    I couldn’t help but root for the white trash cans in the center-right part of the foreground. I have no idea why.

    #4: I was rooting for the grass. (And I don’t mean the stuff lit in 3-foot bongs that are somehow smuggled in.)

    See how much trash gets left on the grass by the end of the night. But then it looks so sparkly and green at the start of the next day!

    My least favorite part of Coachella is when I’m too tired at night to stand but I don’t want to sit down in a field of blowing garbage.

    Wow, this is amazing! There’s piles of timelapse from Burning Man that this compares well with, in terms of scale, multiple days, etc (skysquid!). This should be in T-Minus, the timelapse film festival in NYC*, http://www.t-minus.org.

    Thanks Ray,

    The fun is to try to spot the naked guy being tased by the cops. -The Where’s Waldo for the new millennium.

    What are those lone boxes interspaced in the grass? Garbage cans?

    cool! You can see the Serpent Mother brought by the Flaming Lotus Girls center left of the view during the night. It is the squiggly line of light that ‘poofs’ fireballs at night. Extra points for spotting the occasional streams of unearthly colored methanol shooting out of the center!

    Getting claustrophobic just looking at it.
    Man, I wish I could deal with gynormous packed crowds like that, their lineups always look so fun!

    It would be interesting if there was a caption telling us which band was playing during the crowd build-ups.

    yeah, the white boxes are trash cans. cardboard, with lids that are quickly stolen and fashioned into visors.
