Fill ‘er up with music?

After reading countless blog posts about the Sasquatch Music Festival on the Slog I’m completely at peace with my decision to sit this one out. Going to this type of music festival is the equivalent of shopping at at Costco. You get a bunch of cereal and toilet paper at once, sure, but [...]
