Favorite sets: Outkast, The National, Black Joe Lewis
Best hip hop performance by an artist not named Outkast: Chance the Rapper
Best late night party that I didn't go to and kinda wished I had: Major Lazer
Biggest disappointment: Liars canceling
Biggest clusterfuck: Getting routed through district 9, only to end up getting sent back to camp in the main parking lot because D9 was full.
Best stage dive: Tie: Cage the Elephant and Eric Andre
Least likely to happen, but it did: Moshing with Eric Andre to Deafheaven while Haim watched from beside the stage.
Best comedy set: Hannibal Burress
Biggest honor to see: Rodriguez
Biggest surprise to see standing next to us during Rodriguez: Hannibal Burress
Best electronic set: Classixx
Best blazing badass Bigfoot bluesfest dance party: Black Joe Lewis (probably the best daytime Bigfoot set I've ever seen).
Hardest set to walk away from because they started late and I wanted to get a good spot for Outkast: Mogwai
Best use of the "This side's louder than that side" technique: De La Soul
Best sunset chorus line dance party on the hill: Haim
Winner of the Sandrider/ MIA conflict: M.I.A. (I love Sandrider, but they literally live here and it was going to take a lot more than a local metal band to pull me away from the spectacle that was MIA on the Gorge mainstage at sunset).
Best performance by an artist who's album(s) I didn't really like: Crystal Fighters
Best band to sit in the grass and smoke a joint with: The Bright Light Social Hour
"Funnest time Chance the Rapper has ever had at a concert": Sasquatch 2014

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.

If it has just been me, I probably would have stayed and got to Outkast late, but I has promised ny girlfriend that we would watch Outkast together and I also wanted to get as close as possible for them. As it was, we were barely able to squeeze into the back section of the floor even getting there 15 minutes early.

Best artist-security interaction: Bridget Everett continually molesting the cutie yellow shirt while all the other yellow and white shirts laughed and took pictures. Also, she sat on an audience member's face onstage.

This rules. Thanks for providing me something to do at work.
Favorite sets: The National, Tycho, Mogwai Best hip hop performance by an artist not named Outkast: Chance the Rapper (same here) Best late night party that I didn't go to and kinda wished I had: I think I either went to, or hallucinated being at pieces of all of them. Biggest disappointment: I forget who it was because it was so boring but I remember saying "this set sounds like he is yawning into the microphone." Biggest clusterfuck: My 4 pound bag of granola that melted into a 4 pound block of granola Best stage dive: I'm too short to see stage dives. Least likely to happen, but it did: Amy Poehler walking passed me in the Banana Shack, or groping Matt Berninger's chest. Best comedy set: Eric Andre Biggest honor to see: I think it was not who, but how - seeing Tycho play for so many people. Biggest surprise to see standing next to us during Rodriguez: Jesus Best electronic set: Is Tycho electronic? Why don't I know the answer to that? Sasquatch brain. Best blazing badass Bigfoot bluesfest dance party: too many words in this cannot compute Hardest set to walk away from because they started late and I wanted to get a good spot for Outkast: Mogwai, so I didn't do it. Best use of the "This side's louder than that side" technique: Every set at Banana Shack. Best sunset chorus line dance party on the hill: I got so down to Pursuit of Happiness Winner of the Sandrider/ MIA conflict: M.I.A. but only so I could get into The National pit Best performance by an artist who's album(s) I didn't really like: Cut Copy Best band to sit in the grass and smoke a joint with: chune-yards "Funnest time Chance the Rapper has ever had at a concert": Sasquatch 2014-- daw. Easiest boarder for me to recognize IRL: Goldbeard<--- classic Goldbeard Best alcoholic breakfast food: Tecate

Nice. I didn't even realize there was more than one answer for a lot of those categories. Best band to sit in the grass and smoke a joint with: chune-yards Sorry, but this category only counts if you actually smoked with them. I ran into the BLSH just as they were leaving the Easy Street booth and invited then to sit and smoke. We sat and smoked and chatted and laughed. They were really cool guys. They were on their way to do an interview, which should be pretty interesting if we can find it, considering how high they were when they left.

Least likely to happen, but it did: Amy Poehler walking passed me in the Banana Shack Sorry to break it to you, but that wasn't Amy Poehler. I was in line with her and her husband chatting about her uncanny resemblance and how she always gets stopped on the street in Portland by people looking for a picture. Naturally, I then got a picture with her. Will post later when I find my camera.

I have a problem with look-a-likes.

Favorite sets: Outkast, Deafheaven, Panda Bear, Queens Honourable mentions: Mogwai, Classixx, Parquet Courts Best 21st Birthday gift: Sasquatch 2014 Least likely to happen, but it did: my cousin meeting Maya Rudolph...without me. wtf. Best hip hop performance by an artist not named Outkast: Chance Best late night party that I didn't go to and kinda wished I had: Gesaffelstein. Caught the last 3 songs and it was far too little. Biggest disappointment: Tie between Queens cutting their set short and the National only sounding decent if you were on the floor. A distant third is missing all of Shakey Graves. Best stage dive: Seriously? Georgie boy of Deafheaven. What a weird, awesome, enjoyable show. Best comedy set: Hannibal Burress, I assume....missed that shit Worst comedy set: Eric Andre. I dunno if it was just because of how high he was, but cheap jokes and rambling don't really do it for me. Biggest honor to see: Rodriguez, natch. Best electronic set: Panda Bear. Best visuals: Panda Bear/Danny Perez (edited after being elucidated as to the source of said visuals) Hardest set to walk away from because they started late and I wanted to get a good spot for Outkast: Mogwai....can't believe I missed the epiphanous finale... Best validation of bringing in earplugs: Mogwai Worst validation of bringing in earplugs: Deafheaven...they were knocked outta my skull two seconds in. Biggest clusterfuck: The Liars cancelling fiasco....seriously, how fucking hard is it for someone to get on the mic and say something?? This drunk lass behind me kept explaining how it looked like Kongos setting up, and I kept waving her off...but she got the last intoxicated cackle. Best performance by an artist who's album(s) I didn't really like: Cage the Elephant. 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. Easiest boarder for me to recognize IRL: Badchoices at the Deafheaven set, but only because he posted what shirt he'd be wearing. Would have said hi but I wasn't about to give up my front-and-center position!! Best alcoholic breakfast food: Flip Flip Flipadelphia ok i'll stop. Hope y'all had as killer a weekend as I did!

Least likely to happen, but it did: Our massive camp actually all camping together.
Best comedy set: Bridget Everett
Biggest honor to see: Goldbeard streak through the campground
Biggest surprise to see standing next to us during Rodriguez: NBF Chris

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?

Most awkward boarder interaction: Recognizing Fig by his giant Steve Bruele head, yelling his name and telling him I knew him, then forgetting how to make human conversation.
Most improved: AT&T's cell coverage. I had 4-5 full bars of 4G LTE for most of the weekend compared to being lucky to get anything at all last year.
Yeti act most likely to be back in two years on the main stage: Parquet Courts

Wait I met you? Or did we not quite get that far? And yeah, AT&T had to have installed a new tower.

Wait I met you? Or did we not quite get that far? And yeah, AT&T had to have installed a new tower. Not exactly. I yelled at you and you asked who I was, but I forgot how to answer abd we just stared at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before walking away.
