Two of the best festivals in Washington happen on the same weekend every year, and it tears me to pieces that I can't attend both. Or can I?
I had a press pass for the entire weekend at Sasquatch, but tickets were sold out (and $300 on Craigslist) by the time they told me I had received them. After a few kinks in the road (school stuff of course), I am still tentatively planning on attending tomorrow. Maybe today and Monday will be dedicated to Folklife. Afterall, that event IS free...
Bands playing today:
My Morning Jacket / Vampire Weekend / The National / Deadmau5 / Broken Social Scene / OK Go / Brad / The Hold Steady / Miike Snow / Z-Trip / Brother Ali / Minus The Bear / WHY? / The Very Best / Portugal. The Man / Mumford & Sons / The Lonely Forest / Nurses / The Middle East / Patrick Watson / Morning Teleportation / Laura Marling / Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros / Fool's Gold / Garfunkel & Oates / Dam-Funk / Shabazz Palaces / Moshe Kasher / The Posies / Brent Weinback / Patton Oswalt / Dawes / Nada Surf
Who else is going to either of these events?! Even though Seattle's a little dreary right now, it should be a good time.
