From the Sasquatch website ( www.sasquatchfestival.com/#/tickets/ ) " Camping Information Standard package * Portable water and hand wash sinks * On-site security patrols * Convenience store with ATM on site * Hot showers available for a small fee * Portable bathrooms throughout the site * The Pivot — central gathering area " Hot? For a small fee? Showers have always been free if you're willing to stand in line for 10 minutes to 3 hours. Honestly I can't remember if they were hot, I'm too fucked up by that point from sitting in line drinking. I scrounge for every last dollar at the fest, they had better charge me for 5 minutes under some water in there shitty ass showers (Literally... shitty, people take shits in there by the 2nd day). If they do charge, they need to upgrade.

The past 2 years i have been to sasq the sheriff is not even allowed in the venue (but he patrols right outside the entrance to the gorge bitchin and ticketin for mostly ridiculous reasons). Washington law allows private events to be hosted by there own security to some extent and the gorge protects its patrons.

Boxer has a bigger appeal at first, but i find Alligator better. Im really enjoying this new album, a lot more then i thought i would. I wish they would have given the album a C name to follow the Alligator Boxer C------ theme

I will note this, why is it people have to be on some substance to enjoy a concert? There's a reason Live Nation jacks up prices for alcohol. Not just to make money, but to ween people off the idea. I went to Metallica at Key Arena last year, no alcohol was sold. NO PROBLEMS. Imagine that. It was a test run for the future according to a friend who talked to the manager from the arena at a concert industry event this year. Believe it or not, venues don't like having to baby sit a bunch of drunk assholes. using this same logic live nation is obviously "weening" people from water as they charge 3$ a bottle now, if i wanted to go to a concert sober i'd check out where miley cyrus was heading as for underage drinking, unless you have a fake or get a wristband somehow your most likely going to get shit if seen drinking As for drinking... get a couple of flasks and gooch it, even if they know you have it, they are not going to give you a hassle as long as u act cool. Remember that the gorge hires out there own security for the weekend of SASQ so they do there own thing. Most of them are pretty cool ass people just there to have a good time also. o and if u are kind of hesitant on coming, don't be, its the best weekend of the year IMO

Ben Harper <Michael Franti yea and that is saying ALOT i live in montana and on the road trip to sasq! was listening and loving michael franti but since the set he played last year i haven't turned his tunes on once. the only possible thing that made it bearable to get through was a whole hell of a lot of drugs and excitement for the next act i imagine much like most felt for ben harper (*sigh*) waiting for FLips but on a positive note hes the last act of the last day =) so no real reason to stay

Well there is a small town just a few miles north of the gorge turn off, called Quincy. Which was, at least to me, surprising because it was a extremely Mexican village in the middle of Washington... but anyway, there are a few hotels, grocery store and some other food places. I don't know if you have the intentions of staying at a hotel every night of sasquatch but i don't think there is one person on this forum who would trade in the sasquatch camping for a 5 star hotel.
Trust me, if you have never been to sasq! before, the only thing that could possibly be appropriate after rocking out to the headliner... is the after partys in the campgrounds.
unless of course, your one of THOSEEEE people, that like to sleep at night, then there is a Premier camping (where quiet hours are observed)

What your in for?
Be prepared for three days of music driven blissfulness in a beautiful place. Be prepared for some of the friendliest north westerners and the great parties we throw until the wee hours of the morning.
I guess really, just be prepared to have a great time surrounded by a special kind of festival goers.

I just meant that there wasn't all the hostility that there is this year. The bottom line is that none of us are going to completely agree on music. But we are all here for the same reason, because we love music! I am super stoked for Sassie and it only has about half to do with who I actually get to see perform. Let's keep this fun!!! Nicely put. The spirit of sasquatch is really what its all about. Iv talked to multiple people in quincy who claim the sasquatch visitors are by far the nicest of any others (also the worst being... you guessed it warped tour)

General camping all the way. The Canadians seem to throw some wild after party Bring a bottle to the general camping and your bound to make some friends
Zoo town huh seanzor?
Another tip and one of the most obvious, lock your shit up before heading into the show. Even if you only have the tent to store your stuff, lock that up
