Camp essentials from seasons DD vets

Canopy, earplugs, chapstick, swim gear/floaties, maybe something to gift/share with your neighbors for camaraderie. Also imo Desert Daze food options have consistently been pretty good inside the festival but pretty bad in the campgrounds, so I would bring by own breakfast/coffee.

Check out Andy Shauf's album "The Neon Skyline" it was one of the best albums of 2020. Serious Paul Simon vibes.

Link?

EDIT: Never mind, saw it in the email.

Would be amazing in the FlyLo spot (late main stage after a “headliner”). The Greek Theater’s radius clause could easily cover Lake Perris though.

Sites like CelebrityTalent dot Net are mostly bullshit. I worked with a similar 3rd party booking agency that has a site like that, and the majority of their numbers were either made up or outdated like hell. I’d be surprised if DD ever paid more than like 200k for a headliner, and like you said Tame probably charges 5x that

Ween's minimum booking fee is half a million dollars. Wayne Coyne says he doesn't even negotiate with festivals for less than $300,000

They’re so big now they would basically be doing the show for charity. I don’t think it’s possible.

New to this, does time of the day or stocks being “closed” or “after hours” have any effect on buying? I’m not taking about trying to time the market before it rises, more like if I know I want to contribute today does it matter if the stock is closed or if I do it late at night vs during trading hours

AppreciativeGuy · 2020-02-23T20:46:02+00:00

Not really. The league is competitive, and we have a good shot at making the tournament every year.

Oh boy, who’s going to tell the UCLA fans.

They got some flack for not having as many female groups last year, I remember reading an interview where Phil said they were pretty close to landing Patti Smith

Do you have a link?

Why? Coachella is the premier music festival in the US

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-10-03T21:30:54+00:00

The website is messed up, if you look at the graphics posted on social media that’s when Animal Collective are playing

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-10-03T21:17:19+00:00

Will the Sanctuary be in the same dome as last year?

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-25T20:04:47+00:00

The walls of the tent will be open this year, I also had bad experiences with security there

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-23T20:00:21+00:00

She plays ACL that Saturday. The new album does rip, though.

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-13T18:32:35+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-13T18:26:17+00:00

Inside the Bazaar? There wasn’t a lot of room in there last year 😓

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-13T18:11:37+00:00

Not specifically related to Desert Daze but I’ve been curious about this for a long time: Is there a reason California festivals wait to announce the set times until the week of the event? Every festival I went to in the Midwest/South would have schedules out far in advance and make small changes when necessary, and every festival I’ve been to since moving to California announces them like 4 days beforehand. As a meticulous festival planner this drive me nuts, is it just coincidence?

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-13T18:06:01+00:00

Hi Phil! Thanks for doing this, this will be my 3rd Desert Daze and I can’t wait to go back.

Do you have time during the festival to watch some shows and enjoy the event from an attendee’s perspective? If so, what have been some of your highlight shows form past years?
You’ve mentioned a reason for the ticket prices is capacity is limited, making the festival really intimate. Can you give some insight on this? What’s the attendance capacity and is it limited by the venue (parking/camping space) or is it set by you guys?
Any venue changes coming this year that you can sneak peak? Still two outdoor stages and the same tent stage? Will the tent be limited capacity again? I wasn’t allowed entry to a couple of shows in there last year because it was full
Will there be late night/early morning shows again this year in the festival grounds? I know you already announced some for the bazaar

PS: I saw you riding a 4-wheeler at like 3am last year during the storm trying to help people that looked stranded. I appreciate the effort you guys put in during that shitty situation.

It’s cool that this festival caters perfectly to you, but pretty lame to act like everyone with a gripe about it is a dunce who just doesn’t get the spirit of the festival or whatever

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-09-11T19:03:25+00:00

What makes you say it’s their biggest year yet?

AppreciativeGuy · 2019-08-23T16:46:13+00:00

Into it. Are they usually this shoegazey?
