This was my first Sasquatch
Friday: Arrived late at night to be pleasently suprised by a fast moving well organized line flowing into the camp site.
-Unpleasenlty suprised at how hard setting up a tent in the dark is and that we managed to remember confetti cannons, but not flashlights. Happy we remembered the confetti canons!
-Concerned by the amount of "neon band" hipster glasses, were they giving them out at the front gate? "Would you like to look like an Idiot sir?", "Why sure! you wouldn't happen to have a straight brimmed hat aswell?", "No, but you will be sure to find thousands inside".
-Faith restored in meeting some cool Sasquatchers, jams session and all out dance party ensue
-It's 4am, still dancing, very fucked, and god damn if this DJ doesn't rule the fucking- oh sorry that's just your iPod dock, well it's very cool aswell
-Time to sleep to the soothing slap back of port-a-potty, or more so Honey Bucket doors, lotta people peeing at 6am.
Saturday: Holy shit who put this crazy gorge here!
-Still impressed by the Gorge
-Wow, is all - WOW (slightly concerned I'm still messed)
-Nope I'm fine, still WOW though. This is going to be the best ever!!!!!!!!!!
-I'm in line, I hate this festival.
-I'm inside!!!!! The gorge is even bigger up close, I love this festival!!!!!!
-Oh yeah bands!!!!
-Mumford and Sons are very one dimensional, but luckly I'm in the mood to gradually feel ponderouse, sad - then realize "hey it'a not all that bad", then "Why was I so down on myself", to "I feel like picking things up little", "Yeah, I feel really good - lets sing a chorus!" and finally lets epically jig this shit up. 9 times in a row!
-Fool's Gold are very fun
-Portugal, The Man, yay the first band I came here to see. As usual they don't dissapoint.
-OK GO suck but make it easy to get to the gate for the National
-Also what the fuck is up with this mainstage, absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
-The National have gotten loads better and are fucking awesome! So are Matt's pale blue eyes.
-New stuff sounds great, Terrible Love has amazing live energy for a song I felt was more of a "headphone" track.
-It's Broken Social Scene!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I love these guys, especially kevin Drew:)
-Pheonomenal and satisfying as always. World Sick is almost too much to handle. Texaco Bithches - ecellent. Wanted to hear the new stuff live, wish granted.
-Food time!
-Puke time!
-Beer time!
-ATM time first i guess, now Beer Time!
-Whoa there is a lot of people watching Vampire Weekend, getting back to my friends at the gate will not be easy.
-Back with my friends! Managed to make 36 life long enemies along the way!
-Dancing like crazy to Vampire Weekend, but I hate Vampire Weekend? Tonight I like them, and actually give seriouse props to how tight they are and that Ezra something is a really good frontman.
-Now the day, just as a Mumford and Sons song, has gradually reached it's peak - MY Morning Jacket!!!!!!!
-Jim James has turned into a seriouse ax man since the last tour, happy they trimmed some the songs fron Evil Urges (Great album, not always great live).
-I now love clueless hipsters, as they have left and we are front centre for the rest of the show.
-Smokin' from Shooting into Run Thru is a new one and a good one.
-Out of the years and and countless MMJ shows, this is by far the best. James' vocals are on point the entire set and the band is now bigger than the gorge!
-When did it get so fucking cold??
-I did not pack for this, I'm dancing wrapped in my sleeping bag
-Fuck the sleeping bag! I'm dancing!!!!
-Okay I am very cold, bed time.
Not that anyone really care, but I will finish later.
