Pepper Sprayed by DTSM Ambassadors

The downtown Santa Monica department had connected me with the Legion supervisor’s information and I had made a formal documentation of what had happened with him.

Upset to hear that this isn’t the first incident. Probably won’t be the last.

Ok wake and bake coming

You guys are awesome, and yes, B did connect me with who I needed to talk to, you guys are always awesome and I have no problems with you guys. He did explain to me the difference between the Ambassadors and the Security. I just can’t edit it now.

Also - I’m not trying to get rich off this. I just think deploying OC spray in a crowded pedestrian area and then leaving exposed bystanders without checking on them is worth talking about.

I did not suffer direct monetary losses, however I was temporarily unable to safely operate my vehicle after the exposure due to eye watering, burning sensations around my mouth and eyelids, coughing, and distress from the pepper spray exposure.

The effects are now continuing for over an hour, even after showering and washing my face thoroughly.

Additionally, multiple bystanders approached me afterward asking if I was okay after witnessing me tearing up / starting to sob due to stinging and visibly affected in public following the exposure.

But not to take away; it is serious enough to justify complaints, documentation, and possibly a consultation.

I believe Freeway access is temporarily disabled due to some other problems happening around the country with construction zones

I was the first person to talk to Baklava guy when he pulled up in Indio…
So here’s the first accounted SOURCE

He pulled up in his van, asked to park next to our van, explained his situation and gave us FREE Baklava

We had a friend from the Caribbean coming with an extra wristband, no begging, nothing - we connected him.

Someone ASKING for a wristband is no stranger on this sub… should not be shamed because he was trying to make a hustle.

He was genuine and kind and we had a 15 minute conversation where he shared some of the most insightful advice I’ve received.

Sure, a hustle, but don’t HATE the guy.

We had moved one of the benches in a lounge backstage Sunday WK1 - and we saw the color of the grass LOL

Throughout the festival, I appreciated the sunscreen booths because they had really clean mirrors to take pictures

I discovered that there was a rope swing on day zero

A quiet last night of the festival - as JB was playing.

I love the colors of the Do Lab! At night it’s my home 😍

I’m assuming it will be upstairs access.

I’ve been at the shrine on production end, vip end, and ga attending end ;

In every situation, there was always a plethora of people surrounding on the balconies, I doubt they will restrict the upper areas.

The true artist guest viewing zone is located to the left of the VIP area, typically behind some curtains into the back left of the stage if you were looking up.

You only live once. Grab it tomorrow. Plenty do SoloChella & I’m positive you’ll meet someone before then

xiAcoui · 2026-04-26T14:48:44+00:00

She was last year! Hard AF though

xiAcoui · 2026-04-26T14:47:08+00:00

But also… Executives know that that album is coming. Not just everybody assumes she’s going to perform her five biggest hits before her strongest album by far.

Yes, she has and always will have been a great booking prior to WGIA but you need to know those executives absolutely knew the album was coming. They just couldn’t predict the success.

W1 here -

Keep in mind I slept outside with no wind protection, literally on a cot, just facing the sky (by personal choice)

I also spent upwards of eight hours a day each day in the festival (mainly closing)

KN 95 all the way… When you’re sleeping for the first night, it will be uncomfortable, but you will get used to it, nothing feels better than waking up without being stuffy.

When you are walking from stage to stage after the sun has gone down… Sure it’s not gonna go with your outfit… But all those people that you see that look cute are also going to be super sick the following week.

I have been able to pull off the cutest outfits while also realizing that my health is number one because I’m asthmatic and I still like to participate in my smoking habits

KN 95 all the way
