I was really hoping I'd get to see The Hold Steady, but if things shape up the way they do there is little chance. It wouldn't be worth it to try and make my way over to wookie in time. I guess I'll be at main stage from 5:40 - 11:30 on Saturday. Also Laura Marling vs. Patrick Watson...easy choice with PW but still wanted to see Ms. Marling.
Sunday looks like i'll be bouncing back between stages alot.
Monday is looking like the easiest day, still can't belive Japandriods are on Yeti though...

I really can't imagine The Hold Steady not playing the main stage. If they even partially go up against My Morning Jacket or the National I'll be livid.
Edit: Just saw where they were listed. My bad. Saturday's going to have conflicts for sure. Yikes.

i really fail to see why Nada Surf or New Pornographers would be on the wookie stage, if i remember right the new pornos were in an evening slot on the mainstage in 08. them conflicting with MGMT would make me jump off a cliff into the gorge.

In that spreadsheet the only serious conflict I see is the National vs. The Hold Steady. I've seen the Hold Steady and couldn't bare to miss the National, so that's easy. It would be a shame to miss the Hold Steady though. I hope i can convince my girlfriend to see Public Enemy since she can't stand Vampire Weekend.
Love the New Pornographers going up against Ween. I thought that I'd like Ween but I cannot get into them at all and I've wanted to see TNP for a while. There's also some opportunity to see comedy on Sunday as well. Hopefully the real schedule is pretty close to that one.

I'd like to see MGMT but the NP would definitely take my attention if I had to choose. I could see why some would be upset though. Usually no one goes up against the headliners... is that different during the Monday shows?

that's a pretty depressing change if they're taking some bands that would have otherwise been in a 5pm or so mainstage slot and pooping them to headlining wookie. there's literally no advantage to this, and it only creates more conflicts.

In years past I really haven't had much issues with bands that I've been dying to see overlapping with others that I'm looking forward to seeing. Unfortunately for me, that won't be the case this year:
Saturday
-The Hold Steady/Public Enemy back to back basically negating Vampire Weekend as well as Public Enemy cutting into My Morning Jacket
Sunday
-The tail end of Dirty Projectors set will coincide with Pavement and there's no way I'm missing a second of Pavement's set
-Girls vs. Tegan and Sara, seen both so I don't know which way I'll go with that one.
Monday
-No Age will probably coincide with most of She & Him's set and even though I've yet to see She & Him, No Age are going to most likely win out

On a side note that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread (but rather the idea of it, my apologies) my biggest problem with sasquatch (besides all that no reentry bullshit) is that the stages are set up as a hierarchy of bands. The larger acts play the main, the new buzz bands/indie acts play the wookie and the smaller bands play the Yeti. The schedules are then designed to rank the bands in the order that sasquatch views their popularity. This bugs me for two reasons, one you inevitably get a bunch of conflicts at the end of the day which we are seeing here, but even more than that it turns the event into more of a "concert" than a "festival." What I mean by this is at other festivals i've attended a lot of the fun comes in wondering from stage to stage and catching some good mid days acts before going back to the campground and resting up for the headliners. It would be cool if sasquatch put some of the bigger wookie acts on during the early part of the day, then faded into some weaker ones then maybe closed out with a big one. Same thing with the Yeti. I also think some smaller bands on the main in exchange for some larger bands on the Wookie would add to the festival feel of catching different acts in different stages (giving the feel of a different venue).....well thats my rant....take to for what its worth.
oh and for the record I'm most concerned about the dr.dog/camera obscura vs. Band of Horses/MGMT situation

I generally try to base my decision on who I've seen before and which of the two conflicting bands I'll have a better chance of seeing later down the road. I will definately skip Vampire Weekend to see Public Enemy since the chances of seeing Vampire Weekend later are better. But dammit I love The Hold Steady and The National...seen both before but not sure which to see this time!

Who the hell is Vince Mira? Who were the Heartless Bastards? I was the only person (this is a fact) who came out early to see The Gaslight Anthem last year.
On the other hand, maybe you've heard of Bon Iver? Or Mos Def? Or this dude who calls himself Girl Talk?
Did anyone but me care about 65daysofstatic in 08? Who the hell is "Awesome"? Does Dyme Def have name recognition outside of the northwest?
On the other hand, you ever hear of Ghostland Observatory? I know I have. Maybe the Breeders? There was also this guy from another band that broke up a bunch of years ago, his name's Stephen Malkmus.
Do the Saturday Knights get name recognition outside of the northwest? What the hell is Total Experience Gospel Choir?
But I HAVE heard of the Beastie Boys and Grizzly Bear.
In conclusion, your "the main stage gets bigger bands than the Wookie stage" critique is just flatly wrong.
And if you came to the festival because you are attracted to the bands who play in the last four hours, and you can't find yourself enjoying anyone who plays between noon and seven, then you suck.

The real "rank by popularity" is the t-shirt/poster/anything else that lists all the bands in one large mass.

How about the cost of band t-shirts as another popularity factor? NIN, JA and KOL all had expensive stuff vs. Fleet Foxes, Of Montreal and John Vanderslice. Although there is a wildcard in Street Sweeper Social Club, their shirts were $35...they played at 1 or 2 on the main stage.
This is meant to be humourous.

I don't know I8...his points have merit...
Look at this thread in particular. Have you noticed anybody with conflicts before 4pm? I have seen 1 so far, Patrick Watson vs. Laura Marling.
Admit it, more popular bands often play later in the day.

I'm not doubting that. Here are the two contentions I take issue with:
1.) Band popularity is ranked by stage.
2.) There aren't good bands playing throughout the day.
My problems with these:
1.) Band popularity is better measured by when they play. Plenty of no-name bands play early in the day on the main stage; plenty of larger bands play in the evening on the Wookie stage.
2.) There are plenty of awesome things to discover throughout the course of the day. I saw Mad Rad for the first time at Sasquatch; they started at noon; it was a ridiculously entertaining show.

So you were the only person that watched The Gaslight Anthem last year? Could have sworn I saw them....but you know best.
Please quit posting lies! If I'm not reading about how you think Ween sucks or how much better the Pixies or Modest Mouse would be in that spot then I'm reading about how you practically discovered some bands last year and they actually gave you your own personal show......."I swear, I was the only one there"....
Please shut your trap already you idiot!
