    Most people visiting the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio last weekend likely weren't spending much time in their hotel rooms. As a result, thieves took advantage, striking at least five hotel rooms at the five-star La Quinta Resort and Club, several people who had items stolen told SFGATE. On returning to the hotel on Friday, several groups of guests found their rooms meticulously ransacked.

    This may come as a shock if you’re Gen X or older, but 1987 was nearly four decades ago. I was forced to confront this jarring fact after watching “Freaky Tales,” a new film set in Oakland at the tail end of the Ronald Regan-era – or, as the kids call it, “the late 1900s.”The film is fiction, but several of its key plotlines are based on things that actually happened, like an infamous brawl between punks and Nazi skinheads outside Berkeley punk club 924 Gilman.

    Blissed out with 1,000 other bodiesI’ve often joked that I’m a terrible San Franciscan because I don’t like to wait in line. Not at new food halls, not for brunch, not even to eat the best croissants in the country. Which is why when my friend texted me last Friday at 6:45 p.m. to say she was already in line for the event we were going to at 8 p.m., I got a little panicky.

    Questions abounded over whether this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival would feature many political statements. On Saturday night, politics took center stage when Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders appeared, fresh off an event earlier in the day in Los Angeles alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that drew 36,000 spectators. Just before singer-songwriter Clairo's set, Sanders walked up to raucous applause.
