I took a look at the tour. I was super excited to see they would be in the area... but NOT super excited to see they would be touring with Paramour. :(

Eh, Paramore is alright... but I've been a fan of No Doubt since I was 11! Brings back so many memories!

I knoooooow. It's actually 3 days, like Coachella, but way more awesome. Camping is involved. Tickets are pricey, though ( ... )

way more awesome indeed.

EEEEEHHH!!! I'm so jealous! I love the Gorge.

It'll be my first time there! I'm so excited!

At that venue, I've seen:

Not by choice:
*John Mellencamp
*Sting
*the Vans Warped Tour (the year Marilyn Manson and the Red Hot Chili Peppers played - although the RHCP were by far my favorite)
*Bruce Springsteen

By choice:
*Sasquatch the year Coldplay was the headliner, with opening band the Flaming Lips. That was the same year Maroon 5 debuted in the lineup, along with some other numerically-oriented band that was more akin to rap, and Outkast was there as well, although I didn't pay attention because they hadn't yet made Hey Ya. Additionally, Gwyneth Paltrow made an appearance, since at that time she had just started dating Chris Martin. My then-boyfriend yelled at her from a mere 20 feet away, "Hey, Gwyneth!!!!!!"
*the Dave, three times. Once working the concession stand, twice as a paying customer.

It's a three day festival with lots of folky and indie bands with camping involved... I wouldn't be surprised if I DID confuse some hippy hipsters as sasquatchi? Sasquatches? Sasquai?

Sasquatchen. You'd see them coming for miles; there're no trees or rocks or hedges to hide behind. Although there ARE grapevines.
