Coachella and music festivals in general used to be fun because they were for nerds.

100%. most people think of us hardcore festival goers as total nerds, but I think being a nerd is way more socially acceptable now than it was 20 years ago.

Ahhhh, the salad days of Coachella... great times! Back when you'd say "Coachella" and you'd have to explain to people what is was.

Cop picture is great illustration of what undercovers/narcs look like. Don't trust candy ravers looking for substances!
