One Day 'til Coachella - Final Thoughts Before Hitting the Road

It's going to be HOT this year folks.  Come prepared.  Not only do you need the necessities I mentioned in a post many years ago, but I'd like to add to it by setting up my updated Coachella packing list.

You need the usual stuff mentioned in the previous post as well, but here are a few things I'd definitely add to this list on the eve of my 14th Coachella:

• Lip balm (not sure why this never made the list before)
• A hat (Ibid.)
• The official Coachella app (gets better every year)
• Bandana (or something to cover your face in case we get another damn sandstorm worthy of a Darude-like ninth ring of hell)
• Sweatshirt (or something warm, again, in case of sandstorm.  We stood in line at merch for 45 minutes last year due to poor weather and poor planning)

 And then of course there's the original list of stuff:

• Tickets
• Hotel reservations
• Phone and charger
• Sunblock
• ATM card, credit card, and ID
• several pairs of shorts
• several shirts
• PJs
• Unna-ma-pants
• sox
• shoes (not good ones, closed-toe, they're going to get dirty)
• medications
• toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, contact solution, floss, and for chrissakes, deodorant
• extra contact lenses
• glasses
• music (duh)
• reading material
• camera and case
• $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 'Tis the season.  Let's live.
