hornedgramma,
you confuse me. I don't whether I'd more likely see you at an Insane Clown Posse show or Burning Man; but it seems like you might fit in at either.

I have been hearing rumours about a big festival happening in Squamish, BC on labor/labour day weekend. Anyone know anything about it? there is supposedly a website coming soon... liveatsquamish.com/

1/2 a cookie was the only mistake I made and it kinda messed up my Sunday. I ate a lot of food I just brought in, and drank whatever didn't get confiscated. That and the fact that I was too messed up to get drunk Sunday from the aforementioned funky dessert, and it probably saved me about $100-200. I did have the yakisoba noodles twice; and got bad gas from them twice. I guessed I learned my lesson the first time

Love reading everyone elses Top 5 moments. Her are mine (and they are more like moments, not total performances)
5) The Hold Steady. Watched them by myself as everyone else wanted to see the National. I was very pleased with the decision
4) Ween. They played Roses are Free, which is a song I knew from Phish covering it. I had forgotten it was an original Ween song. Danced pretty damn hard to it, as they played it better than the version I have.
3) MMJ. Great show. They started off with my two favorite songs, which definitely surprised me.
2) BSS. Although their set was a little short and bare, I love these guys everytime I see them.
1) Tallest Man On Earth. I got Backstage passes on Sunday, so I got to watch one of my favorite musicians from the side stage (which I also did with Midlake and TMBG) with a good friend. My highlight was either being the only ones dancing to Pistol Dreams, or else meeting him afterwards and offering a Canadian cigarette.
Other tidbits: - Met James Murphy (briefly). He was a nice, and sociable character. Unfortunately I was a little messed up for their show (stay away from the weed cookies next time!), but I still enjoyed it, from what I recall. - I was impressed by Patrick Watson. I didn't get to see his full set, but I will the next time he is in town. - Disappointed I missed Mumford and Sons (arrived a little layte on Saturday), and Caribou (waited far too long in line to get in). - I felt old at Sasquatch. so many underagers raving up the dance tent. Hey, at least I haven't gone grey yet; maybe next year. - Stay off the weed cookies.

Oh god I just remembered I posted this. Whoops. I'm about to hit the road now for Portland. Then Seattle on Friday, then the Gorge on Saturday! I'll see all of you there BUT NO ONE WILL HAVE ANY IDEA. (Hint: Look for the guy with the alphabet tattooed around his right arm. Yes, really.) IT'S BEEN GREAT! I look forward to exchanging stories with everyone in like a week and a half (I'm staying an extra few days in Seattle). Haha, I am now going to spend a creepy amount of time looking at guys forearms. I am intrigued about findin out who this funny, often irritable I8 is. I guess it will however take away from time spent ogling female rear ends...

I don't smoke often, but when I do, I prefer Belmont Milds.
I wont be shorting myself this year on smokes...as the poster above said, not a fan of american smokes, and they were not easy to buy last year at the festival...I wouldn;t be surprised if in a couple years they try to make the whole festival non-smoking.
But don't worry folks, I promise not to leave a single cigarette butt (nor empty pack) littered on the ground.

EEEK, this is tough but, here goes... Saturday: Lots of mini-conflicts that I am somewhat perturbed by, and one major one (which most of you out there can figure out). Driving down from Vancouver that morning, so I likely wont get into the fairgrounds before 2pm. Mumford & Sons -> (bit of) Portugal. The Man -> The Middle East -> Patrick Watson -> BSS -> The Hold Steady (alone cause all my friends will be staying for the National) -> Nada Surf/Vampire Weekend (meh, either or) -> MMJ -> Deadmau5 I have a feeling MMJ will play on just as late as Deadmau5 will, so I will likely miss out on him again. Oh ya, I won't be seeing Nurses. It was not the least bit rewarding seeing them open for TMOE. Sunday Gotta be there early, can't miss Caribou. I also have a little bit of a blank in the middle, so I might have to check out Mike Birbiglia, depending upon how badly i need shade. Caribou -> maybe some Langhorne Slim -> Local Natives -> TMOE -> TMBG -> Avi Buffalo/Rumpus -> Tegan And Sara -> some dinner with Vetiver but leave early for -> LCD Soundsystem -> Pavement -> Massive attack -> Booka Shade Monday Won't be going home til Tuesday, so I am excited to see all of Ween, and not worrying about being sober. I really want to see Camera Obscura, however people on this board are scaring me away from them. I guess I wouldn't be devastated to see BoH instead. The Heavy if I am not still drinking by my tent -> Mayer Hawthorne ->Temper Trap -> drive-by Truckers -> Dr. Dog -> Japandroids -> Camera Obscura -> MGMT -> Ween I am gonna say 23 complete music sets and 3 or 4 of which I will catch a part of the set

Peatrick,
He closed his encore with that song in Vancouver.
I am a big fan of his, and so I was hugely excited to see him in Vancouver, at a small converted church which typically has fantastic sound, and where you actually sit in pews.
Funny side note, the venue didn't really have a back entrance, so Kristian had to enter in the front door of the building, and fight through the first 50 people in line who were waiting for the venue to open.
Anyways, I thought the show was fantastic, his voice is very powerful. However I had one criticism. His accoustic guitar sounded too electric, and made many of his riffs sound very harsh (I can't really find a better word). Take a song like Burden of Tomorrow (one of my favs). the recorded version has a soft sounding, muted guitar, which was not apparent on the live version.
Maybe he needs a new amp, or maybe he likes it this way. Maybe I am the one sounding too harsh. I'll still be front and centre for his set at Sasquatch though.

So, Wale is out, and is being replaced by Brad. Somewhat intriguing news.
I wasn't going to be watching Wale anyways, and was undecided between Portugal, The Man and The Middle East. Now I wouldn't mind sitting back and watching Brad as well. The fact is, beyond "the day brings" I had not listened to anything else they put out back in the 90's.
I think when Saturday arrives, i'll do whatever's easiest, however at this point I am mostly leaning towards the Middle East.

Thanks Doumak. Looks perfect to me. I will be highlighting and laminating, because I don;t have an iPhone. They give out schedules at the festival, FYI (or at least they have the last two years I've gone). true, and although the schedules given out at the festival are convenient and collapsible, they are inevitably missing Doumak's added personal touch.......which FYI, is ooh soo soft

This is only speculation but I imagine they put 11:55pm because putting 12:00am or later would have them end on the following day. Perhaps this logistical issue would mess around with their schedule template on the Sched.com website, which lists the bands by day.

Not sure that it's been mentioned yet, but according to the website, Booka Shade and Deadmau5 are playing the "Bigfoot Late" Stage. www.sasquatchfestival.com/#/band/319www.sasquatchfestival.com/#/band/360Now, I was aware that Deadmau5 was playing Bigfoot, and assumingly closing it out opposite MMJ. However, I wasn't aware that Booka Shade was doing the same thing on Sunday, opposite Massive Attack. Furthermore, I wonder what "Bigfoot Late" actually means. i.e. will they be playing later than the Mainstage closing act? Sure hope I can find out sooon....
