Costello and My Morning Jacket would be awesome.

Can we initiate a letter writing campaign in order to ensure Boston Spaceship's appearance? At least perhaps deluge their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/bostonspaceshipsI can guarantee most of the Sasquatch line up is already done, have fun with that.

Think of all of the poor Canadians who had to take two days off to attend Mondays show? This is no one's problem but those who have previous commitments(like work) and choose to go. LiveNation thinks of no one but LiveNation.

I think an awesome addition would be Patrick Wolf. Battle sounds like it will be very over the top, I'd love to see him return.

Maybe Verizon should do a better job advertising. I was never aware of late night shows, as I'm sure many other patrons were not. Speaking of late night, how come whenever one posts a comment, three hours are added to their post time? If we all live on the west coast, shouldn't the clock on this site be west coast time? I am probably way out of line, I guess you are all east coast folk. Actually they would show advertisements for said shows on the main stage screens and Verizon would advertise at their booth/car. I actually hated the promotion after awhile.

Did anyone here go to the comedy tent area last year? I never saw the tent. I think they'd eventually add a dance tent. I just don't know if there's any good area where they could accommodate an extra however many thousand people for dj's/electronic/dance acts. that's definitely the area that needs most improvement............ And Abe Vigoda= Ridiculously great band! I did, I saw UCB and Eugene Mirman there. It was full both time. Seriously like there isn't enough dancing at night when people are partying? This isn't Coachella or Bonnaroo, so I don't see dance tents or jam bands HAVING to be at Sasquatch.

I say replace the comedy tent with whatever dance stuff. Then throw the comedy on a stage somewhere. I like the comedy a lot but it was done horribly last year.

Verizon sponsored the late show both times, I believe Ozomatli took place in what was the comedy tent during the day. I considered Ozo but I'd seen them in 07 and 08, didn't need to see them a third time on the same day I already saw them.

The idea of Dave Matthews performing at Sasquatch actually makes me angry. I was a stage hand at their 08 shows at the Gorge and I just can't fucking take that shit. They fed me well, way better than I normally eat, but their music sucks and their fans are really annoying.
BUT they aren't a deal breaker if the overall line-up is good. Have the other days have amazing headliners and I'm good. I don't like the Cure but I love the Flaming Lips and REM, made 08 fine.
If they do have Dave Matthews, I request Ghostland on the stage in the field again as I missed them in 08 and felt throwing them against the Lips was a bit unfair. They were good in 07 but I didn't get to see their lovely light show.
I do have to go with quartermass though and say I absolutely hate jam bands, I like music to go somewhere. Not start and never stop. If they have DMB or Phish or whoever, get me Bad Brains again.
