I ain't tryna throw that dirty wet blanket over anybody's festivities. Again: hope everybody had a fantastic time, whatever that may mean. Of course, I didn't mean to sound argumentative or anything. Just was curious what you meant!

Favorite sets: Panda Bear, Mogwai, Gesaffelstein
Best hip hop performance by an artist not named Outkast: Chance obviously
Best late night party that I didn't go to and kinda wished I had: Boys Noize (although I had heard it was mediocre from a friend. Can someone else weigh in on this?)
Biggest disappointment: I honestly wasn't disappointed the entire weekend long. I was either just way too happy or got lucky with my schedule!
Biggest clusterfuck: I echo the "our massive group getting separated twice on the way into the campground" sentiment. I was totally shocked that we made it in one piece.
Best stage dive: Not really a stage dive per se, but Matt Berninger from the National crowd surfed way at the back of the pit, with the mic still in hand. That was pretty cool.
Least likely to happen, but it did: Not being hung over on a single day. How the hell did that happen?
Best comedy set: Demetri Martin
Biggest honor to see: I'll probably never see Outkast again, so probably them.
Biggest surprise to see standing next to us during Rodriguez: I might be wrong about the timing on this, but Demetri Martin walked right by us when Rodriguez was playing on his way to go backstage to see him!
Best electronic set: Panda Bear and Gesaffelstein tied.
Most annoying early end to a set: Cut Copy
Winner of the Sandrider/ MIA conflict: Panda Bear
Best performance by an artist who's album(s) I didn't really like: Major Lazer, their albums drive me insane but they know how to throw a party!
Best band to sit in the grass and smoke a joint TO (no longer with): Chune-Yards
"Funnest time Chance the Rapper has I have ever had at a concert": Sasquatch 2014
Best alcoholic breakfast food: PBR. Liquid diet, guys.

Worst performance by an artist whose album(s) I didn't really like: Cut Copy. How can anyone above the age of thirteen take this band seriously? I was prepared to give them an honest chance until i saw FREE YOUR MIND. lawl. Does having an album named Free Your Mind automatically make a band not worth taking seriously? Cut Copy are super talented musicians, who cares what they name their albums?

Hardest set to walk away from because they started late and I wanted to get a good spot for Outkast: Mogwai Noooo Pancakes that means you missed what ended up being my favorite moment (of music) of the entire festival! Outkast was amazing, but holy shit Mogwai floored everyone there during their last song. An unexpected, enormous wall of noise came out of a delicately quiet melodic part of the song and right when it hit, my mouth screamed the words "holy shit" without my brain being consulted. The crowd all had their hands in the air without being told to, and everyone was absolutely frozen in place until the song ended. It's impossible to truly put it down in writing, but that was something I will never forget.

Gesaffelstein started off slow with a few meh songs, but really turned it up 6 or 7 notches by the end of his set. He was in my top 3 for sure. So intense, so good.

I was in the front row for the National and Matt Berninger used my hand to support himself when he was standing on the guard rail. I almost swooned!

I couldn't get one of those new Panda Bear songs out my head the whole drive home, and that moment during Mogwai's last song was perhaps the most astonishing thing that's ever happened to me. Amazing Sasquatch everybody, I don't think I could've asked for anything more. It was great meeting a whole lot of you! I need more!

I just noticed it's a .wav. That's why it is taking so long to download on this crappy hotel wireless. And now I know not to upload the wav's out of laziness! Usually I take the time to convert to mp3, but I was under the impression Soundcloud would convert it for me so I didn't bother this time.

It's that Audien the same as Audion from our dearly departed Julysquatch? Confusingly enough, no, it's not the same person.

Here it is! I hope it doesn't suck, because I normally spend way more time putting these things together. In any case, I hope it makes you all as excited as it's made me.

Sorry if I'm still giving the impression of being argumentative about this, I am really not meaning to be. Good talk!

I will be heading up to the fest Thursday afternoon (flexible on leaving time) and was wondering if anyone needs a ride. I can take 2-3 people. Just looking for easy going, good company and for a contribution on gas. Let me know! I summon Mutt, he's been looking for rides for some people in the Portland area I think.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you were on Obamacare and wanted to start using insurance through your job or whatever, you'd typically drop the Obamacare because it is made redundant by the new insurance. When I was unemployed they wanted to charge me $118/month for Obamacare, so it isn't much of a free service though.

Also it's interesting to hear how that works up there, I had no idea it was different. Canadians really are weird.
