No-chella?

So I want to go to Coachella.
To be there, the tickets are an understandable $270.

I mean, it's costly, but it's Paul fucking McCartney, Leonard Cohen, (along with a bunch of the best indie bands you don't know) The Black Keys, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, The Chemical Brothers, even The Crystal Method will be there. Get Busy Child still reverbs my skull from the wake-ups on the first morning of my Frosh Week, when it's sticky bass pulses penetrated the hollow cinderblocks beside my pillow at sunrise. It's a lot of money, but I get it.

What I can't understand is the cost to sleep there.

Our accomodation options:
My friend and I can pay $1100 for 3 nights in a hotel in Palm Springs,

or

we can pay $150 for 3 nights in a condo in Palm Springs, found on the amazingly fecund craigslist.


Also fecund, not buying a hotel room for Coachella


The hotel room as a monopoly on accomodations ?
I'm not buying it.

Couchsurfing.
Craigslist.

It's the future, and it's cheaper than 8 babies.
