer area with a full container? hopefully they won't be checking bags, cause i'm not leaving my bottles of water outside the beer garden just to drink.

[feather]

THIS IS AWESOME! I am buying one.

[zenidogx]

the bottle will be the first thing purchased at the festival!

[frozen pilgrim]

i can't believe spending $80 for water when you can just buy a couple and fill your bottles for free at the fountains. mind boggling.

I know. I hauled cases of my own around and also tried filling at fountains in 07, but in the end it was just way easier to knuckle down and buy a new bottle each time. also, there's never a shortage of thirsty hippies looking for free empties.

this, on the other hand, is worth the trouble. totally worth it.

[psychic friend]

in other words, you cant leave the beer garden with the bottles filled. so fill them not in the beer garden.

[frozen pilgrim]

you cant leave the beer garden with the bottles filled. so fill them not in the beer garden.

seems fair. basic not-sneaking-liquor-out kind of rule.

[chiapet]

okay those are sweet. i like the bring your own bottle idea but i want one of the coachella bottles. ;)

[davrone]

So gonna buy that microphone bottle. NICE!

[amyzzz]

FINALLY. Nice find, and great idea. I've been wanting to (legally) bring in empty containers for years.

The potential problem with this though is they may make you dump out your filled, sealed water bottles more this year then last year. I guess we were lucky to get those bottles in last year.

[cooperb1]

i,m buying a staless steel one

[kimery08]

the bottle will be the first thing purchased at the festival!

for sure.
so cool.

[CitizenJ]

i can see it allready...

"Hey, Fleet Foxes start in about 20 minutes, are you coming?"

"Hold on. I'm about 60 people back in line to fill up my 24oz, 25 dollar water bottle. I'll be there later".

Correct me if i seem off here..

[chairmenmeow47]

yeah, i totally understand not wanting people to take out alcohol, i'd just hate to see people dumping out bottles of water to get beer. i'm curious if they'll be doing bag checks exiting the beer gardens or if they'll just be having you take the lids off if it's in your hand.

[feather]

i can see it allready...

"Hold on. I'm about 60 people back in line to fill up my 24oz, 25 dollar water bottle. I'll be there later".

This is true. Hopefully there are a lot of water outlets.

[4Ransom]

it would be fine as long as they have refill stations right outside the beer gardens. would suck if i have to empty it out and trek far just to fill it up again.

[chiapet]

yeah, i totally understand not wanting people to take out alcohol, i'd just hate to see people dumping out bottles of water to get beer.

Why would you have to dump it out to get beer? Says no exiting beer gardens with filled containers... could take one in, drink your booze, finish your water, and leave? All the better to stay hydrated with.

[frozen pilgrim]

I would hope and imagine that the filling stations will be at least somewhat close in number to the water/gatorade vendors.

I'm sure they've thought this through. this isn't the regular fountains, those are still around separately

[PotVsKtl]

I plan to run around all weekend branding the back of strangers' necks with my 500 degree stainless steel cylinder.

[chairmenmeow47]

Why would you have to dump it out to get beer? Says no exiting beer gardens with filled containers... could take one in, drink your booze, finish your water, and leave? All the better to stay hydrated with.

true, i just tend to have multiple bottles in my bag. i meant more that they'd have to dump to leave the garden, sorry. you'd think a smell test would be sufficient, like in high school :p

[chiapet]

^^^ smell test is how we got by with carrying around bottles of juice + vodka (or tea + soco UGH) in HS :)

[zenidogx]

can we still bring in water to the festival? what's the rule on that this year. had i known last year we could bring water, i would have come prepared.

[chairmenmeow47]

i wonder if you just refill the normal, clear plastic bottles if they'll let you leave the garden with those full.

[greghead]

Sweet. Does anybody know if we can still bring bottled water into the fest? For the past two years I have spent $10 on a case of bottled water at Wal-Mart, then fill my backpack with 10 to bring into the fest each day.

[mountmccabe]

This is a great program.

The stainless steel water bottle I have has leakage problems; this looks like a great excuse to get a new one!

[frozen pilgrim]

Sweet. Does anybody know if we can still bring bottled water into the fest? For the past two years I have spent $10 on a case of bottled water at Wal-Mart, then fill my backpack with 10 to bring into the fest each day.

technically that's never been allowed, we;ve just all had some nice luck with security (myself included). I have a feeling that with the free/cheap refills they'll crack down a bit more.

[Young blood]

It'll suck to get hit in the head with one of those.

Yes, drunk assholes throw shit.

[chiapet]

we've never been allowed to leave the beer tents with any opened non-empty containers, security just doesn't check thoroughly sometimes.

[chairmenmeow47]

we've never been allowed to leave the beer tents with any opened non-empty containers, security just doesn't check thoroughly sometimes.

are you serious?! i guess cause i always keep them in my bag, i've never been stopped. fancy that. if it's the same as it's always been, i guess i should be fine then :)

until some drunk asshole brands my neck that is...

[Alchemy]

They had refill stations at V-Fest, and it worked very nicely.

[menikmati]

I want the one on the left.

[BlueDevil50]

awesome, awesome, awesome idea coachella. kudos for this.

[amyzzz]

I guess I will bring in 3 empty bottles, assuming they allow you to bring multiple bottles in.

[jimmycrackcorn]

The potential problem with this though is they may make you dump out your filled, sealed water bottles more this year then last year. I guess we were lucky to get those bottles in last year.

i was thinking the same thing :(
i brought in a lot last year too... FROZEN bottles of water that would last most of the day...
-shrugs-
we'll see how it works out with the new program and i'll buy the souvenir steel to have and enjoy throughout the year...

[amyzzz]

The thing is, I want a souvenir bottle, but I don't really want to use it at the festival. I'd rather use my plastic ones.

[frozen pilgrim]

the way I'm looking at is, at the very least, for my money I get a kickass souvenir. and it's worth it. free cold filtered water all damn weekend?! best purchase bonus EVER.

[BlueDevil50]

true dat...double true!

[amyzzz]

I need to get a lanyard for my souvenir bottle so i can wear it around my neck or over my shoulder.

[suprefan]

Cool, this will be worth it, even though last year I didnt spend a dime on water.

[sin213]

wow. this is a GREAT DEAL! i spent over $27 per day on water. now i just have to spend it once. it should be interesting to see how long the lines are for this though...i'm not waiting 30 mins to fill up water. i'd wait a max of 10 mins before leavin to grab a bottled water...

[sin213]

I want the one on the left.

i want em both! :D collect em all!

[sin213]

and ya know...if ya want to get technical about it...only option 2 (your own container) says that it has to be empty when you enter the fest...

[psychic friend]

try not to be dumb.

[kreutz2112]

Cool, this will be worth it, even though last year I didnt spend a dime on water.

Cum is not an ideal substitute for water.

[sbessiso]

I approve!

But I'm still gunna need multiple bottles of water in my bag for when I'm at the mainstage all day

[Boourns]

This is amazing. I hope the water filling stations aren't obscenely clusterfucked, but still, I paid $20 for my Radiohead bottle, which has been getting used every day since August. $25 for a Coachella bottle and free water for a weekend is a fucking bargain.

Speaking of electrolytes, I need to drink more Gatorade. Will Sambazons give me electrolytes? I love those things.

[corbo]

hmmm looks like i'll be bringing my Radiohead bottle. Thanks Goldenvoice! :]

[frozen pilgrim]

heh, if anyone wants a LOL, crazzz is having some reading comprehension issues in the duplicate thread

[Boourns]

I usually spend more than $25 on water, anyway, even with recycling over the past two years. I down about 8-12 bottles of something each day. I love how Coachella finds new ways to be awesome every year.

[psychic friend]

it's frightening to think we could run out of awesome

[frozen pilgrim]

NEVER.

[captncrzy]

That's very cool. Hoping those "cold filtered water" stations are properly staffed.

[BlueDevil50]

and properly cold =)

[prettydirtything]

i can see it allready...

"Hey, Fleet Foxes start in about 20 minutes, are you coming?"

"Hold on. I'm about 60 people back in line to fill up my 24oz, 25 dollar water bottle. I'll be there later".

Correct me if i seem off here..

good call.... I can last two sets in style with nor refills. If I bought 2 bottles.. hmmm....

I plan to run around all weekend branding the back of strangers' necks with my 500 degree stainless steel cylinder.

yes. Pot with the perspective again.

the way I'm looking at is, at the very least, for my money I get a kickass souvenir.

it would be sweet to have some sort ass kicking Rambo style bottle bandolier with a bottle from every year. Starting.. now.

Cool, this will be worth it, even though last year I didnt spend a dime on water.

If I am ever lost in the desert, I will also try and stay alive drinking my own sense of self satisfaction. Unless that only works for you.

Cum is not an ideal substitute for water.

It might sub for a Naked Juice Protien Zone (supre's version has no banana?)

Sambazons keep me alive, and may be the only nutrition I get during the weekend. Less soilid food, more booze equals less time trying to shit in a 147 degree porty potty.

it's frightening to think we could run out of awesome

The Who did... And I never thought they would. You have at least 6 more good years before you grow deaf and loose half your crew.

[mattpach]

That's very cool. Hoping those "cold filtered water" stations are properly staffed.

This is amazing but yeah I really hope the same but really can't complain.

[kreutz2112]

who the fuck are you and why do you have so much to say?

mattpatch. please delete your post.

[chiapet]

Boourns, the sambazon bottled smoothies have a decent amount of potassium (because they have bananas/juice), but not much sodium, and no chloride. Maybe sambazons and table salt? :)

[mattpach]

who the fuck are you and why do you have so much to say?

mattpatch. please delete your post.
I cannot do so but
I'll be sure to just post "lol" next time.

[kingsblend420]

How can you people be spending so much money on water and drinks? That's out of control.

[suprefan]

it's frightening to think we could run out of awesome

Until you get Bowie then maybe sometime after that..

[Xenocide]

I want the one on the left.

i won't even explain how stupid you just made yourself look...



i AM curious as to what the $10 plastic ones look like... i support this program, as the drinking fountain water is neither cold nor filtered...

[sin213]

try not to be dumb.

i try, but it's reallllly hard.

[shakermaker113]

do those bottles have lids? tell me they have lids.

[JustSteve]

yes, they do.

[rage patton]

This is awesome. Im gonna buy the "Coa-che-lla" one

[menikmati]

i won't even explain how stupid you just made yourself look...

Your trolling attempts are weak, but what's to be expected from someone who has to make 3 usernames on the same board, post under them all, and complain when he gets one banned from bumping old threads....pathetic and no life I suppose.

[SubBass49]

Cool idea, but yeah...long refill lines would suck (and be counter-productive to the goal of the bottle program). Just something to have GV consider in the weeks leading up to the fest.

[TomAz]

I posted about this yesterday, what happened to my post?

it was probably deleted because I pointed out there will only be 3 refill stations over the entire festival grounds.

either that or the server crash.

[SubBass49]

probably the server crash...a new topic I had posted had to be re-posted too.

[Hannahrain]

Let me think a little harder about how many water stations there might be, and when my brain starts to hurt I will come in here and tell you what I came up with.

[Hannahrain]

Can I borrow someone's concentrating eyebrows? I think I left mine in my other jacket.

[indietron]

*Giggle*


But on a serious note, this is such an awesome idea. If they staff the refill stations right, this will turn out even better than the 10 for 1 idea.

[fatbastard]

Have at it people.

[zenidogx]

i are too a good talker

[Hannahrain]

okay:

3 water fountains. free. no cost.
refill stations. 1 dollar.

water fountain =/= refill station.

The water you get for free when you have a Coachella bottle is the same as the water you get when you pay one dollar for the refill. Filtered water that is cold and not from a fountain. The fountains are a separate thing. Here's the thing that says the thing, located right at the bottom of the thing when you click the thing you click to see the thing:

There are 3 refill locations located inside the venue, along with another in camping. You can purchase containers at each of these locations along with the merchandise tent and the general store in camping. Please see the map for locations or ask a festival staff member.

Fuck you for deleting. I don't have the correct kind of eyebrows for this on hand right now.

[JustSteve]

fountains = hose

filtered water = not from hose...well, at least not at the field.

[zenidogx]

oh oh ohhhhh

i didn't scroll down further. i'm gonna go away for a long while now.


and that's why you never skim new information.

[zenidogx]

this is how we learn people. through retards like myself.

[indietron]

zing!

[BROKENDOLL]

Sweet. Does anybody know if we can still bring bottled water into the fest? For the past two years I have spent $10 on a case of bottled water at Wal-Mart, then fill my backpack with 10 to bring into the fest each day. I'm hoping your "Arizona Tea" will be okay, myself, greghead...:winkiss

[Miss Erikaaa]

Sweet! I am so getting one of those....and yeah, like everyone is saying, hope the refill lines aren't out of control.

I think I'll just bring one case of water now instead of the 3 I was originally planning on.

[Xenocide]

Your trolling attempts are weak, but what's to be expected from someone who has to make 3 usernames on the same board, post under them all, and complain when he gets one banned from bumping old threads....

ooOoOhh... like no one else on this board ever posted an alias before... what? you thought you 'outed' me or something?

(and i never got banned for bumping old threads... the only alias i've ever gotten banned was "Paul T." who had one single post in an original thread... and turned out to be FUCKING BRILLANT, btw...)

doesn't change the fact that you made yourself look like a complete moron in your previous post...

[captncrzy]

http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/6214/0/Pot_Calling_the_Kettle_Black_T-Shirt.ashx

[fatbastard]

I could sure go for some filtered water right now.

[shakermaker113]

I don't see why the water refill lines would be any longer than the lines to buy a bottle of water in past years.

[menikmati]

ooOoOhh... like no one else on this board ever posted an alias before... what? you thought you 'outed' me or something?

Yeah man, BRILLANT, that's what.

[Xenocide]

don't be so bitter...

you're waaay too close to the inside... from out here it was epic.

u gonna hold a grudge against me for having balls?

[mountmccabe]

Am I the only that doesn't have any idea what Xenocide is going on about?

[pancakespancakes]

I don't, but it's pretty entertaining...



And so are these kickass water bottles...

A+ Thread.

[captncrzy]

Am I the only that doesn't have any idea what Xenocide is going on about?

no....

[JustSteve]

i second...

[indietron]

yeah im clueless

[fatbastard]

I want an alias.

[woogie846]

I'll definitely be bringing my water bottle with me this year.

[greghead]

Smart move, GV, now more of the water proceeds go directly into your pocket and not to the vendors or to the hourly wages of the people subcontracted to sell water/gatorade.

I like this idea almost as much as I like watching you all clamor over which cheap piece of aluminum has the design you want to pay $25 for.

Consumerism at its finest.

EDIT: pardon my cynicism, I'm a little irritable due to lack of marijuana to smoke. I think this idea will be good in a year or two when they've got some of the kinks worked out. I'm still banking on frozen water bottles, though I will be bringing the Nalgene I stole eight years ago in order to take advantage of a 32 oz. refill for $1.

[Hannahrain]

Having custom steel water bottles produced isn't cheap, even for a large presence like Goldenvoice. And, people still have to staff the refill stations, since water is going to be sold there. It's not a fountain. This is a lousy candidate for low-energy hipster outrage.

It's going to work well for many people, and it allows people to bring their own bottle and spend half what they would have on water. It's not a ploy. It's a genuinely good idea. And bottled water is still going to be sold. They're not getting rid of that. You're being ridiculous.

Goddamn people editing their post while I'm exhibiting low-energy outrage over it.

[JustSteve]

Smart move, GV, now more of the water proceeds go directly into your pocket and not to the vendors or to the hourly wages of the people subcontracted to sell water/gatorade.

yeah, instead they are helping the fans who have already paid a ton of money to even be there. for shame!

let's see: for $25 you would get 12 bottles of 16.9 ounces each, which = 202.8 ounces

to break even you will only need to fill up your 27oz. stainless steel water bottle approx. 8 times over 3 days with the free cold filtered water. plus it has a top, unlike the plastic bottled water you buy.

This is why I like you.

[greghead]

And I'm not outraged at all, I actually think this is a really good idea (see my first post in this thread). I just don't think it's as full of sunshine and rainbows as Luca does.

plus yuo can use it for beer.

[fatbastard]

Filtered water, mmmm mmmm. Delicious.

[sbessiso]

I don't get it though. I buy my $25 bottle, then there are only 3 places to go where I can refill it for free? I want the steel bottle but I like having a few bottles of water in my backpack. I'm a thirsty boy

[mountmccabe]

I read it that there will still be self-serve warm tap water stations like last year and they will still sell cooled bottled water and other drinks as in the past but they are adding the three staffed stations that dispense cool, filtered water.

You can still buy bottles of water/etc for your backpack. You could even bring your own plastic bottle (32 fl oz or less) and keep that in your backpack and still buy a stainless steel Coachella bottle for $25 (and/or a Coachella plastic one for $10.)

They are offering new options, not limiting what you can do with the old ones.

[jgd855]

ok first off i want to say i think this is a great idea. i love gettin my coachella consumerist junk, and a metal water bottle that can be refilled all weekend is in fact awesome. i know most of us spend approximately $25-50 on water all weekend, and at the end of the week all we have to show for it is a bunch of plastic trash. however, i am a bit confused by this,

"Bring your own container - it must be completely empty to enter the festival (from the main entrance or any camping areas). No glass, metal and no camel packs. You can fill up at the free drinking fountains or purchase cold filtered water for $1 per filling. 32oz maximum container allowed in."

now the no glass is a no brainer, but no metal? they containers they are selling ARE metal, so what gives? it seems a bit counter intuitive to the whole 'green' idealogue that coachella promotes; if i have a one perfectly good metal bottle, why make me buy another one? i also dont see the problem with camelbacks, but maybe some reason that i just didnt think of (other than wanting your $$).

all in all though, i am pleased, and will be purchasing one myself.

[amyzzz]

Can we bring in more than one empty 32 oz container? I'd like to have a couple plastic bottles on me and also pick up the steel one. Like Salah said. (2 peas in a pod n all)

[Hannahrain]

Do you think they will allow me to bring in a sheep's bladder if I haven't disconnected it from the sheep yet? I couldn't find it in the FAQ.

[Hannahrain]

I found this kit online to make my own water. Do you think they'll let me bring it in?

[Hannahrain]

Do they also sell swamp water, or is cold filtered water the only option available?

[mountmccabe]

Sometimes there are pools of muddy water on the ground, can we refill from those for free with the Coachella metal and/or plastic bottles?

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Can I just get up under the faucet and drink the water directly? I like cutting out the middleman (or middlecontainer in this case) whenever possible

[Hannahrain]

Do you think the water girl will let me touch her boob? That wasn't in the FAQ, either.

[TomAz]

Oh here's another thought. A 32 oz bottle might come in handy when I am lining up for Morrissey at 4 pm and have to, you know, go.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

The 27 oz water bottles look cool but I don't think I want to have to hold onto it all weekend. I like the little plastic water bottles because i can keep it in my side pocket of my cargo shorts. This way my hands are free to molest the cute girls in the sahara tent... Of course I could hook it onto my belt. I'll just have to wait till I get there to decide.

[justinaqui]

I'm in for one if there is some way to not have to carry it all day. Attach it to me some how.

[paganman7]

I'm absofuckinglutely getting one.

1. You are guaranteed to spend no more than $25 on water the entire weekend.

2. You are reducing waste.

3. You get a kick ass reusable bottle than you can use year round and have people say, "Say, Jack, where did you get such a handsome bottle?"

Paganman for the triple win!

[morelifefucker]

I`m getting really thirsty just thinking about filtered cold water.

[psychic friend]

This has changed slightly. I mourn the loss of the metal coachella containers. http://coachella.com/event/water

[greghead]

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot

[Gonshman]

I'll still use the recycling program. Didn't pay for one water last year.

[chiapet]

*cry* Which band complained about the possibility of getting hit in the head with scores of metal bottles?

Please tell me that maybe you'll still sell them, later, on the merch site, even if we can't have metal in the festival. They looked great.

[chiapet]

PF, I have a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle, will that be allowed in?

Yes, read the page. :) Your own 32 oz or smaller plastic bottle is permitted.

[anti-square]

Damn. That sucks. I can see why this would get nixed though. I hate lawsuits too.

[greghead]

Yes, read the page. :) Your own 32 oz or smaller plastic bottle is permitted.

Yeah, I went back and read the rules like I should have done initially

[amyzzz]

aww. :( I'm just bringing a few bottles in then. I wanted one of those metal ones. :( :( :(

[fatbastard]

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2325/2209280554_701d10ac72.jpg?v=0

[TheWatcher]

I wanted the metal one too. No point in buying a plastic bottle when I am trying to avoid plastic...

Oh well, it sounded too good to be true.

[mountmccabe]

Aww, Chris you're gonna have to add a red X over your avatar

: (

[Hannahrain]

Damn. I will still buy a plastic bottle because it's a good idea and guarantees all your water for the weekend for $10, but I had been looking forward to the metal one as a souvenir. It would have made the water warm, though.

[chiapet]

I've used a metal bottle at other festivals and water didn't get too warm, but then i kept it in a bag or clipped to my side, not in direct sunlight.

This has changed slightly. I mourn the loss of the metal coachella containers. http://coachella.com/event/water

Dani, sorry to bug but why were they able to sell the metal radiohead bottles at APW but can't sell the metal Coachella bottles here? Are there any other reasons behind this?

Ask Crowded House.

Hopefully the loss of metal bottles will reduce the lines for water.

Ask Crowded House.
I laughed.

I'd rather pay $25 for a bottle of water than $40 for a shirt or $90 for a sheet of paper.
