Off to Portland, then Sasquatch!
We'll be boarding a flight Wednesday afternoon to head out to one of my favorite cities, Portland, OR, for a few days & nights with great friends, then off to the spectacular Gorge Amphitheater for the Sasquatch Music Festival! Yippee!
I'm (hopefully) getting over a nasty head cold just in time. The weather outlook is great, and I'm so damn excited to see people I haven't seen in a while, and to see a whole ton of bands I've never seen before (and a few I have seen). If I had to rank the order of bands I'm most excited to see, it would look something like this:
1. Beastie Boys!!!!!
2. Arcade Fire
3. Spoon
4. Polyphonic Spree
5. Ozomatli
6. Manu Chao
7. Two Gallants
8. The Hold Steady
9. Blackalicious
10. Spearhead
11. Neko Case
12. Bjork
13. The Slip
And the list goes on...
I hope to discover some cool bands, as well. I've listened to songs from nearly every artist present (thank you, MySpace), but it's going to be a bit overwhelming. I'll try and do some moblogging along the way, with some grainy cell phone pictures and commentary, when possible. After I get back, I'll try and write up a detailed review of the festivities.
Say it with me: "FESTIVAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
