I'm sure that Coachella is totally worth the money. I've always wanted to go. And I've certainly been known to spend as much or more than that on a trip to Burningman. The question is more of having the money and valuing it in comparison to other things.
I'm lucky to have a great music festival (Pickathon) in my back yard that satisfies my major festival itch. And if I had the money, I'd definitely go to Coachella. I just don't have the extra $800 or so it would really take. Cool stuff though. Judah On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 2:53 PM, Cameron Childress <[email protected]> wrote: > > Way more than $350.
