The Coachella experience, now taking place at sea.

Since Coachella started in 1999, the music festival in Coachella, California, has grown by leaps and bounds.  Coachella now fills 6 days–two three-day weekends— in order to meet the demand of fans wanting to see the best music in the world.  Well, now Coachella is leaving Southern California and is heading out to sea.  Goldenvoice has announced a pair of branded Coachella music cruises, in which nearly 3000 fans will cram on board a boat bound for a Caribbean paradise to rock out to top-level acts.

The S.S. Coachella cruise will take place aboard the Celebrity Silhouette, a 1,000-foot, 122,000-ton ship with room for 2,800 fans, featuring 4-person cabins, alcoves, a half-acre of grass, and even a small theater that Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett called a “mini Royal Albert Hall.”  Goldenvoice is the promoter of Coachella.  The first tour, a 3-day cruise to The Bahamas, will depart on December 16; the first tour, a 4-day cruise to Jamaica, will depart on December 19.

Among the 20 musical guests will be LCD Soundsystem, Sleigh Bells, Girl Talk, Pulp, Hot Chip, and Yeasayer.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
