We’re going to Sasquatch festival on Monday. We’ve seen modest mouse and REM years ago. They rock!
We’ll be seeing Flaming Lips, Flight of the Concords, the Hives…and lots more. Next year you should plan on coming to one of the days and stay with us, we live about an hour from the concert site.(: They also have camping so you can bring a tent and stay at the site.(:
DOH
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Michelle- you rule! Sasquatch fest ’09 here we come!!! Have fun!
