Coachella Organizers Offer Reward For Return of Waters' Pig

Coachella organizers are offering $10,000 and four festival tickets for life in exchange for the safe return of the two-story inflatable pig that broke loose during Roger Waters' festival-closing set Sunday night. Just before the intermission between Waters' two musical sets, the pig escaped and floated into the desert sky. Anyone with information on the lost pig, should email lostpig@coachella.com.

It's unknown if the release of the pig -- which sports the spray-painted message "Don't Be Led to the Slaughter" -- was planned. The pig -- which first emerged as Waters performed 'Pig' from 1977's 'Animals', also featured a depiction of Uncle Sam holding a meat cleaver and a graffiti scrawling of the name "Obama" with an unchecked ballot box next to it.

Waters' heavily touted, three-hour set included a full performance of Pink Floyd's 1973 classic 'Dark Side of the Moon,' major elements of 1979's 'The Wall' and Waters' solo material. Encores of Floyd smashes 'Another Brick In the Wall' and 'Comfortably Numb' concluded 2008's Coachella Festival with an intricate fireworks presentation.

If anyone has the pig, keep it hostage until Roger Waters and his management firm cleans up the mess he illegally dumped on the Indio people.

He was told NO CONFETTI or air drops of paper.
