Sasquatch Festival

We traveled east to George, WA to attend the seventh annual Sasquatch Festival. Sasquatch Fest takes place over three days at the Gorge Amphitheater, which has been voted the number one outdoor music venue year after year. The main stage is set on the edge of the gorge overlooking the Columbia River.. a phenomenal and surreal sight.



We arrived at 10am Saturday, pitched our tent, and began to enjoy ourselves. Highlights included the Flaming Lips, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, R.E.M., M.I.A., Throw me the Statue, Fleet Foxes and Cave Singers. This year was also the first year they had a comedy tent. Former members of the State, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter, were dead-on hilarious, as well as the Upright Citizens Bridge: ASSSSCAT! featuring former SNL cast members Horatio Sanz and Tim Meadows.











The weather was perfect. Our camping neighbors were super cool. We're just worried if we were to go again, it wouldn't live up to the amazing experience we had this year.

We've been busy.

Springtime in Seattle means less time indoors writing blog entries and more time experiencing real life. That being said, here is a quick look at our spring adventures thus far.

Oats peas beans and barley grow! We are taking full advantage of the communal garden space at our apartment building. (It's communal, but the only people who use it are us and the property manager). We're keeping our fingers crossed for a bountiful harvest of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beans, squash, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and herbs!





Take me out to the ball game... Our excellent neighbors, Mark and Kendal, bought Keith Mariners tickets for his birthday. We were fortunate enough to see one of their precious wins (currently 20-35, and only 12 games out of first place). Don't worry- Keith was still representing the East coast with his raggedy old Mets cap.





I don't think she ever thought the day would come. One of Laura's best friends graced us with her fabulous presence for five nights. Though the hills were a little much for Michele, we were able to prove that Seattle is a pretty all right town. She still wants us to move back to the "awesomer coast", but we're quite happy where we are thankyouverymuch!





Lismore played Seattle on their tour!!


Huma played their first Seattle show on May 9th at the Rendezvous in downtown Seattle. They were asked to open for a Seattle band's record release. Laura shredded it up making her debut on the bass on two songs (there was definitely more concentrating then shredding going on).





The Seattle Cheese Festival, Golden Gardens Park, a bbq at a friend's house, and the University District Street Fair = our first beautiful weekend of spring. Think 70-90s the whole weekend and sunny.





Keith finally met his match.. and Laura can't wait to cut up Mickey for dusting rags!
