Hi Gang,

I am not making this post to garner sympathy but rather find another way to carry on the legacy of my amazing partner. One month ago today, I unexpectedly lost my partner is his sleep. We were best friends since 2013 but never single at the same time until the latter half of 2021 when we finally decided to give it a go. It was the utter best year and a half of my life and there's no other way to put this other than it sucks. I got to take him to Portola last year and it was the most amazing weekend. I was going to bring him to his first Coachella this year but obviously I no longer have this opportunity. So this is where I am looking for help. My partner was a philanthropist with a heart of gold so I do not feel comfortable making money off selling his wristband. I want to give away his wristband as well as a spot in our AirBnb, preferably to a member of our LGBTQ+ community. So, if you're a member of my community, please send me a message telling me why you'd like to go this year and what was limiting you from going. Your wristband will be paid for. Your own room in the house will be paid for and you will be part of our Coachella family. You'll need to get your own shuttle pass as well as fund your own intake out at the festival but I'm gonna save you about $1200. This is what my Joe would want me to do so this is what I am doing. We are open to two people so if you're a couple, that is cool too, but we will need to get the second person an additional wristband and you will be on your own for that.
