It's hardly a secret, but the real reason that Daft Punk stood up Stephen Colbert is so they could spend more time working on their Sasquatch set.

I wish you were at Coachella. I had a 10 minute conversation with megatron about vaginers. Wasn't all of Coachella a series of those sort of 10 minute discussions with Megatron and the 'Nater?

I must be the only person on the internet who thought the album was forgettable and mostly boring. Sigh. Oh wait, I found one FB friend who agrees, so now there are 2 of us on the entire internet who think it's boring.

2 years ago I left at about 6:30am Tuesday morning. There was 0 traffic. If you're leaving early on Tuesday to get to Seattle for work, you probably won't have a traffic issue so much as a too tired / hungover issue.

Don't underestimate how magical it is to wake up next to Fish Magician in the morning. Seriously, it's pretty awesome. Even if you're pretty sure it was better for him than it was for you.

... aaaand the moral of the story is that Megatron needs to at least create an account here and pretend to be a boardie until next year. Shax, get on it!!!
(fine print: do you remember,my other friends at the Spaghetti Show tunes after Coachella? They're from Calgary and they may have access to extra face-value Sasquatch tickets (or have extras themselves). I can inquire if you need...)

You complain Bumbershoot's Lineup is bad, but if you it by "Aritsts that have played Sasquatch in the last 5 years and which I enjoyed seeing" you might be surprised.

I got to the gorge Friday at about 11:30am in 2011. Waited approximately 40 minutes in line, was set up in another 20. From what I could tell, the lines got longer as the day went on Friday. I would imagine it being pretty easy if you can plan to arrive as early as possible Friday morning.
On another note, when you arrive does not necessarily correlate to how close you will be camped. I arrived Friday, and was almost within spitting distance of premier camping, and about 20 minutes walk closer to the venue than some people who showed up Thursday.

I seriously don't think they'll be there next year either. Technically they were there this year.

Hopefully the sound at Alex Clare is better than at Coachella. Actually, I'm still not sure whether it was a sound problem or if he just has no vocal power when hitting notes 1/2 octave above his normal range. The sound cut out consistently when he hit high notes at Coachella and I was in front of the sound booth so I'm skeptical.

Also the whole hanging out with the same large group of people. hope to see you next year! All of the Coachella peeps can confirm that I don't hang much during the festival. I'm the stereotypical lone wolf. If you want to see the same things as me, that's cool, but I'm not going to waste a lot of time meeting up nor am I going to expend a lot of effort beyond telling you where I'm at. I probably spent < 10% of Coachella hanging with the boardies (during the festival, not at the camp site) even though I camped with them. I still had a blast, that's just how I roll.

And if I do show up, you'll definitely be able to get me on your bingo card. I look like my avatar after dark (though possibly a different color).

J-Dawg, I forget, are you going to Sasquatch this year? You're one of the last people on my boarder bingo! Not this year, no. A combination of newish job, poor planning, a decision to prioritize Coachella, and family obligations wiped out any chance of Sasquatch this year. Next year is a distinct possibility though. Assuming I can get my work visa renewal straightened out in April (or earlier).

This comes up every year, the only variable is whether it's hockey or soccer. You will get internet access (3G) in the campground, but you won't be able to comfortably stream anything. You'll either have to go "to town" as others mention, or just let go a bit, wear your Canucks jersey during the festival, and watch the games on your PVR when you get home. If you're at all into music you'll probably forget you're missing the games in all honesty. The Gorge's high magick will take care of that.

And if 'nater joined, we'd have the subtitle "V is for Vagina"

The bf and I were at the Adams Avenue Unplugged festival yesterday and decided that if we were going to form a gang, we'd buy Vespas and then be the Violet Vespa 'Vengers. We'd wear violet velour vests, fastened by Velcro.
OK, this was probably way funnier if you were there...
