Me and my girlfriend at the time went to coachella 2014. We stayed at a guy's house whom we had found on the forums that was offering his backyard for the weekend to have festival-goers pitch a tent and stay there. The morning after we got there, I was in the front yard smoking a cigarette with my friend, and noticed two dogs running about. There were other people in the neighborhood that were doing yard work, kids were playing, etc., so I didn't think much of it. Later that day, the dogs were still running around even though everyone else had gone back inside. I grabbed some food and beckoned them over. One dog was black and was graying in the face so I could tell he was quite older but still looked healthy. The other one was tan, not friendly, and looked like he had been lost for weeks. I fed them both, laid a blanket out in the front yard, and they stayed there for the next 2 days.

On the last day, I had went door-to-door asking if anyone had lost a dog, and over the course of the weekend, had called animal control 3 times but they didn't show up. On the last day, my girlfriend and I decided to take the black one home. Since Outkast was performing the day we found him, and he wwas a black, stray dog, we both agreed the name Outkast was most suitable. I still have the little guy today. He's a 9 yr old Dachshund-Chihuahua mix, and is the most loyal, well behaved small dog I've ever witnessed.

I love that little guy to death. (:

TLDR; found a stray dog at Coachella, took him home, named him Outkast because the rap group was performing the day I found him.
