If you opened any Southern California paper leading up to the Coachella festival, you'd find tons of tips for managing the intense desert heat, one of which is a simple one: wear a hat. But it's safe to say no health professional would recommend wearing a giant teddybear head and a full suit in 100-degree heat, yet that's exactly how Sweden's Teddybears showed up at the Spin suite.
In the Spin Suite: Spank Rock

Baltimore's Spank Rock quickly segued from bloggystyle adoration to live gigs opening for the likes of Gnarls Barkley. At Coachella, the duo anchored a late-night, dance-friendly alternative to the Rage Against the Machine reunion, teaming up with Teddybears to close out the action inside the festival's Gobi Tent.

A little person in an anti-Bush T-shirt walks by (in case you were the only one who felt small during this administration). Another guy, of medium-height, is wearing a homemade white T-shirt with the slogan "Free Peltier. The American Indian Movement is Still Alive" written in black marker (in case you forgot that Rage Against the Machine were playing later).
Happiness Is a Warm Pretzel
A journey to the dance tent for Happy Mondays yields only a faint taste of original Hacienda flavor.

"Tanks-a-Lot. We'll Get You Back on Your Throne" is written on a septic truck that drives by. There's a very last booth at the very furthest corner of the entire festival. They're selling pizza. They have a tip jar. The sign on it says, "We Knead Your Dough." There's a pretzel stand right outside the Mojave Tent.
