Sasquatch, etc.
So I went to Sasquatch this year at the Gorge in George, Washington. What stoner thought that pairing up? The main stage sits right on the edge of a cliff and has the backdrop of a river cutting through a canyon. The view is almost enough but all the music entices you to stay there for 12 hours straight for two days. However, being out in the middle of nowhere sometimes means you have to stop the show for three hours to wait for heavy winds to pass or that you have to freeze your ass off in order to see the bands at night. I am not going to write much more but everything about Bad Brains is true. Also read Yeti's other summary at BV.

BACK TO NEW YORK
Animal Collective was a good way to start the South Street Seaport concert series. The show was one big jam. After that show I went to The National at Bowery—grown man music. They will also be playing the Seaport on August 17th. Every year that festival seems to be booking bigger bands.
