Well this morning Stina left and I took Brou to the airport. Jus' me 'n Dan now. Brou (my high school bestie) came to visit the PNW for the first time and to go to Sasquatch. She basically loved it and we had such a good time. She got to hang out with Stina and Dan and we watched the entire Will Ferrel SNL dvd.
Brou, Dan and I left friday morning to go to PDX to pick up our rented tent from REI. We discovered a small park by REI and had a picnic and watched the hundreds of babies play in the water spouts. We then drove all the way to Yakima WA where we camped at the Yakmia Sportsmans Park. It was not nearly as sketchy as I expected; in fact it was really nice with lots of families. We cooked spaghetti and went to bed.
Saturday we woke up early and drove the rest of the way to SASQUATCH woot! The weather was b-e-a-utiful, but so freaking hot. The festival grounds is on the edge of the gorge and has the most breathtaking view. We saw a lot of bands such as: mos def, passion pit, DENT MAY, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, the decemberists, yeah x3, AA Bondy, bon iver (who was surprisingly good), etc.
The weather has been amazing for about a week now. I'm talking blue sky mid 70s... aka NOT salem. Again, I am surprised. Perhaps this is just Salem's summer, hidden from us students during the year.
Anywho, I miss Stina but it was such an awesome weekend. It was basically a vacation.
Dan's makin trouble in the music dept.
