You know it's that time of year again and you know we canvas the Coachella party scene better than anyone. Frankly, we are pretty blown away by the volume of events that will bombard the desert this weekend. Someone in the office said the count was in the neighborhood of 50, which means you better stock up on some Four Loko, 5-hour ENERGY shots or whatever other terrible substance you prefer to put in your body for party fuel, and make sure to bring plenty of Aleve and Gatorade, and perhaps a change of undies. From the fourth annual Neon Carnival and VIP gifting lounges, to literally dozens of daytime pool parties, there are more events to hit this weekend than ever before and we're here again to help you prioritize. So without further ado, we present to you the complete list of the top parties in the desert this weekend in our annual Coachella 2013 Weekend 1 Party Guide.

GofG L.A.'s favorite brash, hell-raising infant was back in full effect for Weekend 1 of Coachella. Much like his coverage of Sundance, Party Baby staked out this action-packed weekend and all of its wonders, from the festival to the parties and beyond, documenting his debaucherous journey throughout his very first Coachella experience. Living up to his reputation for being an absolute monster, Party Baby took this assignment on like a true beast without a care in the world. So here, in his own words, is an inside look at how Party Baby went totally H.A.M. all over Coachella 2012. More»

What you have to remember about Coachella parties is that there's no such thing as second best. Thursday to Sunday, late night show to poolside rager, each event is produced by serious talent, with serious funding, and is meant to be the best party of the year.
