Yeah I was totally surprised by Of Monsters and Men Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero's. I was sitting there and all of a sudden I was like, I don't hate this.No difference.

the last ten minutes of St. Vincent's set were basically the greatest thing that happened all weekend. Exactly this.

Man, I just downloaded some Purity Ring tracks and I've got to say I'm equally sad for missing their set as I am thrilled to hear their debut album. I'm a fucking idiot. I just realized that I've totally seen them before, and I even told somebody about it at Sasquatch. WAY TO GO, PEA'S MEMORY

Both Purity Ring and Com Truise were pretty big surprises for me. I really loved the little light balls which corresponded to the drum pad for Purity Ring.

Funny you say that, because Com Truise played that same show with Purity Ring, with Neon Indian headlining. All around awesome show! Those glowing balls were indeed pretty cool.

Yeah I wanted to see that tour when they hit Boise but it was at one of the worst venues in town and I wasn't about to give them my patronage. The Reef managed to ruin a STRFCKR show and I haven't gone there since. Also; 18+ shows :cripes:

18+ makes no fucking sense to me. Either make it all ages, or (preferably) 21+.

21+ shows sound like the most amazing thing ever.

They're SO nice, and rarely sell out, so you aren't packed in like sardines with a bunch of sweaty kids trying to rush the front row. Don't you guys have 19+ shows? I swear I've been to a few in Vancouver.

I was fully wanting to stay for the entirety of Beck's set since I knew I'd miss something awesome at the end (I did), but my friends were nearly literally falling asleep after the Sea Change songs and they decided they wanted to bone out after Paper Tiger. I seriously regret missing St. Vincent to try to get closer for Jack White, and then leaving a few songs into The Roots' set because my friends had no interest in them. I swear 10% of your posts are about how you missed nearly every cool band at Sasquatch because your friends don't like them, or you had to take a shower. It was the same last year. Next time your friends want to leave a show, think to yourself, "wonk told me to grow a pair." You're welcome. Here's to the new you. I didn't think anyone would bother to pay that close of attention to my posts, but yeah you're very right. I've missed too many good sets because the people I go with are ready to head back to the campground by 10pm every night. Next year, I'm doing whatever the hell I want to.

True story. Teenagers at shows can piss right off. Sorry Geno! Haha. Only messing. By the way, your buddy going toe to toe with Gramma about headphones was fuckin' awesome. I was telling Gramma after how both you guys have some pretty cool confidence about you. Glad I got to meet you.

Geno still needs to recover his Sigur Ros ticket. I've been holding the thing for way too long. My former coulda-shoulda-woulda've been boyfriend has been trying to persuade me to sell it since I got it for above face. I'm loyal to you and haven't even met you, Geno; that is the beauty of this board. But get the thing quick, would you?

Geno's friend was a rad dude, but anyone who claims that Sennheisers sound better than Bose is just plain wrong.
