It's been less than 24 hours and more than a hundred of you have entered LAist's Portishead contest. The name of the game? To be considered, you have to comment with a tip for attending Coachella, where Portishead will be playing. If you win, you get a pair of tickets to a Los Angeles area private rehearsal a week from tomorrow. Here are some highlighted tips, good luck to you all! (And if you want to enter, do not comment on this post, comment on the contest post, but feel free to comment for fun here).

Eat a big breakfast in the morning; take advantage of the shade tents; realize that you'll miss some bands; wear a hat; apply sunscreen liberally; drink lots of water (be ready to flatten your bottles, for easier portability and pick empties off the top of trash cans) and have fun. Coachella is the best!
My "haha for fun" tip would be to skip the hot as hell festival in the desert (who's idea was that anyways!?) and find something more relaxing.
I'm a huge lover of The Rock Boat. Floating music festival! 30+ bands, tons of awesome laid back people, a couple Caribbean islands all wrapped into a 5 day vacation! Um hello... makes sense!
You should bring some toilet seat covers with you

Trust me, you will need them if you have to drop a deuce in one of those portable toilets.
Please don't bring walkie talkies. There is nothing good with them. They ruin everyone around them's experience hearing that sshshhht.....crackle..unintelligible.....crackle....sshhht over and over again and louder and louder each time.
Rock on Coachella!
