Tom, let me help: 1st rule: music over comedy. 2nd Rule: full sets are overrated.
Saturday: The Breeders Vs. Modest Mouse - Breeders MIA Vs. Asscat - MIA The Whigs Vs. Throw me the Statue - Parts of both sets
Sunday: Death Cab Vs. Stephen Malmuks - Malkmus (come on now) Michael Franti Vs. The Kooks Vs. Brian Posehn - I saw this choice, and am going with Brian Posehn, with maybe a little Kooks. I hate Franti's music, so not my bag.
The Presidents Vs. The Blakes - Both Tegan & Sarah Vs. The Cops - Neither 65daysofstatic Vs. What Made Milwaukee Famous - 65days
Monday Ghoastland Vs. Flips - so not even a choice, though you could probably get in the entire Ghostland set before the Lips are even set up. This is the only show where it is crucial to get as close to the stage as possible, so that is a consideration.
TMV Vs. Michael Ian Black - ugh. Flight of the Concords Vs. Michael Showalter - Concords RyG vs. Eugene Mirman vs Cave Singers - tough call. Love me some Eugene, love that Cave Singers record...

Looks right - Looks like the Wookie set times are spaced at 1 hour and fifteen.
Dan generally sings a couple of New Porno's songs live, and when he isn't singing, he isn't on the stage. If he sings at all with the New Porno's, it will probably be at the end of their set.

My top two bands (Destroyer and The National) are playing more or less opposite to each other. Great.

Check out the initial lineup for Calgary's second annual Sled Island festival. Fucking hell. From that list, the only name that I recognize right off is Deerhunter, and I may be(probably am) thinking of the wrong thing... Is your added "fucking hell" implying good or bad? haha Really? I definitely meant it in a good way. And you definitely need to check into those headliners (Wire, Jonathan Richman (of the Modern Lovers fame), Mogwai, Of Montreal, No Age, Drive By Truckers - THE RZA!!!). This lineup (for me) is actually way more exciting than Sasquatch - when I read that list I stopped breathing a little.

Yeah, sorry everyone... No more room in my ride. It's possible that a spot frees up, but is more likely that another ride is added... I'll let you guys know, as the date gets closer... Everyone Lethbridge here eh? anyone go to UofL? I am a sessional sociology instructor at the UofL right now (I teach Digital Culture/Media courses there). Lethbridge is great, though is a tad unexciting.

quartermass: don't you have any places in your car from Calgary to Sasquatch? Still looking for one... Sorry - I am driving to Calgary (from Lethbridge) to pick up my rental RV on the Thursday. The RV has room for 6 and those spots are taken. I am travelling there in a caravan with three other vehicles, and all of those spots are taken as well (with people on "standby" - seriously). I have some friends in Lethbridge that are going as well (just found out about), and I am going to see if they have any room (for ctgal and arcticwoman).

arcticwoman: I am driving up to Calgary on Thursday (to pick up the RV): I could drive you up to Calgary to hook up with another carpool if you find a pool there.

Myself and 5 friends rented the biggest RV we could find in Calgary and are doing this in style this year. This thing is like 30 feet long. So awesome.

Pretty sure you can go in Friday if you pay for an extra day (at the campground)

Is there no partying in the premiere camping? I want the shuttle and the showers but I also want to drink and smoke. Is it just full of old people? Premiere = old people. You will get hassled if you try and party. Trust, it doesn't go over well.
