I don't see why anyone would give a fuck if this guy wants to watch his soccer game. Personally, to me it makes no more sense than watching comedy at a music fest but to each their own. I didn't pay for his ticket and I'm guessing neither did any of you so why would you give a fuck about how this guy wants to spend his time there??

Yeah, I don't get why anybody would have anything negative to say. This guy is talking about a game before noon, and the festival doesn't start until 1:00. I bet most people don't even get in the gate until after 3:00. This is coming from a guy that finds it extremely boring to watch other people play sports, especially on a tv screen.

So following a sporting event, even if it's a team you've followed all your life, doesn't make sense at Sasquatch, only because you don't like sports? I never said I don't like sports. I don't like watching most sports other than Rugby, Hockey, and the Seahawks. A comparable relation for me would be politics, international affairs, congressional votes, etc. I straight up try to leave it behind at the entrance to Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, etc. An example of this would be in 2012. One of my friends and someone I mentored while a cadet in ROTC, his Kiowa Scout help was shot down and killed in Afghanistan the day before Bonnaroo. I had to leave it at the campground. I didn't want to take the bad vibes with me. I knew his wife, his children, his family, I had worked with him for nearly 4 years. There's just some things you shouldn't take with you when you enter the cave. To me, everything that is not happening right where you are at that moment of time at Sasquatch,Bonnaroo, Coachella, etc., is completely and utterly meaningless and has no power or influence over your life at the moment. Now imagine watching that team you followed your entire life get crushed that very morning, night, etc. Why would you want that possibility to ruin your fun time when you could be lounging back, staring up at a beautiful morning sky at a beautiful venue, and munching on the biggest corn chip you ever damn saw. That's my two cents on that. I think it's a decent way to live given the short amount of time we have to live.

Please continue comparing the worst shit you've ever experienced in your life to wanting to watch a game.

Well let me get this topic back on track...
Did they have the view bar back in 2011? I never remember seeing it. Is it a place where I can drink a $9 Heineken and stare at the Columbia while listening to (insert main stage artist)?

Is it a place where I can drink a $9 Heineken and stare at the Columbia while listening to (insert main stage artist)? I thought he was talking about the Cliff House, but the map shows then as two different things. Even so, I'm assuming you will need sine kind of VIP upgrade to get in. It looks pretty small and I don't imagine they'll let just let any peasant from District 9 in.

I'm pretty sure the view bar (was it always called that?) is open to everyone, but everyone assumes it's a VIP thing so no one goes in there. That being said, I've never been there, so this is all hearsay.

Everyone is allowed in the bar, but the VIP's have a second deck where they can sit on lounge chairs and admire the view. The peasants are fenced off a bit, but the view is still incredible. I went and chilled there for a bit last year.

HG did you win VIP tickets last year? I can't for god sakes imagine you purchasing that shit. I had friends in 2012 with Artist wrist bands and I hung out with them in the back. Is this the same place? there was a ton of free shit in this big open white tent. Cash bar, coffee stand, food, a fucking ice cream truck. The artists and the alike roamed around back here under the heated lamps and schmooed on nice seats.
If that is VIP, then it's quite fantastic. I'm not sure it's $800 dollar fantastic, but nice pampering if you want it.

I heard they have AC in the cliff house. In the summer when it is 100 degree this would be pretty great.

And it was for the Cliff House, which is a bar to the left of the main stage. You can't actually see the stage from there, but it does have an amazing view of the gorge. I was surprised that there was not a feed of what was on the stage but there were a few TVs with sports games on. It was really nice to have as an option when it was raining so hard and Imagine Dragons (E) were playing and I don't care about them. Also I used their flushable toilets and that was quite a novelty.

Stage left, or Crowd left? The area I was in had a little fence right on the edge of the ravine/gorge. They had a bunch of pictures of acts that played there before that all took their picture in that spot. For whatever reason I particularly remember Michael Stipe from REM up there... but maybe that's because his bald ass is so recognizable. Did you have an Ice cream truck? This was where the service road goes down to where the equipment trucks are for the main stage, and how all the gear gets transported around. You can walk back and forth on the road from main, to yeti, to bigfoot to their side stages once you get past another round of security.(The shit's secure, I had to go through like 5 Yellow shirts to get to Bigfoot. If this at all sounds like what you can do, go with VIP I would totally pay for that shit. Okay once, do it at least once.

That's definitely a different spot than the cliff house. Cliff House is that fancy little trail to the left of the stage (facing the gorge) in between the food/beer and the honey buckets.

They had a tent with a free keg and one dude playing Rock Band by himself. I forgot my ID, so no keg for me, but I did get to watch Grizzly Bear load their gear into a truck and let me tell you guys, nobody and I mean nobody loads gear like Grizzly Bear.
