I went with the $11 Buds. The extra $3 was worth the colder beer and the ability to not have to carry around that little cup which ended up getting hammered down in about two sips.
Was Pea in a sounders stocking cap on Monday night heading away from the Spiritualized set before it even began? If so, I guess I saw you too.

Speaking of "it's a wrap" and Sasquatch being over, I'm having the strong blast of "reality of real life"...with that weird face eating incident, someone committing suicide at UW and a shooting near when I lived in Seattle. :S

Anyone who missed St Vincent missed an amazing performance...and don't forget that Carrie was in Sleater Kinney...Wild Flag's set restored my faith after Portlandia...

Agreed.
Sorry Portlandia, I saw 7 of the 9 comedy acts this year, and Portlandia was my least favorite. I almost think the awkward not-funniness of it was part of their ironic point, but I sure couldn't tell.

I’m a lurker but a 5-time attendee who’s still thinking about his best Sasquatch experience yet.
I never partied past 3am in any of my 4 previous experiences. I saw the sun come up twice this weekend. I befriended a 20-year old lesbian (I’m 33) and became her hetero Canadian powerdyke life partner. I hugged a guy at Little Dragon who shortly thereafter dropped trou and repeated a scream of “Fuck! Pants!”, which became my mantra Sunday night>Monday morning. I watched too many amazing performances to keep count of. I am not a dancer; I danced more this weekend than I have in my life combined (I’m 33). I did beer bong shots out of a plastic flamingo. I saw The Fucking Roots.
I may or may not have spoke to you, partied with you, run into any of you this weekend, but as part of my collective Sasquatch experience, I feel compelled to tell everyone on this board, lurkers and regular posters alike: thank you!

So happy you all had fun. It has made the decision easy to book off work for next year.

Cuddle-Puddle! Sasquatch this year was pure magic. I was thinking of going to Coachella next year instead but there is no way I can see myself doing that now.

The only bad thing about that is they wouldnt put them in a 24oz cup. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I do not want to carry around 2 cups of beer, far too much spillage.
Speaking of cups, I youtubed Drinking Out Of Cups Saturday morning and played it as loud as my cooler would go to wake people up. Damn near pissed my self.
*Posted out of order again. My brain is still in a puddle somewhere in my head. Response was to the 4 dollar 12oz rolling rocks.

I know about half a dozen people that said they weren't going to attend Sasquatch next year. ALL of them have changed their mind. Were they pumping molly vapor into our tents or something?? I've never seen such an overwhelmingly positive response from people afterward.

I also have to add on behalf of my friend who celebrated her birthday at Sasquatch this year (we were wearing purple party hats on Thurs & Sat), you gave her one hell of a 34th birthday. But don't tell her I told you her age.

I did both Coachella and Sasquatch this year. Total apples & oranges in regards to personal experience makes it hard to compare, but I have no problem declaring Sasquatch>>>>>Coachella. I already bought a pass for next year Coachella but will probably only do one festival. Highly likely that pass is getting sold to give me Sasquatch money.

I think if I decided to do sasq again next year I'd want it to be a slightly different experience... given I was sick all weekend so maybe thats all it was, but my group was loser-drunk-hardcore-partying most of the time (which, Ill admit, I was a part of and found hilarious at various points), but then you would walk by other campgrounds where they are working together to make breakfast and they wouldn't be sitting around a mound of garbage. Being sick + the hot days made it hard for me to want to head into the grounds early too, so I missed a ton of bands I would have liked to check out. Next year I'm taking antibiotics for the week before sasq.

Yea...I hate to say it but I've been sort of thinking the same thing. We'll see how the lineup, my vacation time, and my money situation look in about 8 months.

This weekend has made me re-evaluate some things....I'll make it work. Samesies. I already bought my Coachella ticket and I really, really want to do Glastonbury so I've just been assuming Sasquatch is out of the question. 100% doing Sasquatch if I can't get a Glasto ticket and if I do manage to get one, I'm gonna see what kind of magic I can work to either do all three or maybe Coachella will be sold off...

The only thing Coachella has going for it is giant LED lights and expensive headliners. I don't know why I got caught up in the hype. The attendees are pure fucking garbage compared to the goofballs at Sasquatch. We know how to fucking PARTY up here.

This was my plan as well. I thought it was just going to be Glasto and Coachella next year. I just mapped out my vacation days for the next two years...and I can make all three work next year, I just need to save up some money.

I have to say...if I were to choose one song to describe my feelings about Sasquatch this year, it would have to be Beirut playing Scenic World during the sunset
