Coachella rocks! Make sure to read the official FAQ on their website:\nhttp://www.coachella.com/rules/\n\nThe website linked in the sources section below has some pretty good pointers too.\n\nI highly recommend bringing the following to prevent massive uncomfort:\n-sunblock\n-hat\n-chapstick with SPF\n-sunglasses\n\nFood is pretty expensive (like $7-$15 per meal). So is merch. Bring a lot of cash, or be prepared to wait in line at the ATM.\n\nYou can't bring bottled water in with you. It's $2 per bottle inside the festival grounds, but once you buy your first bottle you can always refill for free at the water fountains.\n\nMake sure to designate a meeting spot if you're coming with a group of friends. You most likely WILL lose each other.\n\nAnd most of all, have fun! :)

Yes, I've been there with my kids.  There are some things to keep in mind to have a great time\n\nThis place is packed.  I mean sardines in a tin can packed.  To avoid the crowds, go on a Tuesday, wednesday or Thursday.\n\nGet there early--when the gates are open.\n\nGo to the most popular rides first, even if they are really far from the gate.  Some lines might take more than an hour to get through.\n\nStand next to your favorite people in line, because you might be next to them for ages!\n\nLadies-wear a one-piece suit because there are several "rides" where you might loose your top.\n\nBring towels and a bag with not-too-valuable stuff in it.  Use these to claim a set of chairs in a shady spot, especially near the middle of the park.  Send the kids back here if they become separated from the group.\n\nBring your own drinks. The park ones are so expensive you might forget to have fun.  Ditto the food.\n\nBring a big diaper pin.  Use this to pin your locker key inside your suit.  My kid lost the one on the band last year.  Big pain in the butt!\n\nWEAR HEAVY SUNBLOCK.  Put it on fresh every 2 hours, more if you are pale.  A bad burn will ruin your happy memories.\n\nDon't run anywhere.  Traction on those natural stones is pretty bad.   \n\nDon't forget that the water is not as clean and sanitary as it looks.  Don't spit it on your friends (gross!) and avoid opening eyes under water.\n\nDon't wear your best suit, especially if it is really colorful.  One of those pools had too much chlorine and my son's trunks faded a bit.\n\nDon't wear a knit suit.  It will get snagged and will make "pills."\n\nThere are always lots of discounts--check out soda cans.  \n\nArrive early and stay late.  Midday is a great time to leave the park, go to your hotel for a nap and come back when the crowds thin out, usually at 4 or 5.   If you don't live nearby, get a hotel room.   \n\nCheck weather in advance.  If there is lightning, they will close the park.  That said, cloudy days are generally more pleasant than sunny ones.  Less crowded too!\n\nTake more money than you think you'll need.  You'll need it.\n\nGO on all the rides you think will be too scarey.  They aren't and you will have great fun and great memories.\n\nHave a great time!  I wish I could go, too!!!!!

i saw them last year in Los Angeles, atmosphere is great, even saw some kids there, fire works, great music, they even do other songs besides theirs, they took people from the audience to create a band, they interact with everyone, very fun and exciting, one of the best concerts i have ever been too!!!

Well, there's no Glastonbury this year, and it is generally acclaimed as the best, so that opens the field (pardon the pun) up a bit.\n\nIt really depends what music you prefer, and whether tickets are available this late in the year. The Reading and Leeds weekend is good fun if you like the heavier side of rock and metal, but weekend tickets have already sold out for those, though there are some day tickets remaining. \n\nMy bet for a good one would be the Isle of Wight festival. It's got a great history, good reputation and a great lineup, isn't too busy (about 20,000 people), but again you'll have to blag a ticket as they sold out ages ago. \n\nAnd if you like dancier music the ones to check out would The Big Chill, which is in the most beautiful location in the Malvern Hills, and the Glade festival, which is at a 'secret location' near Reading, and will be the closest vibe to Glastonbury you'll get all summer

I'd like to go to a festival, if I can afford it, or at least go camping and do a ritual. Even before i was pagan it was one of my favorite days of the year.

I went to the Loop recently and it was really good, nice food, buzzing crowd and good jamz. It's the one off Oxford street in the little street between Gap and Next. You might need to book in advance though...

Its really cool. The history of the place is amazing. When your there they have pics of all of the big names that have passed through. I have seen Wu Tang Clan, Weezer and Steve Earl there. Its a smaller venue, so there really isn't a bad seat in the house. If you see a group there you like there, I would recommend it highly.

Get there early, and bring food/beer/water.  Beverages and food at the track are expensive ($6 for a beer or burger).  Sunscreen and earplugs are good.  Wear sneakers or some comfortable shoes, you'll be doing A LOT of walking.  If your gonna buy any souvenir or merchandise at the track, prepare to pay a lot.  I suggest renting a Nextel FanView for the weekend, those things are great.  It's sometimes hard to know what's going on at the track since you can't see everything and whatnot, the FanViews make up for that.  If your going down to the pits, you can't have open toed shoes, shorts, or sleeveless shirts.  I don't know about Chicagoland, but many tracks are hard to get out of afterwards, either get to your car quick to beat the traffic or be prepared to spend sometime getting out of there (I spent 5 hours in the parking lot at Phoenix a couple of years back).  And most importantly, HAVE FUN!!

Yes, we went there on our Honeymoon! It was beautiful in the Black Hills overall, but there was a very special sense of history and wonder at seeing the monument for us.  They have "shows" there every night, that tell about it, in this open amphitheater area.  It is just breathtaking!  If you are going, have a great time!
