In case you didn't realize it, summer is fast approaching. Some of you in the northeast are calling bullshit right now, but I swear it's the truth. Want proof? Everyone's announcing the line-ups for the plethora of summer festivals soon to be coming your way. So here's the line-up for the one festival that's not absolutely guaranteed to be Death Valley hot: Sasquatch! in the lovely green state of Washington.
Not only is it going to be green over Memorial Day weekend, but the festival itself will be green, as the organizers behind it have decided to make the festival carbon neutral. Sweet, huh?
Will your favorite band be there? Maybe. Will comedians be hosting it? Definitely. Will you get laid? Honestly dude, I don't want to know the answer. Check the line-up below, and listen to the podcast that the good folks over at Seattle's KEXP put together here.
