some sasquatch details

I haven't been in much of a blogging mood for the past couple of days. 

My top retainer cracked, so I have an appointment with an orthodontist in Lake Oswego tomorrow morning to get a new one. 

I got a sweet video message from River and Mason today.

I took a long nap, watched Gilmore Girls, did laundry and taught a yoga class today. It was a relaxing day. I also got really hot and sweaty on the elliptical before I taught my class. I always turn the resistance up really high so I can sculpt sexy legs and it helps me in spinning class, too.

I'm about to eat an eggroll.

Sasquatch was so amazing. I can't wait to go again next year. People were passing out (from dehydration? too drunk? too high? who knows?). People were passing around joints, doing lines out of aluminum foil, all kinds of craziness. I had some beers in the car on the way (while Keith was driving) but immediately lost my buzz once I got in the sun. I hate that! I don't know how anyone can drink in the hot sun. No wonder people were passing out! Somehow we managed to get front and center for all three of our favorite bands. Jane's Addiction went on last, and after their first few songs Keith and I went to sit down and get some water. It had gotten pretty cold out, but we were hot because we were in the middle of all these disgusting hot sweaty people. I was about to vomit because I was grossed out. I was sick of marijuana smoke being blown in my face and I really needed some fresh air and water. In the 15 minutes we were standing up front, I managed to fall in love with Dave Navarro. I can't believe how old that band is. They got started in 1984. Perry Farrell asked if there was anyone in the crowd born after 1984 and of course there were tons. They were so ahead of their time back then. I don't like Jane Says and I really don't like Been Caught Stealing, but compared to the rest of the music being made around that time, they were amazing! It's hard to believe how old these guys are! Trent Reznor is now 44, Dave Navarro is 42, Perry Farrell is 50. Fifty!! He said when he dies he doesn't need the white lights and the harp, he just wants rock and roll! I loved it. He was really weird though. He should be a poster boy for a "this is your brain on drugs" campaign. He also said, "Don't anybody throw any shoes or even panties at me! If you're going to throw something at me, it better be fucking drugs!" I read on wikipedia today that he has two young sons. How cool it must be to have Perry Farrell as your dad! And at the end of their set, he said, "Juana's Adiccion" which just really made my night. 

Murder City Devils also played, and their lead singer was high, drunk, crazy, or maybe all three. He kept talking about faggots and dicks and told all the "straights" to turn around and not watch him. And he went on rants like this for like 5 minutes between each song. At first, Keith and I were really confused because we couldn't tell if he was gay-bashing or straight-bashing, but he was definitely doing one of the two! In the end, I concluded that he probably was gay and was not gay-bashing at all, but it still sounded that way and I didn't really like it. Speaking of that, what's up with California?!?! Unbelievable.

There was a girl there wearing nothing but a bra and underwear and a pink tutu. That will be me next year. It was the coolest outfit ever. 

When it came time for bed I really wanted to drive home, but it was too late and the drive was too far. I brought a roll of toilet paper so I decided to pee right beside the car. A guy sitting by his campfire saw it. Oops. It's Sasquatch, who cares? It was crazy because it was so hot during the day, and it got so cold at night! We brought blankets and pillows and socks but I was still freezing. The car wasn't that comfortable, but it's good to know that that's an option if we ever need it again. We folded the back seat down and made a little bed. We aren't very big people so we totally fit. Next time I will put more blankets down though to make it softer. We woke up at 5:30 the next morning and drove home. There is practically no night out here in the summer. It gets dark at like 10 and it's bright by 5. So weird! 

That eggroll was good. I think I'll have another!
