Sasquatch

[MarkO]

Whatever. Unless I see a contract, I don't give a fuck whatever any poxy promoter tells me is on the bill for any festival.

[rage patton]

I heard that Madness were playing Sasquatch on the Saturday...

In all seriousness... I was thinking about this! They have some older acts like The Cure, REM and Gang of Four... why not grab Madness?

Bitter are we?

I'm pretty sure i'm going to make a strong effort to go to this. The venue looks amazing and last years lineup was pretty decent. Then again I just love Sarah Silverman.

[paulb]

Sarah Silverman? she was a bag of crap last year... only came out twice the entire weekend for like 2min total... host my ass.

[microlovebeat]

this is probably a stupid question but is sasquatch kinda like bonnaroo where you HAVE to camp or are there hotels anywhere near????


EDIT nvm i found the other thread

Go ahead and believe everything people tell you in life if it makes you feel better.

Wait... what?

It sucks about Madness man. I know. I doubt there is anyone here more upset about it. But I don't get what your comment is even suposed to mean.

From what the page shows, she was supposed to simply introduce the headliner. Where was that advertised differently?

No, she was billed as the host, as the Sasquatch site plainly shows. Every time I saw her on stage she appeared to be drunk and not entirely sure what was going on.

[faxman75]

She's a big pothead. I don't think she even likes alcohol. I saw her do standup last year and again, she appeared to be stoned. I still love her despite her not being on "her game".

This year she can simply do the I'm fucking Matt Damon song and I would be happy.

[MarkO]

She didn't even show up on Sunday. They had the other guys come up and cover the mainstage.

Did anyone do the premier camping last year, and if so, is it worth the extra ~$20 a night?

And for the non-premier, showers... are we talking shower trucks with individual stalls and hot water, like Coachella? Or cold water gym room style?

[chiapet]

Oh, and is there re-entry between the campgrounds and festival venue?

[suprefan]

You could check their site and see the faq, I suppose. And Im sure you can go in and out from the camping to the venue, pretty much everyone there is camping so I see no reason Sasquatch would not let you go back to the campground.

[paulb]

nope...they dont let you out....only during the hail storm in 06 they let you...

Yea, I did check their site first, which says no re-entry, but doesn't talk about camping specifically and the page seems very oriented towards non-campers.

I did see the thing about no re-entry into the campground parking once your vehicle leaves.

Your talking 12 showers *total* for the entire campground and it's a shower block with seperate entrances for guys/gals. There might be hot water first thing in the morning but I've never gotten any. It's a disgrace when you consider how much $ they pull in from camping tbh. They have several large tanks behind the shower block that hold the water; I assume it's trucked in as there is no city water up there afaik.

[chiapet]

Holy crap, do you mean like... 12 shower heads? not 12 shower blocks? How is that possible? Maybe I won't camp!

I did the premier camping - a little more room - though it is worth it if you are looking to "claim" some good grassy spots on the rock face, as they bus you over to the grounds and let you in fifteen minutes before everyone else. To my knowledge, I also thing there are some "exclusive" showers for the premiere campers, but they were cold and shitty every time I went to use them. Individual stalls, cold water.

The only downer for us was the dude who camped across from us who had a "pimped" out Honda Civic across from us who played shitty trance music all night on all three nights, and who kept his shitty ground FX lights on... I was honestly surprised that he didn't get stabbed by the end of the weekend.

[rage patton]

Easy solution. Don't shower. Its not like you are camping in the desert for 4 days. You wont smell THAT bad.

See the grey roofed building in the map ? To the right of the basketball court ? THAT is your shower block.

There's running water sinks by all the porta-potties anyway. Just bring a face cloth or a sponge and wipe yourself down if you're feeling filthy. The water is usually at least warm for an hour before the mad rush when people wake up in the mornings.

Update: David Bazan and The Cave Singers.
Possibly Mark Kozelek also (on tour with Bazan).

Is there a Sasquach message board or something?

You're posting in it.

[faxman75]

So they don't have one? That's retarded.

[amyzzz]

Sasquatch sounds too much like crotch. I don't like it.
