• xenijardin: Substances do act as great equalizer, though. Whether nobody or star, if you consume enough you will become the same slobbering meatsack.

• xenijardin: "No what do you NEED? Cokeacidexstacywhat? Cmon!" I always feel odd surrounded by folks on drugs, even more when as many paparazzi present.

  06:00:00 pm on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: One artist told me, upon walking into party, friend of host pulled them aside and asked "so what do you need?" maybe some water, they said.

• xenijardin: As a long-sober person, the rarified air of the more exclusive Coachella parties is always odd to breathe.

• xenijardin: In life, and at Coachella, you take the good with the bad.

  07:19:21 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Pretty much sums up Coachella for me. Great adventures hanging w/amazing, cool artists. And drunk, coked-out celebrities snotting on my car.

  07:17:23 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: I feel embarassed, as they knew him, but his snotstains still on my window, celebrity or not. "he won't remember tmrw anyway," she says.

  07:13:38 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Bangs on my car, I yell at him, drive off. Bandmembers LOL. Then I learn he's famous DJ behind ubiquitously touched single at all parties.

  07:10:24 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Push him out, close windows fast, tell to go away, leave band alone. He yells "asshole," wipes face on my car, leaves snotstains on glass.

  07:07:04 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: We're about to pull away, lots of drunk celebrities&hipsters milling about. A super trashed aggro guy reaches in, paws at female bandmember.

  07:04:39 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Each DJ touched this track once in their set it seemed. So I end up at yet another party, about to drive off w/ a Coachella band in my car.

  07:03:08 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: At each of these big mansion celebrity party things at Coachella, the DJ at one point spins or remixes this 1 song that's hot right now.

• xenijardin: Merv & friends, shot in his office where I'm sitting now. http://twitpic.com/1gp3z5 http://twitpic.com/1gp3z8 http://twitpic.com/1gp41q

• xenijardin: Don't ask me for the all access passes, I just gave them to some kids who would never otherwise make it over the velvet rope.

  01:11:07 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Indio sherriffs are here at the Merv Griffin estate, mackin' on models and ravers poolside. Coachella comes but once a year.

  01:09:44 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: I'm gonna hand off these #coachella backstage passes to some trufan who will be respectful of artists but has the music in their heart.

  01:06:31 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: @PhilipNelson, thanks for all of your help with the #coachella webcast this weekend. Tricaster is a magic machine for live web video.

  01:04:17 am on April 19, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Probably 500 BPs (beautiful people) here. Ladies: if in your 3rd trimester of pregnancy, bikini & trampstamp is not a great look for you.

• xenijardin: Every organizational aspect of Coachella festval event production is a mess. Epic clusterfail all around on venue logistics.

  01:49:09 am on April 18, 2010 |
   

• xenijardin: Doing ustream.tv/coachellaoasis webcast. Most common reply to my "How's it feel to be partying at Merv Griffin's mansion?" is "Who's he?"
