There's no place that I can find to post this in, and I don't want to start a new thread, but I've got a story to tell. Back in 2011 my girlfriend and I brought some blankets in during the day. We didn't care about them all too much and ended up stashing them somewhere at night and planned on grabbing them on our way out. We went to grab them, and they were both gone. Mildly upset, we walked back to camp and went on with our business. The next day, in the early afternoon, the unbelievable happened. A group of people walking down our row were spotted from afar by my girlfriend, who immediately asked "is that your blanket?". Sure enough, my very distinguishable old red blanket that I've had since my childhood was being carried by a stranger RIGHT PAST OUR CAMP. We asked if they'd found it the previous day (they had) and they were very happy to return it to me, they'd only grabbed it because they were very cold and needed warmth. It is by far the most statistically unlikely thing that's ever happened to me. This is why Sasquatch is the magical beautiful place that it is. Proof that Sasquatch is indeed magical and the vast majority of people that attend it are some of the nicest people on planet earth. You'd really think that with around 30,000 people being there you wouldn't necessarily see the same strangers twice (or in your case see your blanket that a group of people out of those 30,000 had). My faith in humanity is partially restored annually on the last weekend of May.

My faith in humanity is partially restored annually on the last weekend of May. People are indeed really fucking nice out there. One thing that's always stood out to me: in my 5 years of going, not once have I seen a fistfight. With tens of thousands of people camping together and often drinking nonstop, you would think that it happens here and there (and, sure, perhaps it does and I simply haven't caught it). But I guess my point is this - I've seen it at other festivals, just not at Sasquatch.

But I guess my point is this - I've seen it at other festivals, just not at Sasquatch. Now that I think of it, neither have I. I'm pretty sure almost everyone there is so focused on having a blast listening to their favorite bands that they don't give a shit about fighting for that weekend. There's certainly no lack of alcohol on the premises.

You should see the rules on conduct for the Stagecoach festival. They literally have to tell people not to fight and fuck in public.

While I haven't seen any Dr. Garbanzohting, I have twice seen incidents of public fucking at Samsquantch. One was the infamous copulation that took place during the Decemberists in 2009, which I'm sure most of you are aware of. But the other was the year before, mid-day near the Bigfoot stage - I saw a bit of commotion, investigated, and lo and behold, some girl was just blowing a guy in public. People were taking pictures and filming it on their phones and whatnot, it was pretty nuts. Then some other girl walked up to the two and, as it appeared, informed them that what they were doing was by no means going unnoticed. And then, the craziest part: the girl who was blowing the guy stands up, has this completely embarrassed look on her face, and the two instantly walk away from each other IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. It definitely looked as though they had met five minutes prior to the spontaneous oral sex adventure.

"The boning comes in waves" moment was one of the most unforgettable things that's ever happened at Sasquatch. Dude was straight plowing his lady porno style on the cliff as thousands of people including the band watched. I thought it was pretty great how Colin Meloy mentioned it before they played that song again in 2011.

Glad he got to joke about it later, because he was fucking pissed when everyone was watching the sex instead of his band.

Last year we lucked out and were camped near some people with a huge Jager flag - that definitely helped so this year we made our own. If you see a tie-dyed flag fashioned out of a cut-up pillow case that is advertising the presence of not one, but two s.assy betches, you should probably come say hello.

These are our flags from coachella, we'll be flying the same ones at Sasquatch and will probably be posted up somewhere near the general store. Come say hi and shotgun a cold one !
