I will try and find some way to make it work. Do you think we could make it just a little earlier so it doesn't conflict with the first set of bands. Sorry about the conflict, but I am hosting a big breakfast in the AM, so noon-1pm is firm.

Darn that is right during shabazz palaces. Is the vip and premiere the same thing? Yes, same thing. Sorry about the conflict.

Toro Y Moi fill the Sasquatch mandate of rising-hype band to a tee. A smart addition if it comes to fruition. LCD touring mates Holy Ghost!, would be a sweet (and easy) add too.

If you're in Vancouver this week, the Alibi Room currently has a wicked lineup that includes Rogues Double Mocha Porter and John John Juniper as well as many local one-off's like Central City's Chipotle Mai Bock and Conrad's Fresh Ginger Beard (the brewer is a redhead with lotsa facial hair, hence the play on words )

Sounds like their is enough interest brewing for the first ever SasqCraft. Still, if you are thinking about bringing something to potentially trade feel free to make a post so that we have a better idea of the scale of this inaugural event. For the onlookers, creating a proboards profile takes less time than you may think. Stay tuned for the flagged meeting point and time.
Unlike Bonarroo, glass is permitted in the campgrounds.
The coconut porter is made by Swans (Victoria, BC).

South Carolina? That's awesome.
Just to clarify, "craft" is defined here as small-scale, independently owned, and traditionally made beers. Quebec's Unibroue make some fine beers, but in recent years they were acquired by a large Japanese based corporation (Sapporo), and now are produced on a mass-scale. It's all about supporting your community brewer and reaping the rewards of his/her quality over quantity ethos.
Given that the Gorge is at the crossroads of some strong beer cultures (portland, seattle, san fran, vancouver, _[insert your community here]_) i have no doubt that at least a few of these beer nerds also enjoy solid live music. Rep.

No hate on the cheap nostalgic beer - it has its place - still, there are no doubt lots of craft heads that are attending this fest. Let us know if you plan on bringing some local favorites.
SoCar, EllensBee... bring it!

^the border concern is understandable, but you bring up a good point...no shame on bringing a well made cider to the swap!

After all this beer enthusiasm....New thread: "SasqCraft Beer Swap" now up. Basically, bring some local craft and trade up. Day and time is to be determined.

Judging from the commentary on other threads, there are certainly more than a few festival heads who also enjoy a well made beer. In previous years, I have made a little detour into Seattle to pick up some bottles I would be hard pressed to find in Vancouver to take to our campsite. This year I will do my shopping at home and pack an assortment of celebrated B.C. craft beers to hopefully share:
Are any of you Washington, Oregon, Alberta, Cali, Colorado...campers planning on doing the same? Perhaps we can meet somewhere at a certain time and each collect some delicious souvenirs.

I overheard someone suggest using clear plastic bags for food and bringing that into the festival. Has anyone seen if the gates are ok with this?

No Chromeo ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( pls omg pls Did anyone else think that the Chromeo DJ set sucked. Dave One can't mix, and Pee Thug was just standing there holding a mic for show. I expect Dam-Funk & Hudson Mohawke to be much better party-rockers. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if James Murphy played a set as well.
