Some douchebag from Washington told us to take the I-5 all the way to Sasquatch, and then when we got separated from our friends with the GPS we thought "oh okay that guy said this will work so lets do this" Yeah. WE DROVE ALL THE WAY TO TACOMA! And I accidentally stole maps from a convenient store because I legit thought they were free (they were $8 each. I stole two.) Fuck it though, got us to the Safeway in Ellensburg where we met up with the rest of our festival gang. To be fair, we use this trick to defend our homeland against the all too trusting annual Canadian Invasion. Someday you guys might want to try and take Washington back. Understandable then! I guess I'd be a tad nervous about us too.

A friend was really drunk before Beirut started, and we were trying to get into the inner pit. Well he decided to "look for his mom up front" and started yelling "MY MOM SHE'S UP THERE SHE'S SCARED I NEED TO GET HER MY MOM MY MOM I NEED TO GO UP FRONT MY MOM!" When nobody would let him past, he started playing rock paper scissors with everyone to trade spots with them! We finally got into the inner pit and there he goes again with the "mom" thing. This time people are just lettin' him go because he's so drunk. As he got closer to the front, every 5 feet we would see a group of heads turn, and what looked like another rock paper scissors game, and on he would go. Eventually someone pointed him out to security and he got lifted out. Buuuut not before he played rock paper scissors with security first, and lost. I didn't see him at the festival after that happened Your friend sounds like an asshole.

Howard Kremer AKA Dragonboy Suede AKA host of podcast Who Charted? AKA one of the comedians at Sasquatch '2012 spends a good half hour detailing his experience at Sasquatch. One of my favorite parts when he makes a Molly joke and no one knows what the fuck what he's talking about. www.earwolf.com/episode/two-charted-17/Sasquatch stories start around 22:45 and go through the end of the episode.

My sasquatch started out with an awesome grocery shopping experience. I had most of the group I was going to go to Sasquatch with bail the week or two before this year, and ended up going with just one other friend. We were a little bummed out that our group was missing and it was going to be just the two of us. We stopped for groceries and in the fruit department I randomly ran into Davers and Kymess and their whole group, who I had met at Live at Squamish last year. They let us join up with them and camp with them for the weekend and they turned out to be the most fun and awesome group of people I could have asked to be there with. I called it a Sasquatch miracle the rest of the weekend.

^^^ This is why Canadians are awesome. So kind and generous compared to Americans.

For the record let it be known that I (American) gave a premier camping pass, yes GAVE, to some Canadians.

Yeah. I am American and if I saw them I would have told them to fuck right off. Americans! What assholes!
Cee-Cee, that is the wonder of Sasquatch magic! That is a great story!

Haha, our American group befriended a Canadian lone ranger this year. He said to us "man I am surprised I met some generous Americans". He was just giving us some shit I suppose but funny still

^^^ This is why Canadians are awesome. So kind and generous compared to Americans. Nevermind the two Sasquatch virgins that came all the way from Cali last year that I took into our camping group, both of which have become two of my closest friends and likely will be for life. Are you fucking serious dude?

Generalizations are just that but there always some truth to them. I just think many Canadians expect the Americans at Sasquatch to be assholes only to discover just how awesome PNWers are.

It is true that in general people from the PNW are much more amiable.

We were camped next to nevadiehs and minnesotans and they were the nicest people. I think people who go to festivals are just a pretty rad bunch.

Are you fucking serious dude? I was just saying, in my life experiences the average Canadian is much more kind and generous than the average American. I didn't mean to offend anyone with that remark.
