pictures and stuff from Sasquatch 2008

[ivankay]

i went to Sasquatch for the first time a few weeks back. Nothing compares to Coachella, but Sasquatch is still pretty damn cool. Main attraction is the Gorge. i was hypnotized by it beauty and just loved sitting near the top of the slope and looking at it as the light changed. At one point i was talking to a "cool person" and they were complaining about the stage and how it had nothing going on "show wise". i pointed out the show was behind the stage. Her response was "oh yeah."

i didn't take too many pictures because i was in vacation mode and hanging with a very excellent friend who would call me out when i was getting obsessive with the camera. 3 parts there will be for Days 1, 2 and 3. Here's part 1:












On the Wookie Stage, Kathleen Edwards.














The Roy Kay Trio








Fleet Foxes


















They got windmills close by too.


The first act i saw day one that elicited an "Ahhhh shit this is goood!" was Crudo. The clip above is a little of "Let's Go" that goes into some beatboxing done by the great Butterscotch.






















M.I.A. with a bunch of friends










Grand Archives




a couple of minutes of "Divine Hammer"


The Breeders




The rain got a little serious.


above is almost 3 minutes of "The One I Love"


R.E.M.















Later tonight, i'm going to add a couple of incomplete clips of the Breeders and R.E.M. to this. Day 2 will happen after i get Part 2 up for Coachella Day 2.

Excellent as always. I was sad to miss Sasquatch this year.

I love that "Sweep the leg" t-shirt.

I like the one 5 pictures down from the video, it looks like sun is shining down from the heavens.

Great pictures, thanks.

Nice pics Ivan. Funny, about 4 or 5 of those look like my pictures lol. I took a shot of the open alcohol sign as well.

I think a lot of us took similar pictures, Mark (everyone has one of the bear - did everyone ask, "Where's the Sasquatch?").

Great pictures as always Mike!

[rage patton]

Yeah for Sasquatch! I love that REM picture where you can see how heavily it was raining.

I love it when this happens with the sky.

Hobby. i just likes to take the pictures. It would be interesting one day to take some time off from obligational employment and go on an "assignment". i'm currently just taking pictures of the things that come up in my life. Although i would not have gone to Stagecoach on my own without the invitation (i really like those pictures a lot...interesting to be in a whole new world).

mike, oh hijack, as usual your pics are great but you should come out to the DNC and take pics .... there are going to be some great ones i am guessing ... i think i am signing on to be some sort of photo person at the protest .... x****

hmmmmm...i wasn't ever imagining going to the DNC, but that would be totally fascinating. That's going to be photographer Mecca during that week. i'm going to Ireland during that time for a family reunion and hopefully a couple of days of The Electric Picnic. Wow, all the sudden i feel like a bad citizen. i can't wait to see your evidence from that week. Wow! Tons of good pictures there.
