Desert Trip 2016: $150 Million In Revenue Expected.

Media reports are circulating that the gate revenue for Desert Trip here in the Coachella Valley during the next two weekends will top more than $150 MILLION. This has got to be some sort of a world record. Anyway....I am ready to party. Got the tickets...and checked off the big list....

I cannot wait for next weekend. Desert Trip has arrived here in the Coachella Valley and I am preparing for this historical weekend at the Empire Polo Fields to see The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney. Roger Waters, The Who, and Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

This will be my FIRST three day concert in years...and my first ever at the legendary Empire Polo Fields. This magical location hugs the Santa Rosa and San Jacincto Mountain ranges and is nestled in the tranquil enclave of Indio/La Quinta area.

I have tickets for the OPENING WEEKEND....Oct. 7, 8 and 9.

Even though I live just 15 to 20 miles from the concert location (from where the crow flies from the west), the details to actually get to the Empire Polo Fields will be a challenge. This past weekend, I spent doing a "dry run" to check out the site, the parking locations, security details, as well as what I can actually bring into the concert....and what is off limits....

Parking: I am actually going to be parking OFF SITE at the Tennis Center in Indian Wells and then taking a shuttle to the Empire Polo Fields.

Looks like I am going to be missing Round 2 of the Presidential Debate on Sunday between Trump and Clinton. Oh Well. No worries. I am watching real history LIVE and in PERSON at Desert Trip...and have the best seat in the house!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
