The wristbands for the first weekend of the 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are in the mail and some have started arriving. Weekend 2 passes ship out the last week of March.

Reader Evan Thomas, who also runs the Travel Grom blog, shot video of the ceremonial unveiling of his Coachella wristband. Watch closely and you’ll even see The Pedley Mangler, the mysterious master of the grilled cheese whose legend looms large in Riverside. Thanks for sharing, Evan!

I kind of love that the calendar has a frame of art piece “Solitary Inflorescence.”
