I spent Memorial Day weekend with my oldest and dearest friend at the Sasquatch Festival. No, we were not celebrating the rumored beast, but rather enjoying 3 days of live music in the Gorge
Amphitheater in George, Washington. It was an amazing few days! We experienced a full range on weather, one moment huddled under a tarp, and the next smearing on sun block.
The shows we enjoyed were as follows:
Saturday - Fleet Foxes, Beirut,
Ozomatli, The New Pornographers,
Crudo, M.I.A., Modest Mouse, The Breeders, R.E.M
Sunday - 65
DaysOfStatic, Blue Scholars, Cold War Kids,
Tegan & Sara, The Presidents, Mates of State, Michael
Franti & Spearhead, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Cure
Monday - Matt Costa, The Hives, Built to Spill
I was
completely blown away by Blue Scholars and
Crudo. Generally, I'm not a hip hop fan, but both of these groups put on an amazing show!
Tegan & Sara, The Presidents, and The Hives, who I knew a little of each, made me love them all. Great energy!! R.E.M., my all time favorite band, and the sound of my youth, played through the nastiest rain, managing to pull of a terrific show
despite the conditions. And, the Cure, who I've mostly ignored since 1993, played songs dating back to 1978, completely confusing all of the teeny
boppers.
It was a good thing that the music was so amazing, 'cause the conditions were not. We were camping on-site, which we were well
equipped for. However, the advertised showers were hardly sufficient for the thousands of campers. After waiting in line for two hours, we decided that we'd shampoo in the sink and sponge bath our way through the weekend. While I know I took a shower Saturday morning, and one Monday night, I still felt like I had three days without bathing.
Which brings me to the update on the house. The second shower is done, done, done!!! It is fully functioning and lovely. I just installed the shampoo/soap rank thing-a-ma-
bobber.
In tile news, C has indeed been pushed over the edge. He interviewed contractors, and found a guy to install the floor. And, I don't know if I've mentioned it on here, we are putting in radiant heat!
We are getting closer to being truly done, but we aren't there yet.
