As a pet owner, you come to expect that July 4, maybe December 31, and possibly a Coachella performance will be full of loud (and now, unnecessary) explosions that will terrify your animals. As much as it sucks for your scared dogs or cats, at least you know it’s coming on those days and can plan ahead. Unfortunately, the Coachella Valley is chock full of a bunch of rich country clubs that fire off loud explosions in the sky for seemingly no reason and without any warning randomly throughout the year because, well, they’re assholes, I guess.
I bring this up because The Vintage Club in Indian Wells is planning a 10-minute firework display on Saturday and, because the desert is a perfect echo chamber, it’s expected that they will be heard all the way to Palm Desert and beyond.
What’s the fireworks show all about? I don’t know. Maybe it’s to celebrate another zillion dollar clubhouse, all the money they’re making off the GOP tax cut, or some obscure Canadian holiday. It doesn’t really matter.
Whatever it is, once again, my cats and all the neighborhood dogs will fucking hate it, just like they do the other six or seven random fireworks shows that these wealthy people country clubs fire off throughout the year in the Coachella Valley with basically no warning.
Look, we get it rich people, you’re wealthier than the rest of us we will ever be. You don’t need to flaunt with your dumb fireworks.
