It's still months away but everyone needs to talk about it given that the line up was announced yesterday and the tickets go on sale today! Headlining the festival is ACDC, Jack White, and Drake.
Not to mention all the cool awesome bands that are in smaller font such as Caribou, Azealia Banks, FKA Twigs, Chet Faker, and Toro y Moi--- just to name a few! Like the last two years, Coachella will consist of two weekends. Same line-up, same awesomeness to please the masses.
Here are a few music videos to get you into the Coachella spirit! If you're trying to get tickets today, good luck!
Sadly Team USA couldn't move passed Belgium during yesterdays soccer match but they played with great intensity and heart. The odds had certainly been against them from their first match but yet they managed to get as far as they did. Good job Team USA, America recognizes your hard work and effort.
Enough with the boohoo we didn't win nonsense let's talk about a great show that is going on tonight at the Echo! Young & Sick will be performing and it should be a great one. #LAskeez will be in attendance checking them out for the first time since Coachella.
Allow me to reintroduce Young & Sick...
They are LA based and they're all about the arts and music. So naturally we should expect the merch and visuals to be stimulating.
And if you want to say you really know about the band you can tell other #skeezies about the art work designs they have done for Maroon 5, Foster the People, and even Robin Thicke.
The Knife FINALLY came back from their hiatus and performed last night at The Fox Theatre in Pomona.
Although no one is ever excited to make the drive out to no man's land for a show that will typically make a stop in LA, for whatever reason The Knife decided to make one stop before Coachella and they picked The Fox. It had been a couple years since they last played so everyone and their mothers showed up excited and ready for the sold-out dance part-ay. Do not forget to watch them tomorrow at Coachella. They will perform at the outside stage from 10:30-11:30pm.

FINAL 5 Coachella Prepping Tips!
Here they are:
11. The nice restrooms that look like an actual bathroom (with a sink and all) are located inside the white trailer that is at the very end of every cluster of port-a-potties. #LAskeez doesn't do port-a-potties and neither should you.
12. Ride the Ferris Wheel at night. You're welcome.
13. Take your favorite pair of shades and a small scarf just in case the winds kick up. Last year ppl were coughing from all the dust/dirt they were inhaling. It's the desert folks! You need to be prepared for all situations.
14. You can either take one of those phone cases that charge your phone throughout the day or head over to the "charging station" to charge your phone. You're not the only one trying to upload photos on to FB or IG so be prepared to wait for that needed charge.
15. The signing booth. For all you know your favorite artist/ band has a meet and greet going on so here's your chance to go meet them. Most folks are too overly stimulated by the rest of the festival and tend to overlook this neat opportunity.
Bonus: Register your wristband! Set-times are officially up.
#LAskeez made it out to the Chavez Ravine last night to cheer on the Boys in Blue as they faced the Detroit Tigers.
When the first pitch is thrown by Ice Cube himself you know it's going to be a good game.
Not to mention a sold out crowd that all expected to get free dodger hoodies.
The game went into one extra inning but thanks to Carl Crawford's hitting, he brought in a runner and the Dodgers won.
A few additions to the menu throughout the stadium are: BBQ Beef Brisket, Gelato and Cannoli! All overpriced like the $7 garlic fries #LAskeez purchased but overpriced food is just part of the game. Don't forget #skeezies you can always take your own food and water bottles (only sealed) into the stadium.
There were also a few additions outside the stadium which are featured in the photos below.

Hope the #skeezies memorized yesterday's tips because here's 5 more coming at you!
Coachella Count down
Prepping Tips for Your Coachella Weekend:
6. It doesn't matter how excited you are to experience your first Coachella part-ay. You need to RSVP! If your name is not on the list there's about a hundred another ppl standing behind you that remembered to RSVP.
7. I may be channeling this from someone I know but do not purchase a Coachella ticket and expect to crash at your friends hotel. Most people have reserved their room a whole year in advance and it's rude and inconsiderate to the experienced Coachella goer.
8. Do not try "pre-gaming" in the car right when you park. It's a long walk to the Coachella grounds and most drunks can't hold their bladder. No one wants to see you peeing behind a tree or the port-a-potties (because the line is to long) or on the path to the festival. If you need to drink and are of age, wait until you are in the beer garden.
9. Take a quick look at the parking map. You will realize there are really really far lots and significantly closer ones. (still not close enough for you to drink so don't think about it)
10. The Coachella crowd is very friendly and will return lost items to the "lost and found" but the last thing anyone wants to do is spend their entire festival day in the "lost and found" line. Do yourself a favor and take a purse, man-bag, back-pack, fanny pack, or ANYTHING with a zipper! Keep those smart phones and wallets close.
That's it for today #skeezies. The 5 final Coachella tips will be posted tomorrow!
As #LAskeez was enjoying a typical morning cup of coffee today, one thing popped out of the LA Times: UCONN WINS IT ALL.
Really?
UConn?
March Madness truly is unpredictable.
No wonder Warren Buffet offered a BILLION dollar prize to whom ever could predict the winner from every single game.
Nevertheless Congrats to the Huskies and enjoy the moment.
I hope that viral Kentucky Fan with the "2014 national champions" tattoo knows a good Doctor that can remove it for him. Or maybe someone can hook him up with just "X"ing the 4 from the 2014 and add a 5. Although the odds of them returning to the National Championship Court again are slim to none, it doesn't hurt to update the ink to make it seem relevant.

Coachella 2014 Line Up
Prepping Tips for Your Coachella Weekend: 1. Pre-Pick your outfits [day & night outfits] this is important because you can not look rachett out there. 2. Take your swim suit and flip flops to the day partays and keep it that way. Do not wear that inside the festival. Someone WILL step on your flip flops and it will hurt. It will hurt a lot.
3. Take and apply sunscreen and/or take a hat. No one wants to see your skin peeling after Day 1. 4. HYDRATE. HYDRATE. HYDRATE. Coachella allows you to take in empty water bottles to refill inside the festival. Time and time again I see HUNDREDs of ppl dehydrated in the Medic Tent and that's not a cute look. 5. Know who you want to see perform throughout the day and check the set-times! Looking lost and standing in the middle of a crowd is another not so cute look.
Memorize and Review these 5 tips until you understand. 5 more Coachella tips will be posted tomorrow.
What's today's #skeez?
#LAskeez will try to head over to Dodger Stadium to see the Boys in Blue take on the Detroit Tigers!
