Yall. I <3 music festivals. As I always say, they are the only place where I feel like I am 'home.' I get to chill with people who like like me and have similar interests, and I get to see my fave alt celebs performing/spy on them through the security gate.
Feel like I missed out on a lot of meaningful experiences.
I could have beta tested new Am Appy designs with Karen O of the Ya Yea Yeas.

Could have seen some zany bro.
Could have made zany faces while singing meaningful Passion Pit songs

Could have made scary faces while singing with King Of Leon alphabro
Are alt music festivals all going 2 have comedy now? Might watch ADULT SWIM LIVE starring Tim and Eric. I read in a blog that they direct music videos or something.
Could have sang Karaoke with my political science professor/T.A.
Could have made angry faces about TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek about having to play to a crowd of bros even though ur a production genius
Could have talked about music industry issues & channeling ur hurt/anger into transcendent rock anthems with Trent Reznor.
Could have chilled with Kevin ‘Bisexual JokerAlt’ Barnes during a zany OfMonty set
Could have had ‘my junk’ eaten out by a tiger
Just coulda chilled with bros, sat in the sun on a blanket, listening to some sweet, sweet alternative tunes.
Might have also met a tuggle of entry-level girls who were just under-18 who u get drunk & ‘take advantage’ of.
Whenever I miss a music festival within 3000 miles of my own home, am I missing out on one of the most potentially meaningful experiences of my life?

@mateooo, Yeah, I had an emotional goal to go to there too, but it’s looking unlikely. life is fucked up.

i wanted to go to sasquatch, badly! next year maybe..
i like the fact that it’s called sasquatch because i pretty much love bigfoot.
when think sasquatch i think forest. when i think in washington i think forest. it should be taking place next to forest. disappointing wtf

Sasquatch is so authentic that people just go to the campground then come back and act like they had some life changing concert experience

i live in seattle, i could have gone
but its also full of dirty hippies and like, other wack stuff.
“tuggle” as a unit of measure is awesome though

i go erry year to da quatch and always the best weekend of the year. felt like the lineup this year was the best yet, however, i also felt like this year had the most people who pick out their best alt outfits to where and pretend they are there for the music. “lets wear boots in 90 degree weather!” “hey wanna wear a kewl headband that holds my messy hair to my sweaty forehead??” yes. yes i do. better yet, wanna go camping for 3 days and get shit faced, be “chill” and not got to the shows at all???

@Patrick Bateman, everytime I go see a show/festival/zany bro w/a guitar…I just think about how I’d rather be chilling with my closest bros, drinking whiskey on a porch and listening to the band’s mp3, blaring from a BOSE ipod dock…srsly. What’s so great about live music? it’s stuffy, I get thirsty, drinks are expensive (unless you smuggle in some goose).
