Petition To Have Metal Bottles Sold Online

[paganman7]

Now that the fest is over, and Steve Aoki and Paul McCartney are no longer prime targets for a bottle launched at 30 meters, can we have our metal bottles now?

I know thousands of those things were made. Sell 'em in the store please.


If they were sold online, who would buy one?

I'd buy one

[TomAz]

I was disappointed I couldn't get a metal bottle. I would buy one now too.

[Courtney]

I would buy a metal bottle if it was reasonably priced.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

^ what she said...so signed.

[unknown]

I would definitely buy one.

[oly malia]

I was so upset that those weren't being sold.. me and my friend were looking forward to them! signingg

[mattpach]

Signed.

[boarderwoozel3]

Signed.

I was going to buy one at Coach but when I saw they were crummy plastic that changed. In all fairness they can't really sell metal bottles. They're too perfect to be used as missiles. All it takes is one person nailing a performer on stage...

[prettydirtything]

sweet. Signed.

The reasonable part of me wonders how is security going to explain you can't bring them into the fest next year?

I say the metal bottles will never surface.

I think they were planning on it, I have no idea why you are asking now when you shoudl wait til the store has all 2009 stuff and if its missing, you ask this question.

[Xrawrthatboy]

signed. sealed. delivered.
I'M YOURS!

[natureboy]

Yes, my plastic bottle just went through the dishwasher for the first time and the paint came off on one side. It's making me sad. Like part of me is slowing disappearing like Marty's hand in BTTF1.

Since you're in the mood to be doling out pointers, what else should I do homie?

I'll be sure to consult with you before doing anything in the future.

[PlayaDelWes]

Signed. I think we're good now. We only needed nine signatures, right?

[instinct]

Make that ten signatures.

me wantee

[Sleepingrock]

Signed!

[BillyCrystal]

i want one, but it would depend on the price. if i recall correctly, they had said they were going to sell for $25 as part of the water program, but they'd have to cut that price down considering that there's no unlimited free water with them...then again, i have unlimited water on tap at home.

[sonofhal]

My plastic bottle is moribund, so a nice metal one would be nice.

[Monklish]

Signed. I was really looking forward to getting a metal water bottle because I am constantly keeping plastic bottles of water in my car and I understand that the heat they're exposed to sitting in my hot car all day waiting for me to get off work actually melts the plastic and seeps carcinogenic elements into the water.

Please do this.

[Cheddar's Cousin]

Isn't a metal bottle just an odd shaped can?

[MantisMel]

I felt duped when I went to buy the bottle and it was plastic.

My John Hancock all over this!
Signed!

[JustSteve]

well, they did mention before the festival began that the metal bottles wouldn't be sold.

[MantisMel]

Didn do much research on the bottles prior to the festival. Wasnt on my #1 thing to do list. Yeah, a little too late now.

[JustSteve]

maybe i will try and check into this, shoot off a quick email...

[frenzplz]

hmm wouldnt having metal bottles at a really hot festival, be kind of a bad idea?


i mean i dunno about you guys

but i like my water cold
and not having 3rd degree burns on my lips

[shakur]

I was fine with the plastic ones ;P

[menikmati]

I saw people at Coachella with metal water bottles that looked exactly like the ones that were on the coachella website, but I was never able to see if there was a logo on them or not, so wasn't sure if those were special people who happen to get a hold of one before they banned em (doubtful), but nonetheless they were able to sneak metal ones in.

[JustSteve]

word i just got from my friend:

"Yes, we are still waiting on them to arrive."

[paganman7]

Nice.

Thanks Steve.

[heyeric]

Signed, bring um!

[JustSteve]

pf mentioned in another thread that she heard it was a no go, guess we'll just have to wait and see...

[psychic friend]

when I inquired I was told the order was not made.

[JustSteve]

psychic, you going out to pomona tonight?

[paganman7]

Good news: the metal water bottles are in the store!!!!!

Bad news: they're $30 fucking dollars!!!!!!!!!! Really?

edit: This is almost worse than them not being available.

someone lied to you :)

and here's a link for the microphone bottle...they are both located in the poster section for some reason.

i think i like the landscape version better, fills up more space on the bottle...

[menikmati]

30 bucks? Ugh.....and no offense, but that store really needs to be redesigned badly.

[psychic friend]

someone lied to you :)

actually no, at the time it was true.

the order was made after it was decided to make a batch.

[paganman7]

At least they're available. I'm a little sad I won't be getting one. No water bottle is worth 60 Jack In The Box tacos.

[Courtney]

I like the microphone one because the green looks good on silver.

But it looks the bottle has a plastic sports bottle-style cap, which I'm not really into. Did the bottle design always have those? Maybe I was so enamored with the idea of a metal Coachella water bottle before that I didn't notice the icky cap.

[menikmati]

Nope, I think those plastic sports bottle-style caps are our first glimpse at the caps...I'm not a fan of that part either.

[Courtney]

Ok I am glad I am not senile.

hmmm, 30 dollars, and it only transports water?

[prettydirtything]

I signed the petition, and then didn't buy one even though I placed an order for a poster and a sweatshirt yesterday.

A small protest against the price increase, lack of any tangible extra benefit (free water at coachella), and not knowing if I would be allowed to bring it on site next year (the most logical place to show of a cool, overpriced waterbottle)

I flip flopped.

[justinaqui]

How would you get water out of that sport bottle cap? It's not like these are squeezable. Most of the Sigg 1L metal bottles are $25-30, so this isn't crazy pricing.

[menikmati]

I suggest installing a new cap.

[Courtney]

I agree that the price is reasonable but I also agree that sports caps on metal bottles are not good. But even on plastic bottles, sports caps are questionable. It's a tremendous feat of modern marketing genius that sports caps allow beverage companies to charge additional money to make their customers look like big babies.

[prettydirtything]

yeah, but SIGG has made an effort to try and create some separation with their quality. Its not all marketing; Backpacker Magazine called SIGG the toughest water bottle after some rigorous tests... Anybody whose bought the bottle wanna chime in with build quality and internal coating comments??

[Vaguely relevant anecodotal rambling]

When I was in the army reserve, I rigorously tested a variety of drinks and drinks bottles, and will put my hard-earned seal of approval only on the squeezy plastic sports caps.

There's no risk of contaminating your water in a swamp or losing the lid in a ruckus and being left unable to refill. You keep yourself hydrated without even thinking about it, and it's far easier to paw it out of a pocket, slurp, and dump it back in than with a screwtop.

I got one in the mail today, and it actually comes with a screw on top.
