Takamine Acoustic Guitar/ Coachella Weekend 2

#LAskeez is a daily blogger however yesterday our absences was felt throughout the inter-webs. Please accept my dearest apologies #skeezies.

A special package arrived early yesterday morning and to #LAskeez's surprise it was a Takamine P3MC Acoustic Guitar (hard leather case included)!!! Quite frankly the joy was overwhelming which led to #LAskeez spending the entire day enjoying the beautiful musical instrument. The guitar is light and very easy to handle. The built in tuner is another plus for anyone that is always misplacing their tuner or can't do it by ear. I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an acoustic guitar.

I'll even include this demo video for all you guitar playing #skeezies 

Moving on...

Coachella Weekend 2 is tomorrow! For all you folks headed down I have some insider tips from this past Weekend 1. 

Coachella Weekend 2 Top Ten Tips

1. When it's a high 90 degrees and you are sweating buckets head over to the "Fruttare" tent which is located near the Ferris Wheel. It offers free popsicles and AC! You are welcome.

2.  DO NOT chain hands with about 20 of your closest friends and attempt to walk through the Coachella crowd. Be your own person, branch out and do your own thing. 

3. If you are a female using the white trailer bathrooms DO NOT use the urinals. Urinals are for men and men only. There's plenty of port-a-potties. No need to pee in the one accidental urinal that happens to come with the white trailer restrooms. 

4. Wear shoes! Even sandals. Please DO NOT walk barefoot. Witnessing people walk out of the restrooms BAREFOOT is the grossest thing ever. It's unsanitary and I highly doubt anyones parents would be proud of that (same for the whole peeing in the urinal...yuck).

5. Get there early tomorrow to obtain a schedule booklet. Those things fly off the racks very quick. 

6. If you're going to be that drunk girl that sits on top of her friends shoulders. Don't fall. #LAskeez saw one too many failed attempts which all result in injury and are shaken off by laughter. We all know it hurt. 

7. It's an outdoor festival but that doesn't mean that the decibels aren't extremely high. So wear earplugs if you value your hearing and want to continue hearing properly. Hearing lost is unrepairable. It doesn't matter how much money you have, you can't get it back. 

8. There's always room towards the front you just have to be willing to get there. 

9. After your makeup is all gone from being towards the front of a stage and sweating buckets, head over to the Sephora tent for a touch up. They will take care you and put your face back on. 

10. If you are prone to claustrophobia stay far far away from the Yuma Tent. It's the only tent that's enclosed with not too many exits. Can someone say safety hazard?

Be Safe Weekend 2 folks!

The Knife/ Final Coachella Prepping Tips

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.

Hope the #skeezies are ready for the...

 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. 

Well #skeezies, it's the eve before Coachella. 

Hope the tips will serve helpful. 

Travel and stay safe. 

#LAskeez will see you there. 

Off to the desert we go! 

Eve before Coachella

Dodgers/ Coachella Prepping Tips II

How about them Dodgers? 

#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.

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!
