Sasquatch is also always a shitshow as far as organization goes. It can be frustrating as hell but I just expect it now and plan accordingly. So what does your plan include to help mitigate the crappy organization? Are there some specific things to avoid? Do you have to line up in a certain spot at a certain time for something that makes it all better? Are corn chips involved?

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Parliament - Mothership Connection (album), also Flashlight (song). Groovy song. If you've never heard it, give it a listen. Sly and the Family Stone - Stand Sly and the Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On Earth, Wind, and Fire - All 'N All
Been in a bit of a funk this last week... and Neutral Milk Hotel is brand new to me and I really like them. Their singer has a unique voice that at first is kinda scratchy and screechy, but it weirdly grows on you after a few listens. And I love the horns. Definitely on my must see list.

Can I get a schtick? Or is it something you only get if you get it? I don't get it.

Oh, and mutt uhhhh don't count on people being quiet out of deference to your age, and CERTAINLY don't think that GrumpMutt telling them to be quiet is going to make things any better. Just as a general rule, it is best to make friends with your camp neighbors and not say anything critical or confrontational to them unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. Being at odds with the people around you is counter-intuitive to the whole Sasquatch deal. I hear ya. My plan is to make such good friends with my camp neighbors that they will look out for the old man in their midst, you know, kind of adopt me as their grandpappy.

As a noob to the entire camping experience at a festival, I expect some level of commotion throughout the night. But I also expect that there will be some allowance made for older festival goers who need at least a few hours of sleep at night, regardless of how many corn chips have been eaten. If I have neighbors who over share their music into the wee hours, I am afraid bad mutt will come out and say something un-neighborly, especially if it takes more than a dozen requests to turn that shit down. And shit is all encompassing - I don't care if you have angel music direct from heaven blasting at 4am, it will make mutt mad to not be able to sleep a little bit.

If you want to try to fly into Portland, I will have a couple of seats in my truck and lots of room for stuff.

Camping passes are gone!
And to summarize - the scum continuum: Hitler > Scalpers > Music industry moguls > Lorde > Justin Bieber > actual scum. I would suggest that Bill O'Reilly belongs between Hitler and scalpers, but that's just me.

Scalpers worse than Hitler? I hope we're talking about Jimmy Bob Hitler from Pigfuck, AR. He is a real dick!

So if I get an unsolicited offer over face value from a rich tweener who doesn't know Sasquatch from Sacaweaja, and I use my wind fall to purchase a solar powered towel warmer and enough towels for a good sized shrewdness of dress wearing primates, and then set up and share those warm towels with the district 9 natives during the festival, does that still qualify me as a scalper? I don't either want to be a dick or have my dick cut off, and this thing about knowing what I do on the internet has me just a little freaked out - do you think the NSA is watching us?

So, I have decided to take Gramma's advice and sell these gold and premiere camping passes. However, I am in a bit of a quandry. If I leave this thread up until I sell these to a board guest - at face value mind you - then how likely is it that they will sell? It seems like righteous boarders never upgrade, so that means the market is limited to guests on this board.
If I post on craigslist or some other board, are there consequences if I get more than face value?
My feeling is that if I post somewhere else and get more than face value, then that both removes a potential campground snob from the rest of us unwashed dress wearing primates, and provides some extra change for a towel warmer, which I hear is one of the prime perks of upgraded camping. Anyway, how would anyone from the board really know what I do, unless I show up with said towel warmer, and then I will just buy you off with a warm towel to keep your mouth shut.
So, I am updating the top post in the thread to indicate price and availability. I will also update the post when the passes are sold. You are welcome to continue to comment on Sasquatch fashion, magic couches, and the astronomical anomaly that is the gorge as you see fit. That at least will keep the thread busy.
I may also just call Livenation and sell the passes back to them, but where's the fun in that?

Your joke requires context. Actually, a joke, if indeed a joke was intended, requires a set up and a punch line. Let's try this: "a loud mouth valley girl and a crook with an abnormally large ________ walk into a bar. The bartender looks at the girl and says (insert punch line here)."
