Post your stories from Sasquatch 2012. They can be long, they can be confusing and they can hilarious.
I was going to derail a post by FD but I figured I would just make a new thread.

I will be writing a chronicle of my journeys once I get my pc set up at Lucys house.

Did anyone witness the guys wearing the shirts mocking the Alcohol enforcement guys on Sunday? I was sitting on the hill and saw them walk by. They were shortly confronted by a bunch of the live nation people. I guess they told them to take the shirts off which two of them did. Then the last guy took off his shirt and he had whatever was on his shirt written in marker on his back. Everyone busted up laughing and they just kinda let them go.

I knew it was going to be a great Sasquatch right from the start when I was able to get a gigantic parking space by legitimately submitting the yellow shirt dealing with into explaining to his manager that was coming over to see what the fuss was about, "It's okay, this guy doesn't know how to drive his car".
Win.

Good deeds will pay for themselves is the whole idea. This reminded me of a good Sasquatch magic story. So after The Roots we all go back to camp. We were going to get food but the lines were huge and we were too lazy to cook. Chips suffice. There is a dubstep party 2 rows over from us. We get the idea to crack a tube of glowsticks and have a mini glowpocalypse. We wander over stand at the outside crack them all, wait for a drop and give them a throw into the middle of the party of about 150 people. Everyone cheers and starts getting crazier. Sure enough the next big drop about 75 glowsticks fly in the air. No one saw us do this and we said the good deed was it's own reward and karma and blah blah. We then go to visit our friends the Kelly's. We go by Kelli's site and everyone is sleeping. We go by Kelley's site and everyone is sleeping, but their neighbour is poking his head out of the tent having a smoke. Us: "Hey do you know if Kelley and them are around?" Him: "They went to bed about an hour ago" Us: "Oh, OK, well, have a good night." Him: "You guys want some chicken?" Us: "What?" Him: "We made all this chicken about 45 minutes ago, we made too much, it's in that foil packet there." Us: "You sure man? Because that sounds awesome" Him: "Totally sure, what are we going to do with 5 pieces of cold chicken in the morning?" So we eat it, and it is amazing. We hang out with him for an hour or so and head back for bed. We decide this is our good karma for the glowpocalypse. The next day we see him again with his friends and they are handing out beers to beer bong and just generally being awesome people. We bring them some jungle juice. On the Monday they are out of beers and we have about 60 left, so we give them 30 and are thrilled. Everyone wins!

Their shirts said "Beverage Encouragment".

I was sitting on the small hill to the right of the Yeti stage watching John (C.) Reilly when I saw fairowen standing in front of me with a few people. One man in particular looked very out of place, despite having all of the trademark looks of a festival attendee. I noticed a laminated lanyard around his neck and began getting my suspicions. After a few minutes, he took a picture with him and walked away...waving at me as he passed by. After he left I leaned over to my friend and said, "Dude, I think that's fucking Adam Zacks right there. The creator of Sasquatch!" She freaked out and said, "Really?? I'm going to go ask him!" and ran off before I could say anything. I really had no solid reason to suspect it was him. More of a hunch than anything, so I figured she would come back all red-faced. Sure as shit though, she stood there with a giant smile on her face for a couple of minutes and then posed for a picture. It was totally him! She said he was very nice and appreciative, and even asked her what she liked and didn't like about the festival, and that he was happy to have her back year after year. I of course chickened out, but did manage to get a sweet picture of his back haha.

Dude that is so fucking cool! Definitely beats Tycho partying with us at our camp until 6am of the day they played and Lucy hanging out with Apparat.

My friend lost a bet (shotgunning a beer) and ended up putting a cigarette out on his nipple.

Aww. Maritza looks so happy.
Anyway, who was the one with the conspiracy theory "Fairowen is Adam Zacks?"

Haha, we were saying that. I wanted to meet Snack's so bad because I had some OPINIONS about this year's infrastructure.

You know Maritza. That girl is so positive and upbeat she had nothing but praises to sing to Zacks. If I had been better composed I would have definitely had a couple things to say. Overall I was very impressed with everything he did for the festival this year, though.

I can't believe I didn't tell you guys this story (I think Ro is the only person I've told). It is the epitome of the stupidity of some people that work at the Gorge.
So this guy comes over to one of the alcohol wristband people and pulls out his New Mexico ID. The employee looks at it and goes "Sorry but it has to be a US ID". And the guy goes "It is a US ID..." and the employee responds "Well how about a passport?". Right around this time another Gorge employee walks by and he asks her whether New Mexico is a part of the US and she responds "Yes, are you stupid?" to which the employee responds with "I'm sorry I don't study the atlas all day".
I was lol-ing.

Some of the workers there were pretty messed up. I went to get food and opt for the chicken strips, fries and a coke (to mix rum with). The girl looks very carefully at the list, triple checks, and finally says "Ok... $13" I give her a $20, she literally counts it out on her hands and eventually gives me the $7 change. My friend behind me orders the exact same thing. She gets insanely flustered, triple checks the price again, gets her co-worker to check and make sure. My friend just sticks out $13 exactly. She takes it nervously. "What did you want again?" He repeats his order. She checks the price, AGAIN. He just says "It's $13, we're good".
I seriously think he could have convinced her to give him change. She was higher than 95% of the people actually attending the festival.

That's not the only story I've heard about concession workers not being able to make change in simple amounts. It's possible they were high, but it's equally possible that they are just incredibly fucking stupid.

You should have seen the look on the girl's face when my friend asked for nacho cheese to go with her pretzel. Her reply was something along the lines of, "Our nacho cheese is actually only for the nachos and there's literally no way I can physically give you cheese with your pretzel." My friend asked for a supervisor, who came over, rolled his eyes at the employee, squirted some nacho cheese onto the pretzel wrapper, apologized, and walked away. Fucking hilarious.
