The lineup for the 2008 Sasquatch music festival was announced last Monday and GOD does it look awesome. Like, ice-cream-sunday-clouds-parting-waking-up-next-to-zooey-deschanel level awesome. This is going to be SO awesome. Sometimes you look at festival line ups, and you sort of want to go for two of three bands but most of the it is made up of bands you wouldn't mind seeing but wouldn't see by themselves. I would give our collective left hands to see half these bands on their own, let alone in one day, let alone at a venue as beautifully amazing as the gorge.
Here's the lineup, with bands I'd love to see in any context in bold, with exclamations for empshasis.

WTF! that's so much bold! This is the first festival lineup I've ever seen where I'll actually probably have to miss some bands I really want to see other bands I want to see even more. How the hell did they get this lineup? This is going to be the most amazing festival ever. the only question is; will it be better if I don't drink at all? Or if I am super drunk, seeing all my favourite bands with great friends. Here's pictures from the campsite we were at for last years sasquatch, enjoying the magic of wine bongs, because I can't find the pictures I took inside.
*UPDATE* In the time it took me to upload last years pictures (literally six days of trying, way to go google) the basic schedule was released and I am just going the saturday and the monday, but I only really miss rogue wave and dave bazan, and I've seen them both before. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And then god saideth "Holy shit I am tired" and on the seventh day created the wine bong and took down a whole box of chiraz in 15 minutes, and fell asleep in the living room, happy and full of chicken wings.
Chelsea as always, gets nsfw at the drop of a anything.
"hahaha"
"hahahahah drinking hahah woops hahaha"
Then Ashley was all like don't worry, I have a felt pen that is the exact same colour as your shorts, which was amazing.
"hahahahahhaha that's completely ineffective hahahah"
"we are geniuses!"
"Tyler, are you alright?you took that really fast."
"hahahahah yeah hahahh no, no not at all hahahahah"
"hahaha Je suit morte"
" look, I'm Chelsea, howdy howdy howdy"
At that point they had so much sex that they could have sex right in front of us and we wouldn't even notice. I took this picture, and I didn't even notice until just now.
"IT IS STILL HILARIOUS!" "YES IT TOTALLY IS!" (for real, it was still totally funny)
I'm always pretty happy to see Sarah. cause she sells me really good heroin.

One of these things is not like the other. (hint: it is the can of pop.)
This is the tent-ma-hal. It was also heavily featured in our San Francisco Pilgrimage.
This is Paul drawing a penis and boobs on the hot dog buns.
This is me looking unpleasant because it is too sunny, and I have forgotten that I have sunglasses on my head.
