@Cam/ron: That poster makes me think of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

The reason you should be most interested in this one is that the Gorge, where it takes place, is absolutely beautiful; the backdrop is sometimes more interesting than the show itself.

I love the poster – it brings me back to 1995.

@taylorklong: true dat. the overhead hanging speakers last Sasquatch were a problem when the winds picked up--swaying and swinging HARD during the Polyphonic Spree set. they had to stop the show to fix them, delaying things by a couple hours. I was relieved no one got hurt.

@Michaelangelo Matos: yeah, beacause the sound there isn't as good as the view, unfortunately.

the amusing thing about the Cure headlining is that the last time the Cure were supposed to headline at the Gorge, it was right before the Cure ditched their remaining tour dates because of Smith's family emergency or whatever it was.

@extracrispy: From your lips to god's ears. (About DM, not you shitting yourself, although that's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make.)

Oh wow, R.E.M. and The Cure were my two favorite bands growing up. I never expected to see them on the same billing. If Depeche Mode was playing that fest too, I might actually shit myself.
