Sasquatch 2012 >>>>>>> Coachella 2012 Best festival experience of my life. This is me reminding myself to add to this later. In short, fuck you Coachella. Coachella 2011 blew Sasquatch 2011 out of the water, but I'm in complete agreement here. Sasquatch 2012 was different, and better than Coachella 2012 in nearly every way.

Exactly. Coachella 2011 was the most perfect first impression, and 2012 didn't follow it up nearly as well. I'm getting a kick out of some of the people on the Coachella boards trashing Sasquatch. I'm starting to get a bad taste in my mouth for that festival and it's attendees.

Sasquatch 2012 was different, and better than Coachella 2012 in nearly every way. I think Live Nation stepped it up in a big way. It was relatively organized, the sound and lights were good everywhere, everything was on time, security weren't douches (except once that I saw), and everything seemed completely better in every way. Except the Maine Stage, which was useless and served only to piss off all the comedians. I watched three comedians and they all complained about the noise from the Maine Stage. I say scrap it.

I felt like the Sasquatch gods were testing me with this redic cold. It didn't get bad until the sleep deprivation kicked in, plus the pound of dust in my lungs. I have no idea how I made it through alive. Not having a voice sucked serious nuts. But I made it. So F U sasq gods. I have a pretty gnarly cold as well that started sometime on Saturday... my nose was running most of Sunday and Monday and I sneezed probably 50 times a day. I'm thinking it was allergies. That and my eyes were burning and watering for part of the weekend again like they have all five years I've been in attendance. Maybe if I'm able to make it a sixth year straight in 2013 I'll actually remember to pack eye drops.

Agreed about the sound and lights, I think they did some serious upgrades. I went there hoping for lots of $4 beers but saw only one concession stand that actually offered them at that price. The rest of the alcohol options were obscenely overpriced as usual. It seems the food options were expanded, however the food was priced ridiculously as well. The only times I bought food inside the venue were to get an elephant ear (which are just awesome and worth the $6) and when I forgot to pack food for the day on Monday.

The Maine stage was a huge pissoff. I was near the front at Bigfoot for Cloud Cult and the bass from the rap happening over there was still infiltrating everything. Also it made for a very annoying overlap at the shade tent.

Where were the $4 beers and how big were they? I managed to sneak in all my booze 2 out of 3 days, so I didn't really mind buying booze one of the days. And I have now gone two years without purchasing any food there.

I think they were 12 ounces, and at some point they actually sold out of the $4 beers and were only offering ones for triple the price. My friend bought a $14 (or was it $16?) margarita for the hell of it and I just cringed.

And I have now gone two years without purchasing any food there. If I remember correctly it was at a stand between Yeti and Bigfoot. My friends fell for the trap where they do an extremely light search through your bags on Friday and then ramp it up the rest of the weekend. They tried to sneak in 3 water bottles filled with vodka that were wrapped in a blanket and the security goon made them shake out their blanket and clothes to see if anything was hidden.

I'm still not convinced that there's any alcohol in those retarded margaritas.

I love that you could buy two 12-ounce beers for $8 or one 24-ounce beer for $11. MAKES SENSE.
