7. Pack an Itinerary: There are tons of things to do at the Coachella Fest, but if you only have a one-day pass, use your time wisely. If you've been waiting all year to see Death Cab for Cuties, you might have to get there pretty early. However, don't limit yourself. Walk around, visit some of the exhibits, meet new people, buy some merchandise, and see things you've never seen before.
8. Bring Extra Film, Batteries, and/or Memory Cards: Video recording devices are not allowed past the gate, but with a still camera you can snap to your heart's delight. Keep your camera (especially your batteries) in a cool, safe place to avoid melting. Make sure to keep your phone well charged in case you need to make a phone call, which brings us to our next point…
9. Communicate With Your Friends: Imagine being with a group of friends, enjoying the festival, and the next minute, they've disappeared. Make a plan, double check cell phone numbers, and decide early on where to go if you're suddenly alone. Default meeting points that are easy to find and easy to remember are a must.
10. Have the Time of Your Life: Remember, people literally come from all over the world to experience the Coachella Fest. It's all about the music, having fun, and gaining new experiences. And aren't you lucky for having a warm bed to come home to at the end of the day?
