How come I am already excited for Sasquatch 2009 NW music festival? Maybe because it’s the highlight of my year. It combines all my favorite things: live music, camping, and almost all my friends (if only I could convince Kris and Megan to come). Here is my prediction for 2009′s line up. I’m basing this off of rumors, upcoming northwestern bands, Sasquatch veterans, artists with new albums, and my hopefuls. Some of these are very hopeful, but I can dream right? (You owe me ten imaginary Sasquatch dollars per right guess, fifty if it’s on the right day and one hundred for a headliner.)
SATURDAY

Last year they announced the line up on February 11th through 25th, so we’ll see how I do. You better be going!
I really like that picture! It’s you, Keaton, and Robert!
P.S. I’ll be the grouchy girl in the background cause I am mad that I have to use public restrooms and sleep on the ground.
This sounds pretty darn hopeful still. I love the idea of seeing Ting Tings, fourth of july, los campesinos and Of montreal all on the same day…but cmon…really? Could life ever be that kind? Honestly, if I just got to see Los Campesinos I would be the drunkest, happiest girl at sasquatch. Oh wait, I will be no matter what bands are playing. I LOVE SASQUATCH AND I CANNOT WAIT!
Aaron!!
How much of an unexpected pleasure it is to find that this is you. I, much like you, was excitingly scavenging the web for rumour’s of this years sasquatch line-up, when I stumbled upon your website. You have lot’s of good choices listed, although I have to agree with Melinda that it is a very hopeful list. Hope you and all the Sasquatch Kids are well…I can already hear the chanting…HRD…and waking to sound of Melinda’s three second shotgun’s. See you in May. And say Hi to Melinda, Katie, Caitlin, Keaton, and Robert for Me.
