I understand that some people just want to enjoy a music festival for the music, but man I couldn't imagine ever ending my weekend experience at only that. I work and study my ass off all year long, sometimes a weekend of absolute epic blasphemy and carnage is just what the doctor ordered. Hear Hear!!

Being the internet/music addict that I am, I spent alot of time on the Sasquatch Facebook page last year and ended up sort of grouping together with about 10-15 different people from all over the country on there. We all decided to meet up outside of the Gorge and then drive in together and set up camp with each other. Ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made. Despite all of us coming from San Diego, Vancouver, Eugene, Ypsilanti, Missoula, and Seattle, I've remained extremely close friends with all of them and we've all traveled around since to visit each other. We all plan on doing the same thing next year and I'm sure it will end up being another amazing camping experience with all of them.

I don't know, I could list off all the reasons I'm over camping at the Gorge, but instead I'll say this: I give zero shits what any of you think about how I attend Sasquatch, and your self-righteous paragraphs praising your ability to sleep on the ground and smell like shit for a weekend are wasted energy as far as I am concerned. Clearly the circle jerk you're attempting to set up is working out well for you, and if you guys want a little club of xTruexFestivalxGoersx then knock yourselves out. Actually, while I was typing that, I decided to review this page and see if I missed any points. I decided to go ahead and read the posts I couldn't read earlier because I was rolling my eyes too hard to make out what you were trying to say. Ahh, I understand what you're saying now. I still don't agree though. Sure, there are idiot drunk kids running around, frat boy douche bags doing beer bongs, and woo girls wooing, but these people exist everywhere. And there are plenty of decent folks there too. At least at Sasquatch you are given enough room that you can separate yourself from the baddies if you want. I've seen way worse camping atmospheres elsewhere. Examples of things that I've never seen at Sasquatch but have encountered elsewhere: entire rows of honey buckets overturned and set on fire, rivers and lakes of human waste because the toilets that are still standing have overflowed, hoards of 16 year old boys taunting women to "show us your tits!" and then grabbing them when they refuse, tents so close together that you have to step on them to get past, the constant smell of garbage fires, explosions in the middle of the night from people putting empty gas canisters on their garbage fires, the list goes on. After seeing this stuff, Sasquatch is like a dream. I guess it's really what you make of it. For me it is always a great camping experience. I go down with a large group of other animal hats so I always have a solid and comfortable base. We're inviting to the people we meet and somehow always find some quality people. We give off a certain energy and we get it right back. This is my idea of a good time. This is clearly written in English, and your spelling, punctuation, and grammar are impeccable. (I would suggest that double spacing after each sentence is unnecessary, but if you wanna treat this board like it deserves MLA treatment, then power to you.) But what you don't realize is that in all of those sentences you don't make a single coherent point. There is no cognizable link between your words. You are just typing for the sake of soapboxing, and I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it. I8 out, bitches.

Thanks for the critique there I8, but for someone so concerned with my lack of "coherent points" you're very quick to omit your own argument and replace it with insults and an "I don't care what anyone thinks" attitude.
I am genuinely curious why you are (or anyone else willing to respond) choosing a hotel over camping this year, but I guess I may never find out. If nothing else, you'd think that people would be willing to discuss this topic in this "discussion forum."

my favorite new saying: I give ZERO shits.
but seriously, I don't think sasquatch is as bad as whoever that guy was making it out to be... "inferior atmosphere?" You gotta admit that sounds pretty snooty. words of advise, if you don't like the atmosphere, and if you came and have very little motivation to return, then don't!

You gotta admit that sounds pretty snooty. words of advise, if you don't like the atmosphere, and if you came and have very little motivation to return, then don't! Sorry for presenting a snooty attitude, I had an absolute blast at Sasquatch, went with two car loads of friends and my brothers, got to meet the Drive-by Truckers, enjoyed a spectacular view, easily approached the front of the stage mid way through MMJ (with ample dancing room, where was everybody??), joined great parties, chilled on the hill and ended it all with Ween. It's just compared to other fests this was the first time I've seen a lot, not just one episode here or there, but all over the place of truly disrespectful individuals. Many instances looked like a high school house party, destroying property, male chest puffing, literally heard "show us your tits" way too regularly, and way too many people who could not control their liquor or substances. Now this is probably because the crowd was significantly younger than a lot of fests (like I'm talking the amount of people 18 and under) and that it is a smaller fest. No doubt this is most likely happening at Bonnaroo (maybe), but with 80 000 luckily in six years I've never witnessed it. I still met tons of really cool people, but also witnessed the above more than any other fest. There's my peace on this. With great friends, great views and great bands, Sasquatch is one rad fest.

Really? Well you really seemed to give a giant heaping shit about people who call Sasquatch " " in the other thread. So I wonder why you feel you can spew your own self-righteous whining when you see fit, but trample all over everyone elses? Either learn some consistancy or stop letting your internet stiffy get the best of you.

Who gives a fuck where your staying, just have fun! And quit trying to argue over such a damn good experience either way. Regardless of where you are, everybody is there for one reason.....to just have fun and forget about all the other bullshit that is bombarding this world!

Dude that's because " " is ridiculous and you know it. When you're right, you're right. I butcher "Sasquatch" in many ways when I refer to it, but I will never be caught calling it . Bleh!
