Sasquatch 2011 Survival Guide!
hey so check out the full lineup for the Sasquatch Festival this weekend. Crazy right!
If you’re one of the lucky people going, Winnie’s got some tips on making the best of Sasquatch weekend courtesy of guest contributor, and all access correspondent Dolly Compton!
Sasquatch Essentials:
- Pack a flask. They check bags but that’s it. Beers are $10 inside.
- Wear a watch and print your own schedule.
- Bring earplugs – your friends are going to want to dance next to the speakers!
- Don’t wear sandals. Having your feet stepped on sucks. The desert is dusty!
- Bring a jacket in a backpack. It gets COLD at night.
- Outside food is allowed in, so bring chips, trail mix and sammiches for dinner.
- Sealed water bottles are allowed in. There is a water refill station.
Don’t forget to bring:
- a towel
- shampoo
- sunglasses so no one sees your drug eyes
- sunscreen
Sasquatch Survival Tips:
- Pace yourself. There is no re-entry!
- Set up a base camp blanket on the hill as a meeting point
- Have a girl go first when throwin’ bows to the front.
- Bring your cell phone. The best coverage is at the ridge above the main stage.
- If you queue up 30 min before the main stage acts, they let a select number of the crowd into the inner sanctum – closest to the stage and in front of the barriers – where there’s lots of room for dancing!
Make sure to follow Dolly Compton on Twitter and stay up on who ruled and who stunk at this year’s Sasquatch Festival. She’ll have more coverage, photos, and reviews from the 2011 Sasquatch Festival so stay tuned! xo

Wavves over and over
Wavves! Wavves is a lo fi noise punk sound. Wavves splices Caesars on the patio, pineapple and Malibu in the sand then whisky shots at midnight. The most recent full length album, Wavvves**, is filled with unconventional beach songs: Beach Demon, Gun in the Sun, California Goth, Beach Goth. Wavves knows what it’s like to cycle back to East Van from Jericho Beach. Wavves knows what it’s like sitting on the floor waiting for your friend to try on another pair of pants and then ask you about it and nothing’s changed but you continue to be polite so they just hurry up already.
Getting into Wavves at the end of the summer, start of the autumn is perfect. You’re getting mopey goth songs about the beach, so who really wants to go there when it’s raining.
The best thing about Wavves is that they keep releasing new material. Mickey Mouse and Cool Jumper are songs that have taken off from Possum: the whole album experience is behind these tracks and it’s new music on the fourteen track album and it’s just so super.
