The festival season is now complete in Indio (well, at least until the big Rolling Stones / McCartney shows are announced). Even with all of the music, celebs, beer, food, art, and parties that come along with Coachella and Stagecoach, there are still plenty of times where you just have to stop and look around to take in just how beautiful our Valley is.

Seriously though…

Some other things from the final day of Stagecoach 2016:

  • Coachella and Stagecoach knock-off items are ridiculous:

  • I spotted these gems at Albertson’s in Palm Desert while grabbing some party favors for the shuttle ride:

Don’t buy those, especially as a gift.

  • Sundays acts were well received by the tired / exhausted / hungover / barely-clinging-to-life Stagecoach crowd:

  • And speaking of tired and hungover, this guy was parked by Del Taco in Palm Desert all weekend:

$50 to get hooked up to an IV for 30 minutes. A small price to pay to get rid of that heavy head.

  • Stagecoach puppy!!

  • Shut up and take all of my tip money!

From the little I can see from Barkeep Bingo, it looks amazing.

As the 2016 Festival season closes, it is sad to see all of the excitement and crowds leave the Coachella Valley. But, it will be nice to not have to wait 2 hours at the local breakfast joints next weekend.
