If there is a real twister or windstorm I vote on releasing a barrel of glitter into it. Then all the sweaty topless bros will look like twilight vampires. why don't you just go around antiquing people so that this can happen anyway?

Dudes, being scared of 10% chance of precipitation is for babies. You aren't babies, are you, because babies HATE SASQUATCH. ...and Animal Collective.

"Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at sasquatch... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'"

Unless you're a Leno fan I guess.

Oh my gosh...Love how things warp through translation:-) I do live in the gorge, right on the river and our weather is pretty close to what is going on in George so I do have a bit of insight on that. Love the gushing...it is wonderful! I don't have THAT many posts on Coachella board but I did adopt quite a good number of campers without any place to camp (Coachella sells 8800 camping spots and 75,000 tickets which = lots of people with no where to stay). I bought as many camping passes as I could scrounge and we adopted as many people as we could, and joined up with solo folks with camping to make a big group with a big area. We had a group of 56 people in 26 cars and all of us even stayed at the same motel in Indio the night before just so we could all arrive together as per the Coachella rules. But security at Coachella would not let us park together...seriously, would not let us. I almost got thrown out of the event because I was not going to take no for an answer but my daughter got me to settle down and do what the jerks told us to. Out of 26 cars we got 6 together, then about 3 together about 25 cars down the row, another 2 together a couple of rows over....etc. I don't think I have ever been so disappointed and one of my daughters wasn't even able to park anywhere near us:-(( I planned it for a few months, spent countless hours planning and spent probably at least $4000-5000 myself. I hooked everyone up with rides from all over the country and Canada, brought extra gear for everyone that was flying in and food for the whole group for breakfasts for 4 days, and we could not even camp with all our friends!!!!! It was really such a bummer. Our group alone paid over $20,000 for our tickets and camping passes! We paid $140 per day to buy their ice for our coolers and they acted as though we were trying to get something over them by trying to camp together!! At the security check going in to the event they made us pour out our 55 gallons of water, (they said we might want to try to sell it in the camping area!!!) almost would not let us bring in the bicycles or the 2 propane tanks for the grills even though their rules say we can bring those things. Security confiscated a few of our groups alcohol after they when through security, they were just walking by them. I made a canopy that was 60 feet across out of a parachute and we could not use it because we only had 6 spots together. We had no water for our misters that I put together or our massive slip and slide and it was 100 degrees out. Worse of all we had 12 Aussies in our group and those bastards really know how to party:-)) I did not get to spend any time at all with them because they were rows and rows away and I was busy cooking for all 56 people every morning and 1/2 of them at night. And yes...I did loan my sweet old beach cruiser to a dude that was limping with a cane who promised he would bring it right back but was never seen again:-( Can you tell it did not go as I had planned?? So sorry for the rant....I am done now.
But...the on the good side of the equation was the absolutely fantastic music that was Coachella, Black Keys, Foals, The Strokes, Electric Touch, Empire of the Sun and the list goes on and one! And the BEST part of Coachella were the wonderful people we met and partied with and I am sure that will be the same at Sasquatch!
If anyone needs a weather report just ask:-) If you need a tent or camping equipment let me know and I may be able to loan it to you. If you want to share some great fresh fruit pancakes any morning of the fest just look us up. I am pretty sure I will be the only 55 year old woman with a silver white mohawk and I even have a fiber optic one for the night:-)
