The Sasquatch! Festival organizers were so excited about what they do that they named the festival with an exclamation point. Sasquatch! Sounds good, no? Action packed! Now with more Sasquatch! added!
So here's the skinny on the 2008 festival: the dates are May 24th through the 26th, which comes as no shock as the festival has always been on Memorial Day weekend and that happens to be Memorial Day weekend for this year.
They've created a podcast! Working in conjunction with KEXP in Seattle, Sasquatch organizers have made a podcast with information on the festival and music from the bands playing at the festival
Sasquatch! organizers were probably watching Al Gore's PowerPoint show when they made a decision to go carbon neutral for the 2007 festival. They bought enough carbon credits through Sustainable Energy Partners to cancel out the CO2 emissions. Doesn't that make you feel like a slimy festival goer? While you're there, you're eminating CO2 emissions.
