Inflatable pig escapes festival
Catch a floating pig, if you can.
The reward? Ten thousand dollars and four tickets for life to the Coachella Music & Arts Festival.
A two-story, tethered, inflatable white pig -- the size of a school bus -- was part of musician Roger Waters’ performance, which closed the festival Sunday night. About 9:30 p.m., “the pig broke loose,” said Marcee Rondan, a spokeswoman for Goldenvoice, the company that produces the Coachella event. “It escaped and floated into the desert sky.”
According to the Desert Sun newspaper, the pig displayed the words “Don’t be led to the slaughter” and a cartoon of Uncle Sam with two bloody cleavers. The pig’s underside read “Obama,” with a checked ballot box alongside. Anyone with information should e-mail lostpig@coachella.com.-- Margot Roosevelt
