it was scarily easy to bring in alcohol. I accidently snuck in two beers on sunday (i forgot they were in my bag). I snuck in six beers on monday. I didn't even really want all of them.

You know what the second stage needs? An additional three feet of height. I could see nothing and my camera could barely see anything for Local Natives and Tallest Man on Earth, and furthermore this set-up deterred me from seeing The XX and Cymbals Eat Guitars. This is somehow Honda's fault and I blame them. totally agree. Could barely see any of Portugal. The Man or Edward Sharpe. I didn't particularly want to see Kid Cudi (large crowds and black people scare me!!!) there were black people at Kid Cudi? The crowd looked like a bunch of hipsters going to a KKK rally, ironically of course.

1. LCD Soundsystem 2. MGMT 3. The National 4. My Morning Jacket 5. Vampire Weekend/ Pavement some comments: LCD's set seemed extremely short, probably because they played Yeah for about 20 minutes. I was choked they didn't play New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down (although I doubted they would) but All My Friends was just: ammazzzinggg! I came into MGMT with low expectations and they totally blew me away. I think everyone who says they don't play well live or their sound doesn't translate have only listened to Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids and go in expecting a dance party when really its a total rock show. The Handshake was fantastic live. Plus they played Kids! Take that Coachella! The National are the fucking shit. They played pretty much their best possible set (within expectations). For some reason everyone i talked to who saw them on the hill said they didn't sound good up there, but fuck em. If they weren't in the pit for that then they don't deserve to enjoy it I was on the hill for the first bit of MMJ but went down for rest and THEY FUCKING KILLED IT AT THE END. I absolutely need the see them again. I was surprised at how into the crowd was for BOH. I knew they were popular but for some reason i always thought they were a band not alot of people loved, so it was nice to hear everyone sing along. Also surprised at how fucking haggard Ben Bridwell looks, haha. the others: I wish I had seen more of Massive Attack, and I loved what I did see, but i was cold and tired and wanted to check out Booka Shade. Their light show was phenomenal. Cymbals Eat Guitar are extremely talented, disappointed that the crowd wasn't really into it. I don't care for Kid Cudi much, but that was THE party of the weekend. Guy puts on a pretty good show, plus i know they guy who he punched so that was cool. Deadmau5 was fucking terrible. Apparently his opening was good, but his second half that i saw was brutal. Booka Shade on the other hand was really sweet. Boys Noize was awesome. Choked I left before he broke the monitor though. so yeah, it was a pretty good weekend. edit: oh right. Pavement. Amazing. The middle of their set was only okay i thought, but the beginning and end were goddamn awesome. Edit again: Oh fuck, forgot about Vampire Weekend. Its all coming back to me now. Hell we even started the conga line on the hill haha. sorry BOH.

that's a really odd (and useless) festival guide. I mean do they really not expect anybody to go to Mumford & Sons, Minus the Bear, P. The Man, or Edward Sharpe? then they list three bands playing at the same time? It's as if they don't even know how a festival works.

Bumbershoot's schedule had the headliners at the bottom last year. Not that it matters.

Sat: Mumford & Sons, Portugal. The Man, Edward Sharpe, Patton Oswalt BSS, National, Vampire Weekend, MMJ.
Sun: Caribou, Local Natives, Tallest Man on Earth, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Avi Buffalo, The XX, LCD Soundsystem, Pavement, Massive Attack. Maybe some Public Enemy.
Mon: Still undecided. Definitely seeing the Heavy. Is Past Lives even worth checking out? Haven't decided between Temper Trap/SRO/Phantogram/Todd Barry. Probably go with Bobcat over DBT. Then Dr Dog, at least partially. Then its the clusterfuck of some of my favourite bands all playing at once (She & Him vs. Mountain Goats vs. Japandroids/ No Age... FML) I'd really prefer to see whole sets and be fairly close to the stage so I won't be walking around catching bits of each set. I'll probably go with MGMT over New Pornographers since I'll probably see them in the summer. I'd really like to see/dance around to Boys Noize, but really, when am i ever going to get to see Ween again?
So, in conclusion, 22-25 bands, 2 or 3 comedians.

Sasquatch has developed a reputation as a great, weekend long party. Some people have no problem paying $200 (plus alcohol, etc.) for an excuse to party. To them the music is merely a bonus.

How far is it between stages? How much time does it take to get from the main stage to the wookie, yeti, etc.
