Take Me Back NOW.


I just returned from Sasquatch and...
wow.

take me back. Imagine sitting on a hill, watching the sun go down slowly behind water and hilly terrain and your favorite band's music echoing throughout the canyon. I remember turning to my friend Liz and saying, "I feel like i'm looking at a screensaver...". The view was seriously like a dream.

My favorite performances were Passion Pit, The XX, Kid Cudi and MGMT.
Speaking of MGMT...did you know the lead singer, Andrew VanWyngarden, was so dreaaammyyy?? EVERY girl in the crowd was going "holy crap he is sexy...". Take a looksies


I can't even imagine the adrenalin rush the bands must get while looking out into the sea of hippies covering every inch of the hill and dancing like free spirits to their music (and in "free spirits" i mean most people were most likely high or drunk). Every band on the main stage had a moment where they paused, looked out at the crowd and just smiled. They probably were thinking to themselves... "wow, how did I make it here...this is surreal". It was surreal for them, but it was absolutely surreal for me.

Camping was also crucial for the full sasquatch/ music festival experience. Dirty, drunken, shower never and party always group of youth having one massive sleep over- You can see how messy that can get. Everyone is open to make friends with anyone... no exclusions. The porta-potties were pretty nasty but at least they were named something quite endearing: 'Honey Buckets". How cute.

Despite being very last minute, our trip went very smooth... hardly any bumps... at least before Mandie lost her car keys (aka our ride home) while crowd surfing... but that's another story all together.

If you have never been to Sasquatch... GO. You will not regret a single thing.
