I've been super into Animal Collective since I had the Great Branching Out in 2009. Everyone I'm friends with now is very aware of this, and they tease me about it, whatever. Most of us like similar music outside of this, so it's not really a big deal. But I have to always listen to my anco privately. But I like to share with people, I like forming a community of bonds, whatever, you know? So here I think, ok, I love this music, and a lot of other people do too, right? So clearly there's something there. And I know my friends love dancing. I have seen them. And I don't usually get to dance to my Animal Collective, even though it is awesome whenever I do. And my birthday is coming up, so I'm like-- I am never allowed to do stuff like this, but if it's my birthday, I can throw whatever party I want! And people will want to celebrate with me, so they'll come, and then I will show them how fun it is to dance to Animal Collective and we can have a cool moment of togetherness. So my roommates agree, whatever, I invite people, I borrow some good speakers, I make a poopin playlist of anco's best dance songs. I am filled with joy as I'm making it because of how much shit is packed into this music and how I can't wait to give people the opportunity to feel the way I feel, or at least give it a shot and like have a fun little dance party where all you gotta do is move your body how you want. The friends arrive, we Inebriate, whatever-- there's some chill music playing, I have a short little Event, and when the Event is done, I turn off some of the lights and turn on the anco dance playlist and I start dancing. No one else does. So I'm all, whatever, I'll roll with the punches, I thought I started off using a good, more recognizable song with "Summertime Clothes," but maybe they just need to take awhile to get used to it sonically, they'll join in. They don't. A few songs go by before I vacate the dance floor myself, to try to do the Dance-Drag Some People Over There. Everyone flat-out refuses, standing and talking instead. I had two allies, two dudes who helped bring over the speakers beforehand. They'd go around and convince people to dance too, both real likeable dudes, and nothing. People refused. People I've been friends with for years. I was getting frustrated, cuz you know, I want people to be having fun but the Literal Name that this party was marketed as was "Animal Collective Dance Party" or "anco dance party." They knew what this was going to be. My next move was to try to announce to the group that we should all dance, because dancing really just needs some momentum. Once everyone is dancing your own moves don't mean anything and you're less self conscious. So I flip on the lights and remind people it is, in fact, an Animal Collective dance party, so dance, or please leave. Lights back off, and then me and those two dudes and one of the dude's little sister and I start dancing and everyone else goes back to talking. And mind me, I put on a real banger at this point: Bluish. That song is so likeable, it's fucked up. While I'm dancing, this other dude walks up to me and decides to hit me with the "You just can't dance to this is the thing. There's no beat." And I'm super like dude what, because the only rule that I made for this party with regards to the dance was "no bitching about the music." Those were my words. And here is this dude, BITCHING ABOUT THE MUSIC. So I tell him to leave, and he reassures me, "I was already on my way out." So after that dude and his bad mood were gone, I was hopeful. Maybe he was like pulling down the General Comfort Level with the music. But nope. After dancing by myself for few more songs I'm ready to bail, so I shut off the music. People continue talking, but the smoke alarm starts going off and so that makes everyone leave except the two speaker dudes, and we chill for a bit, whatever. And you know, it's really bothering me. I don't know what the reason nobody danced was. I don't know whether I was just being too weird about everything so anyone would have felt uncomfortable, or if this was just a shitty group of friends who would rather drink free booze than put a bit of effort into participating in something I was excited about. Since, I've been feeling weird when I listen to any anco. My Advice for others on this undertaking: maybe don't. Just hope you can see them live next time they tour. That post was kinda bonkers... Also, I triple dog dare you NOT TO DANCE during this amazing Jimmy Mack cover... You brought this on yourself, you KNOW I will exploit any and all opportunities to talk about Animal Collective.

Hehe, Matt you were actually the first to break the official news: Oh no! I'm such a buzzkill I thought I remembered someone sharing credible speculation from having heard rumblings about it before the official announcement and thought it had been you, but I'm probably imagining things. I broke the Outkast as a headliner news real early on due to hearing rumblings from a credible source, maybe that it what you are remembering.

Did someone throw up on Nick's username Did Fig throw up his hat onto Nick's username? I reiterate my statement that I will eat a hat if this happens. Fig will vomit that hat into my mouth and I will eat it Ace Ventura style if they cancel weekend 2.[/quote]

I'm too sad to search the boards right now. When was Julysquatch cancelled? And who broke the news here first? Nadine Hurley? Mid-March. Oregonian reported it on the 21st. Hehe, Matt you were actually the first to break the official news: Holy shit, that was a depressing thread to re-read. Also, we're still waiting Fig and company... If Julysquatch gets canned this year I will literally eat a hat. I reiterate my statement that I will eat a hat if this happens. I reiterate my statement that I will eat a hat if this happens. Fig will vomit that hat into my mouth and I will eat it Ace Ventura style if they cancel weekend 2.

Washington's Governor coming out against Trump with passion was good to hear/see. Annnnd... douche bag Ed looks like he *might* be coming over to our side (finally!) on the new kid jail which groups have been fighting against for years now! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-mayor-ed-murray-asks-county-to-reconsider-youth-jail-plan/ “I recognize that an immediate transition to zero youth incarceration is unrealistic. I have some concerns about the current plans for the detention facility given our joint goals of working toward zero detention,” he wrote. “The landscape of research on best practices and intervention strategies points to mounting evidence against incarcerating young people that was not known at the time this facility was being planned.”

Props to y'all for starting an appreciation thread about one of my all time favorite Animal Collective songs! For realz though, check it out if you haven't heard it. It's the last song on the visual album ODDSAC, which should really be watched in it's entirety while peaking on acid.

I'm still pretty damn depressed but I found one silver lining-- Twin Peaks comes out a couple days before Sasquatch, now I can watch it with my Sasquatch family over Memorial Day Weekend. Changed my name back to Nadine Hurley in celebration. Lol, I just posted this in earnest in the "What made you smile today?" thread but then I read it again and it just sounds sad. Ugh, I AM sad damnit, I thought I would think about it less as time passed but I'm officially losing sleep over this for the third night in a row now.

Honestly, if there was one strong headliner (for my tastes) then there is actually enough in the undercard as-is for me to be ok with this lineup. It really does show me how awful of a decision it was to book 21 Pøøp Emøjis as the FIRST ARTIST ON THE POSTER. I still would have felt a little cheated by the undercard, that second line is pretty shitty too but it really does look so much better without 21 pilots first and I'm not even a huge LCD fan. It's funny, when everyone was speculating about why they pulled Frank's name off of everything and one of the leading theories was that the highest billed artist got upset about it, I thought to myself, "who would be so douchey that they would actually throw a hissy fit over something like that?" ...........oh.

I've got a few young groups Jagwar ma, Hotelier, Car Seat, Thee oh see, and a few other young artists that will burn the gorge down with me. For the record, Thee Oh Sees have been a band for 20 years and have almost as many releases, they ain't really "young". And by all means you should dolphinately go to their set, they were super amazing at Primavera. Double drumz for life. Burrito has been asking snacks for them for a very long time, it really sucks that this is the year he finally got them.

It's worth noting, if it hasn't already been mentioned, that all the usual stages are still listed on the festival map.
Edit- Festival map is still from 2016 though.

Gramma and Stormy will be there. Oh shit! Looks like we are going to the Sunday show most likely. I will shoot burrito a text once I know my details so he can relay it to the OGs and maybe I can convince them to grab a drink I think Burrito plans on going too! It's on my list of "potential things to do instead of Sasquatch". OH FUCK, IT MAKES ME SO SAD TO TYPE THAT.

I'm going to predict Arcade Fire/Frank Ocean/Bjork for Upstream. I would be very surprised if this was incorrect. My method involved photos. Paul Allen DOES have the money to blow on that. Maybe throw in LCD instead of Frank The guest curators are very promising. Would be worried if Paul Allen was doing the booking.
