Q: What do you get when you mix : a closed shop, 12 hairdressers, 54 bands, 32 degree weather, one RV, one all night Walmart, 8 cases of american beer, and the most beautiful concert venue on earth?
A: The best weekend of our lives
On May 22nd the friendly stylists at lab closed down shop for the US memorial day weekend and set out across america (well washington state at least) to bear witness to the Sasquatch Music Festival located at the Gorge Amphitheater in the po-dunk, can't find it on the map, sneeze and you'll miss it town of George Washington. I'm sure the towns namesake would be rolling in his presidential grave if he lived to see the splendor that is one gas station and two liquor stores. The Sasquatch festival boasts some of the best new talent and already risen stars of the now mainstream independent music scene. This convenient little party of about 40,000 was the backdrop for what turned out to be an epic adventure for the lab team.
Some highlights included :
-Vanessa instigating a "dance-off " with Ian at the over populated Girl Talk show.
-Justine's first ever shotgunned beer and subsequent spraying of that beer all over a stranger 5 feet away.
-Bon Iver's mind blowing performance at the wookie stage
-Matty clinging to the front stage barrier to save himself from 10,000 screaming Gogol Bordello fans.
-Getting almost trampled to death at deadmau5, and then making fun of people who thought that they were there to see " the dead Mau five ".
-Dancing our collective asses off at Chromeo..................I said Chromeo !
-Sporting the warpaint to see Of Montreal.
- The couple caught having sex on the cliff during the Decemberists
- The devastation they called " Honey Buckets".............Kids that ain't honey!
And finally a big heart felt thanks to the Lee Market in Snoqualmie pass. We stopped here for coffee and munchies on the way back to civilization. We highly recommend stopping in there the next time you need; A) a bag of chicken, B) real ninja throwing stars, C) a touch sensitive mystical wizard lamp, D) vintage Ninja Turtle duo-tangs, or E) Patriotic memorabilia of almost any shape or size.
