CACTUS COOLER

UTA kicked off its Coachella revels with a party at The Nest in Palm Desert. Guests of note included CEO Jeremy Zimmer, Spotify Global Head of Music Jeremy Erlich, artists Tyga, YG and Saweetie, Ultra Records prez David Waxman and the folks pictured below. Per the court order, we stayed at least 500 feet away at all times.


UTA partner and Co-Head of Music David Zedeck (r) and the agency's Kevin Gimble share tips for desert survival. Top of the list: Always have a flask of 18-year-old single malt.


Co-Head of Music Sam Kirby Yoh (l) and agents Janet Kim and Carlos Abreu enjoy a 12-second interval with their phones off.


UTA's Chris Jordan and artist Tyga discuss rumors about a HITS staffer at last year's fest who took too many happy pills and became romantically involved with a saguaro. We're told they're rekindling the relationship this weekend.


The agency's Mike G, Nigel Meiojas, Akhil Jedge and Jbeau Lewis hadn't seen Bad Bunny yet, but they had spotted 271 jackrabbits.
