Coachella Friends & Family ~ Celebs and LA natives make Coachella a family affair

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Gone are the days when you’d sneak out, meet your dealer and head for the desert on an empty tank of gas. The new Coachella trend this year is the family plan. En vogue are the those who share a ride from home (Carpoolchella!!!), put it all on one credit card and keep it in the family. Celebrities and LA people seen as families at the festival this year:

  • Melanie Griffith with children Dakota and Jesse
  • Beyonce Knowles with sister to Solange watching husband Jay Z
  • Maria Shriver + daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger
  • Atlanta de Cadenet with her sister
  • Nicky Hitlon + sister Paris Hitlon and her bf David Katzenberg
  • Michael Wayans, Damon Wayans and Shawn Wayans at Music Loves Fashion
  • Brothers Sam & Ben Keywanfar throw Music Love Fashion party at the Riviera
  • Bolthouse keeps it in the family with 944 as a sponsor (he is the mag’s publisher)
  • Lou Adler brought along 5 year old son Oscar Adler and his older son Cisco Adler was there as well
  • Steve Birkhold, President and CEO of Lacoste USA, brought along his wife Nicole Birkhold to the Lacoste pool parties
  • Jamie Kantrowitz (Harvard-Westlake, Oakwood ’95) & Chris Kantrowitz (Buckley ’92) came as a pair – best looking and coolest brother sister team around
  • Designer Magda Berliner & photographer Alex Berliner brought their teenage daughter & her besties
  • The Winklevoss Twins rolled into Neon Carnival with friends on break from Oxford ~ Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss will be portrayed in the upcoming Facebook movie as the initial brains behind Facebook
  • Danny Masterson with brother Jordy + sister Alana
  • Kelly Osbourne attended the festival + brother Jack Osbourne was at Neon Carnival
  • DJ Jon Alagem + sister Alexis Alagem
  • Harley Viera-Newton (Crossroads School ’06) drove out to the desert with Rio Viera-Newton (Crossroads School ’12)
  • Haley & David Hasslehoff went on the slides at Neon Carnival – and the ferris wheel
  • Half brother-sister Lily Waronker & Joey Waronker - Joey played on stage with Thom Yorke’s new band Coachella!

To add to the family experience parties were being extra sensative to the needs required for desert survival!

  • Lacoste gave plenty of sunblock to guests coming into the pool party, and flashlights on the way out. They also stocked the party full of food and fruit popsicles for vitamins and anti-oxidants replenishment!
  • Brent Bolthouse had walls of Brita water coolers and cups lining the entire entrance & exit to his air hanger carnival along with tons of food from ChipotleFatburger & Moose munch.
  • Bing shuttles took inebriated and tired guests back to their hotels from the midnight oasis in the desert.

If you have been reading the Daily Truffle for a few months, you know that the subject of art in LA (or lack of it) is very important to us.

Spending a lot of my childhood in NYC, and being exposed to museums and amazing exhibits, I developed a liking for anything art related at a very early age.

I am now pleased to say that within the past few months, LA has progressed significantly.  Saturday night alone there were 2 shows focused on photographers; however we still want moreeee! Click to Continue Reading
