And this is how it’s done

This video was taken during Washington’s Sasquatch Festival this past Memorial Day Weekend.

My only question: Why didn’t this happen sooner?

I’ve never been to Sasquatch before but I know the setup. If I had gone, I probably would’ve been trying to get down on the floor but if you’re on the hill, like what does that do for you? How much fun could you be having by sitting on that hill watching/listening to the live show from the farthest away you could get?

I applaud this young man for creating such a powerful movement. Wish I could have been there.

It’s the month of music and festivals

Sasquatch. Folk Life. Seattle University’s Quadstock. University of Washington’s free concert on the HUB are all occurring in the month of May.

Seattle’s summer music festivals Capital Hill Block Party and Bumbershoot are releasing more of their lineup during this time.

Therefore, I give you this new header for May.

Sasquatch

I was too caught up in fashion week that I forgot to post this. The lineup was just announced this week! I’ve never really considered going just because 1) the lineup was never something spectacular to me 2) I don’t like making the trek to the Gorge and 3) Camping is not my thing but there is one reason and one reason only for me to go out to the Gorge that Monday. (JUST THAT MONDAY)
