The legendary annual Sasquatch Festival takes place in Washington State this weekend and I'm heading up to check in on the Northwest music scene and get a couple nights under the stars.  I haven't been for a couple of years and although the festival is looking more like Coachella every year, the base idea of showcasing independent musicians, particularly those in the Portland and Seattle music communities, in a gorge-ous setting isn't gone completely.  I'm looking forward to sets from Animal Collective, Of Montreal, The Dodos, Grizzly Bear, M. Ward, and hopefully some new favorites.  There are a few disposable cameras in my suitcase and I'll be bringing evidence of the weekend back to share with the Southerners.
