Disclaimer: I’m not adverse to paying a reasonable price, say $8 for a hamburger. But double that, and you’ve turned me into a food smuggler.

One of the complaints about Coachella was how long the vehicle searches were taking in the 100 degree heat.
I did not care for the music at EF, but the festival itself is quite crazy.
