crazy things you've seen at coachella

[chairmenmeow47]

this is a thread for posting all the insane, random stuff you've seen at coachella over the years.

one year (it was either 2004 or 2005), i saw some kid who was in a port-a-potty that got knocked over. he had just gotten out somehow (i didn't see that part) and looked horrified and disgusted.

the cool part though was seeing all these people run up and dump their bottles of water over him. poor guy, but i think it's cool all the coachella kids were nice enough to give up their water for him without him even asking!

anyways, that's my story, YOUR TURN!

I saw some chic wearing a black bikini and knee high black boots. I couldn't figure out the logic in wearing a bikini with big ass sweaty boots. Not to mention the seriously effed up tan lines she probably got.

HEY! that was me...no, but if it was either in 05 or last year it was a girl I went with. Her name Anikc and she's just as crazy as her name.

haha, that is nuts! It was indeed last year. The funny thing is while I was typing that I was thinking "I bet that girl's on here, and she's gonna kick my ass when she sees me talking shit about her boots..."

I wouldn't call it crazy, I would call it stupid. All of the dumb 13itches wearing high heels and trying to walk around in a field. I was just waiting for them to fall or trip. I laughed my ass off when they did.

Kids running around naked, fucking in the bushes.

[bleep]

Waiting by the barrier at the main stage for Belle & Sebastian to come on. Really crowded and a girl near me, not wanting to lose her spot, squats down and pees into a cup! She then gives the cup to a security guy & asks him to throw the cup of "tea" for her. He did!

[psychic friend]

I saw a guy peeing on the gobe tent. I had a blowhorn thing and yelled "hey that's the gobi tent, not the go pee tent" as I shined bright lights on him from my cart. He didn't seem so amused.

So, it'd be weird to walk around in bikinis? With no boots, just sandals?

[Bahamut727]

This guy that I (and Im sure many others) saw walking around last year. It must have been so damn hot in that thing....

[bmack86]

that is...
wow.
I saw that crazy robot outside of Daft Punk. And, in 04 during Beck's set, I saw a guy smoke three joints in quick succession, by himself, and then clear a circle out around him so he could lay back and listen. I'm amazed that people moved to allow it to happen.

[Bahamut727]

I assume this is the robot you are talking about



But this guy was cool too

Every night I thank god, that americans are spared from the abomination that is Oasis.

[luveebunni08]

that robot totally avoided my nephew (3 years old, and loves robots) to stare at some chicks cleavage. he was sad.

the "weird" things i've seen were just awesome. the stilt people and the people with wings in '05. i never saw anyone dressed up in costumes (like the mexican wrestler guys, or the wolf kid).

Your cart? You're one of those? Argh!

[hawkingvsreeve]

Last year I saw a guy pissing into a trashcan in the middle of the field by the mainstage before Tool came on.

Also those similarly dressed "jogger" guys. Not so much weird as slightly amusing.

Also also, there is always some kid that has to have the biggest mohawk ever. Be on the lookout for that this year.

[summerkid]

3 things last year.

I saw the wolf and I was thinking its way too hot to wear that thing.

I was waiting for like 10 minutes for a porta potty and i was getting really pissed off. So the door finally opens and two chicks walk out. I was like...

On saturday night when everyone was waiting in line for the campsite (i had just gotten in) I hear somebody yell take down the fence. Instantly the fence goes down, but people dont come rushing in they just slowly walk in like nothing happened lol

[Glamour Damaged]

I saw a girl sitting on the grass biting her toe nails

DUDE! I saw two guys walk out of one right in front of me.

[smokingpurse]

In '04 I saw this really fucked up guy in the Sahara Tent walking around
with a small box on his head. It was shallow enough so it just barely covered his eyes. Every now and them he'd take a peek to see where he was going.

Same year, same tent. A woman, 45-ish, was wearing a peach camisole with matching peach satin shorts, pantyhose and heeled dancing shoes. She parked herself on the rail behind the sound board area and used it as a dancing partner. Bizarre.

Good times...can't wait for '07.

[NoneForMeThanks]

Not so much crazy as amusing:


The Bunnymen


These guys were doing choreographed fighting during Ted Leo.


These muffins sat in the Gobi Tent for most of the day last year. Everytime I went to see an act, the muffins were still there. I have no idea if anyone ever ate them.

[mozabilly54]

That muffin thing is weird.

[smokingpurse]

The Bunnymen are Gram Rabbit fans. A local, desert band. They sell rabbit ears at all of their shows.

[amdux]

not at the festival, not really crazy, but everyone pitching in at lake cahuilla, helping change the tire on someone's car, very cool that spirit (and rewards of drink and smoke) and then waiting in line for shower as 3 gals were finishing up

[somewhatdamaged]

Me and my friend were at the barricades waiting for Nine Inch Nails to start and my friend was sitting down and he gets up all fast. And he tells me that the guy in front of us was taking a piss right there. It was nasty

[Coachellian]

in 05' one of the club kids at the sahara tent, had green hair...with green men tied up to the end of his hair strands...
