The whole driving to and from the fest hasn't even crossed my mind. I can't imagine any of my group will be in the state of mind to drive at all. I just don't see how it's worth the risk at all when the shuttle is only $75 for the whole weekend. The only reason we're renting the car is because we have a solid 2+ hr drive from LAX to that Palm Desert area so we kind of have to. For people who usually drive, is it really that relaxed with law enforcement given the short distance that it's not a big deal? Or do you guys usually just have a DD? That's the adult way to handle it obviously but I doubt anyone will want to.
Just assign 1 person to be DD each day. It's really hard to get drunk at Coachella with the alcohol jails. Though if you're referring to drugs, that of course doesn't matter. I personally would do day parking any day over the shuttle. The walk is further, you have to wait, you have to deal with fuckboys on the bus, etc. Day parking is such a breeze.

I only encountered one annoying person on the shuttles (she had to pee and was a spaz about it). On the way "home" everyone is usually pretty subdued in my experience lol. But I did find day parking to be easier, if DDing is not an issue.
It's pretty simple. If you or one of your friends is willing to be sober, day park. If not, use the shuttles. Don't drive drunk.
My group is a bunch of degenerates so we all get drunk at the pool each morning and are pretty buzzed when we get to the fields. Shuttles work fine - convenient, never had a problem with quack boys, opportunity for more drinking.
Anyone else not call Baymont and still have their reservation showing on booking.com?
Ha, though undoubtedly they've canceled it on their end. Whats funny is, if you were to keep the reservation on Booking.com, and showed up at Baymont next year and they didnt have a room for you, you could call Booking.com and they'd be forced to put you in a comparable hotel for the weekend, at no charge. Nice to have that in your back pocket.
My best friend who lives in the midwest (I live in LA) I had spent years trying to get to go to Coachella. He was firmly in the "I'm sure it's no different than any other major U.S. fest" camp. I begrudgingly got him to come this year after going to a fest near him in 2016, and he sent me this text today:
"Part of me wants to come back to Coachella this year, part of me wants to just keep last year's as my one trip because it was pretty close to perfect and sequels are never as good."
Good problem to have, and looks like we got a convert.

Tell him it's less exciting but equally as rewarding to go the second year
