I can't really come to terms with this, and won't for a while. I've been going with my father for the past 6 years. It's been something that brought us closer to each other and as the festival found me in the peak of my "soul-searching" phase, it became a part of me. I'm not sure how to time my year without the phases of Sasquatch excitement. I feel kind of silly being this distraught over a music festival, but I am truly heartbroken. An irreplaceable experience. I feel like it’s impossible to feel silly about being heartbroken about this. This festival has shaped my being for over a decade. That’s real shit. I’ve met some of my best friends because of this board. That’s real shit. Sasquatch may be dad but our family survives. Life finds a way. I hope y’all won’t abandon this forum so hastily. I think we can do great things together. As a wise Professor said on my fb today, this is not the end of our journey. Just an end to this chapter. We are all still massive music nerds and festivalgoers - who says we have to sacrifice this community? If we die out, LiveNation wins. I’m not about to let that happen.

I woke up this morning feeling like the world was a little less magical than it was yesterday. Then I remembered the first law of physics: Magic can neither be created nor destroyed, it only changes forms. Like I said to Nick: This isn't the end of our story, just this chapter.
Sasquatch magic was inside you all along.

Sasquatch was one of the most important things in my life for the past six years. I've thought about Sasquatch every day since my first in 2013. When I first crested the hill to the main stage and beheld the majesty of it all, I cried, and my life was changed. Every year for three or four days, I was immersed in music and joy, surrounded by people I love. While I cried last night, and I'm probably not done crying, I'm forever grateful that I got to be a part of this wonderful thing for six years. Thank you Sasquatch!

Damn ya'll. It's been a few years since I've been back but Sasquatch, this board and all the folks I met through here will always hold a special place in my heart.
It's been a trip.

As of a week ago the core members of my Sasquatch group moved in with me. Last night we bought a few Palm Breeze six packs, these god-awful alcoholic juice drinks that we would get every year for the festival as some lost inside joke from years past. Breezies were downed on the porch as the rain rolled in and we reminisced for a good few hours. We wept, laughed, and everything in between.
I've had a hard time explaining why I'm so bent out of shape over this news to the bulk of people. "My favorite music fest is over" doesn't really convey the full weight. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but this annual break from reality has truly been the conduit for so many friendships, memories, and life events that I can barely comprehend it all. My first year I was a bright-eyed and still in high school, having been to two concerts in my life before this. Right now I have a few months left in my degree and after will probably enter the nine to five work life. I feel like I'm going to look back at this chapter of my life as the era of self-discovery and all that hippie nonsense. I really wouldn't be the person I am today without Sasquatch.
tldr; Thanks for the memories. I love this festival and all you weirdos on the forum. I hope to see you all at another fest or the inevitable Jeff Goldblum Gorge Amphitheater show.

Haha I told my mom about it last night and she replied, "Oh well. It's been on life support long enough. Time to pull the plug, I guess."
Fuck you, ma!

My Mom said “isn’t that why you went this year?”... and then when I explained that was just a feeling and now it’s confirmed her reply is “oh”. Always the empath, my Mom...

Took me till today to visit here. I was on a work trip when I saw a link and just ... couldn’t. I was in the same boat as many, I knew. That lineup was just too different from direction of the last few years. So I danced as hard as I ever have to the national. I passed out in the empty field beside premium after playing beersbe till 4am and cheersing nine thousand times with the better half. She knew I needed to sleep there for a bit.
