A Field Guide To Sasquatch!
« Thread Started on Apr 19, 2011, 12:37am »
Hello Yeti, I am new here and sorta new to the rock festival phenomenon (I blasted at Bonnaroo last summer). Can't wait to get up there and do this thing!

Here is an helpful and humorous article from the Portland Mercury which I hope some may enjoy as much as I did.

In the light of day, a tweaker may be hard to identify, but here are some easy-to-spot red flags to avoid:

• Does your neighbor's camp have one of those multi-colored rotating lights?

• Are there shirtless guys with tattoos walking around?

• Are they blasting Thievery Corporation?

• Is anybody wearing a jester hat?

Stay far, far away from these warning signs.


I know that pale hipsters like to bitch about bros who walk around the campground without shirts on but get the fuck over yourselves. It's obscenely hot. And someone please confirm that no one at the Portland fucking Mercury has an embarrassing tattoo or twelve.

The Portland Mercury consists of nothing more than several full sleeve tattoos and a lofty sense of entitlement. That being said, I enjoy the letters to the editor, the fake gossip column, Savage Love, and the back page of comments.

Also, based on that description of "tweakers," it seems like whoever wrote that does not know what a tweaker is. A campsite with lights and a shirtless guy and some weird hats sounds pretty par for the course at Sasquatch. While it does seem likely there are high drugs, tweak is not it. And what tweaker would be able to enjoy/afford to go to Sasquatch anyway?

Perhaps the author had a frightening experience somewhere, while ICP played on the stereo in the background.

(like a movie!) :o

The Merc recycles that same dumb article about Sasquatch every year and just rotates different trendy/current drug and style cliche jokes. I imagine it is written by a staffer who went to Sasquatch once like five years ago.

My friend, you will have the absolute time of your life at Sasquatch, it is just that the Mercury does not do a very good job of capturing the spirit/experience.

Self-pity won't get you far, however.
