A bunch of little buttlickers, they are! No one would help me Dr. Garbanzoure out a stereo setup, because they are scared I will keep them up at night. Please tell me I'm not alone in thinking that complaining about noise in the campground is comparable to complaining about how butt ugly the gorge is. It's just stupid! I know four years isn't a lot of attendance compared to what some of you folks have wracked up, but seriously. I don't believe that having a loud stereo is going to be a hindrance to anyone's experience, and I want to play a lot of really good music that you might not otherwise hear at the campground at night. Some music to stumble by while you're really drunk(or whatever else), searching for your tent. Music that will make you feel like you're perhaps on another planet, searching and searching for that evasive campsite. Please, for the love of god, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. It's only a 2x100watt set up with some big speakers, and you can kill me if it's a bad idea to bring it. That being said, I am looking for the best way to power it. Whether it be via a deep cycle rv battery into my car via AC power inverter, a generator, or other means. What do you recommend? Also, what are some of your setups that aren't just car stereos? I'm very curious!

You could rent a generator.
Personally though I would just bring a battery powered speaker loud enough for me and my campsite to enjoy, we will have been listening to music powered through huge amplification systems literally all day.

Plus, having that short of sound system is a guaranteed way to invoke the ire of the yellow shirts. On the other hand, if they are focused on you and your giant sound machine, they will be less likely to notice the copious amount of corn chips being consumed at my camp site. Rent a generator and knock yourself (and your camp neighbors) out.

That's all I needed to hear. Quite refreshing that the first thing said isn't, "no one wants to hear your shitty music, you're an asshole."
Though I would argue that the music I'd play would be more enjoyable than most other's pooping in the campground. My radio show is completely focused on extremely accessible alternative that is easy to enjoy for anyone, and folks seem to like it.
Or I could just play really fast tempo jazz until 4am. Every night. I'm sure everyone could dig that!

As a noob to the entire camping experience at a festival, I expect some level of commotion throughout the night. But I also expect that there will be some allowance made for older festival goers who need at least a few hours of sleep at night, regardless of how many corn chips have been eaten. If I have neighbors who over share their music into the wee hours, I am afraid bad mutt will come out and say something un-neighborly, especially if it takes more than a dozen requests to turn that shit down. And shit is all encompassing - I don't care if you have angel music direct from heaven blasting at 4am, it will make mutt mad to not be able to sleep a little bit.

Well I'm usually asleep by 1, and if corn chips keep me up, I walk aaaaa loooooot, so I'll make sure you are all able to get your beauty sleep. I will be reasonable, but if anyone wants to come dance at my campsite for a bit, you are more than welcome!

Asleep by 1?? I'm not even back at camp by then; I'm pretty sure there's still music going on at that time.
Since it seems like you'll be pooping these easily accessible alternative chunes while I'm still in the venue, I'm fine with you spending your money on renting a generator. And I'll try not to be too loud when I come crashing back through the campground after 1, but I can't make promises for everyone else.

www.reddit.com/r/Sasquatch/comments/1ywv5n/what_are_your_campground_stereo_set_ups/Here is the thread for full disclosure, only one person used the word asshole and it was in a vague "A normal damn stereo of any variety, because I"m not an asshole who wants to enforce my music choices on everyone in the area.". I am with the people here and on reddit, don't come to sasquatch to showcase your "dj skills" make money off of "special tea" or any other self promotional bs that you can think of that will just end up annoying fellow festival goers and agitate the yellow shirts. In the last few years there have been real permitted dj's that have done shows in the central area of the campground that have been pretty good, and are isolated to an area where it isn't in the face of other campers. If you want to dance your face off, by all means partake in the dance party that gathers, but don't try to host your own festival in the campgrounds. You will get asked by yellow shirts and blue shirts to shut it down no matter the hour.

"OH HEY GUYS I HAVE A RADIO SHOW DON'T YOU LIKE MY FUCKING MUSIC OH FUCKING OH FUCKING GUYS I TOTALLY AM PLAYING THE SASQUATCH (campground against other people's will) AM I FUCKING COOL OR WHAT? PLEASE VALIDATE MY FUCKING NARCISSISM" Holy shit I hope a frat bro shits on your turntable.

Wow, that reddit thread was not nearly as hostile as I expected it to be. It makes it rather clear who the "/I hate that / little buttlicker" really is.

PS if you think I'm joking, I'm not. It's perfectly acceptable to have small boom boxes or speakers playing music but if you insist on imposing your fucking tastes on others I will gladly fuck with your shit all of sasquatch if you're nearby and nothing of value will be lost.

I just dealt with some fucks at Com Truise who pushed their way next to me and ended up talking loudly and taking dual selfies after pushing forward. I basically had to push them away and then tell them to shut up so I could enjoy a music show. I don't pay 500 something dollars to go to Sasqautch, party my ass off, and get interrupted by DJ Inconsiderate-Fuckstain playing his uptempo jazz mix of Imagine Dragons Radioactive with a fucking loudspeaker who is desperately trying to get attention in the most obnoxious way possible.

lol the guy who said that on Reddit posts here as well. Did he change his name or does he just not post much anymore? I don't remember seeing the name in a while. Also, I didn't know there was a Sasquatch Reddit. I feel like I should get involved with that, but I have trouble following what the hell is going on half the time on Reddit.
