Thanks Mango for letting us know the lineup… twice.
On a side note: when I went to Sasquatch! in 2006, get this: I left — ha, ha, ha — before The, err, Flaming Lips were on! Not that I regret it now… no, no… of course not… had to be back home in time for dinner… couldn’t possibly miss dinner.
DON’T JUDGE ME.
