Comments: I don't know what the 1oz. Mag Force version of this lure did to bass and pike, but I haven't met one of those fish yet that didn't want to absolutely murder this thing. Cast it out, let it sink and then rip back to you. It doesn't matter what the water temp is. They CRUSH it! Got largemouth and pike today at a surface temp of 79 and I've caught them right up to ice up in December. These lures are tough as nails and the hooks sharpen well and are very strong. Yes, the finish chips off easily but the fish don't care one bit. TW, please see if you can carry more of the larger 1oz. size.

Comments: Tried and true, it's still the one of the best lipless crank baits out on the market. Newer colors were released and man that Swamp Craw is the ticket right now!! Thanks for a great product.
From: Chad: Pineville, LA 2/10/17
Comments: Just returned from Canada and Rat-L-Trap is one of my new favorites. I hadn't used them much in past years but tried Apricot and Fire Tiger colors this year and the Pike and Bass loved them. Easy to fish and proved to be very productive when other lures were failing. I think the vibration and rattle noise helps a lot, especially on days when we were fishing in stained or muddy water.
From: Dave: Douglassville, PA 6/1/14
Comments: There are hundreds of different lipless crankbaits on the market today but my opinion this is the best lipless crankbait. It's not the cheapest and it's not the most expensive but it works! Anybody can catch fish on this bait whether a beginner, kid, lady, and even professionals it doesn't matter. This bait really works with great success!
From: Mike: Oneonta, AL US
Comments: Hands down the best lipless crankbait on the market. Very durable and tough bait as well. I caught buckets of fish in 1 day off of a single gold color trap. By the end of the day the bait was covered in battle scars and still cranking strong and catching fish. I cant recommend and brag on this lure enough. Highly recommend this lure.
From: Wes: OK
Comments: You cant beat this lure.This is the best lipless crankbait on the market. Caught 10 bass in one day on the Gold color and although the lure had many battle scars, it was still doing the trick. The trebles on this bait are super sharp and I hooked everthing that bit without losing any. I cant brag/recommend this lure enough.
From: Wes: OK
Comments: This is an excellent lure for fresh and salt water. Weather you are an avid fisherman, or a beginner, this is one of the easiest lures to work, and it catches more fish.
From: Sean: Santa Fe, TX USA
Comments: This is a great product. Used it 3 straight days while catching 10+ fish with this single lure and it held up amazing, granted my lure has plenty of battle scars I will continue to ware it out. I highly recommend this lure to anyone in the market for a solid lipless crankbait. I will continue to fling this grade A lure out and keep reelin em in.
From: Wes: OK
Comments: I've been using this product all my life. It's by far the best search bait there is. The best part about this lure is its very easy to use. I simply throw it out and reel it in. It works all year round. My personal favorite color is chrome and black in the 1/2 oz size! That is pure poison and matches great to what most fish feed on. It works great in freshwater and saltwater! There are a lot of different brands out there and it can confuse a fisherman but the Bill Lewis is the best in my opinion! They have been around the longest and have a unique rattle that really triggers the strike! This brand is a must have in your boat! And the prices are great! I can afford to buy several and not just one or two.
From: Lance: Liberty, Tx, USA
Comments: The Rat- L- Trap is the most genuine and oldest lure in the world. I have been using the Trap Lure for over 30 years and it has never let me down. When it comes to confidence this is the lure to build your belief in. The ease of casting, the colors that's available for different species of fish and the awesome sharpest you can find on a lipless crankbait. You must have in your tackle arsenal. Get some NOW!!!!!!!!
From: Elvis: Jeanerette, Louisiana
Comments: 2 months ago I was fishing a tournament on the upper Chesapeak bay, MD (Largemouth Heaven). The pattern was Ripping traps out of the grass to draw strikes. I had a non boater on the back of my boat who was taking me to school. I asked him what the secret was and his answer(Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap). I cut off the hard bait I was using and switched. Needless to say I filled the boat. Glad I had a few in the box! 1/2 oz crome blue back was the ticket.
From: Mike: Gloucester, Nj
Comments: Love this Lure! The Toledo Gold in 1/2 oz is great to fish anywhere in any type of water. Fish in and around grass and/or weed beds, work this bait in shallow water or deep water around stumps or lay downs. This bait can be literally thrown anywhere and it just catches fish!! No super skilled techniques and can be casted a mile.
From: Trey: Greenwell Springs,La United States
Comments: AMAZING lure! Sexy west works great any of these lures slay fish! Every tourney this lure helps me bring in my limit!
From: Cole: Bloomington Indiana
Comments: As a professional guide on Millwood Lake in sw Arkansas for over 22 years, this is the bait we tie on for folks who just want to "get out there and catch fish". Hands down, best there is. Because our water clarity can change colors in 30 minutes with high winds or thunderstorms, we carry a plano box full of these for the varying conditions. All you really need is about 4-6 in 1/2 oz size for clear water fast retrieves, and 6-8 in 3/4 oz size for muddy water slow retrieves. We keep 3 rods w/ 3 sizes or colors on deck at all times. Toledo Gold, Red Shad, and Millwood Magic aka, Silverado will get you bit under most all conditions. There is no equal.
From: Millwood Lake Guide Service: Millwood Lake, Ar, USA
Comments: Fantastic lure, and fantastic company. The new hook and rattle design for this lure shows the hard work and dedication this company has to their product line. This lure has produced fish for years and is only getting better with the new colors and designs that have been added. This is a lure that can produce some great fishing all over the country and in all different types of cover. I have been a profesional fishing guide for over 8 yrs and also have been using Bill Lewis Lures since the 70's and the fish catching ability of their lures just will not let up. Bottom line is they work. Great Lure, Great Company, and Great Fishing. Mike Carter www.anglingadventures.info
From: Mike: Flat Rock, Al.
Comments: Awesome crank bait especially in cooler weather around Febuary and March. I like the versatility of it. Can be retrieved fast or slow according to water depth. Also u can burn it really fast along shallows creating reaction strikes. Bass love it.red colors are my favorite overall and shad colors with chrome are great choices for schooling fish!
From: Shannon: Whiteville,NC
Comments: Rat-L-Trap set the original standard for what today is referred to as â•ÂË›liplessâ•Âˇ crank baits. As a professional guide, if I could only have three lures in my tackle box, a Rat-L-Trap would be one of them. Itâ•ÂË™s such a versatile bait that can be fished so many ways and catch so many different species of fish. Rat-L-Trap makes a size and color for every possible scenario. A Rat-L-Trap is always tied on one of my rods.
From: Capt. Greg: Huxley, Tx USA
Comments: I have been using the Rat-L-Trap brand since the early 90's and the work great. In the spring a 1/2oz model is my 1st choice and something in a crawfish pattern or reds. I have grown to like the new Toledo Gold a lot. You can not beat a 1/4oz in the Fall. Any of the chromes are great.
From: Chris: Conway SC
Comments: If you are looking for a pro recommended search bait or a bait for feeding bass this is what they are talking about. So many times we read about a "lipless" Crank. This is it. This is the bait that started the craze. There are countless copies but the RAT-L-TRAP is the legit Original. Whether I am tournament fishing or going out for fun this is the bait I have tied on. I can get dialed in on fish when I have never been to a lake. If I am having trouble catching them, I start throwing my trap. When fish are busting, I can toss the trap in the middle and hang on. You can reel it fast, ripping through grass, or reel let it drop and reel. Its a very versatile bait and one you would be remiss to be without.
From: Jon: Chantilly VA
Comments: Rat-L-Trap is the best lipless crankbait on the market that money can buy! The Rat-L-Trap comes in several different models and sizes to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt waters. With a huge assortment of color variations, it will accommodate any angler's need for any situation. As a tournament angler myself, this is my go to bait and is always tied on for every tournament I fish. Whether you are a tournament veteran or just enjoy catching more fish, every angler needs a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in their tackle box.
From: Kyle: Paducah, KY USA
Comments: Amazing bait! My favorite color is the Chrome Blue Back. Great for bass, walleye, pike and even crappie with the smaller sizes. Perfect for fall and early spring.
From: Gabe: Ohio
Comments: I got taken to school by my buddy this spring on our favorite pond with this bait. I was fishing a different brand in as identical of a color as you could get. I hadn't caught anything until he let me throw his bait, immediately got a 5lber on. Sorry meatwad. It kicks many of the modernized baits butts.
From: David: Raymore, MO
Comments: CAUTION: If you love this bait, I am about to hurt your feelings. Probably. So if you are sensitive, stop reading. Now, for all you real men...if you are a lipless crank fan, you have a box full of em. I do. Hell, I have a box for 1/4oz and a box for 1/2oz and +. These used to be my go to, along with the Cordells. Now a days, there are TONS of better traps out there. In no way, shape or for does this bait compare to the more modern baits. Sure, if it's a chunk and wind kinda bite, you will catch some on this one, but for the more advanced ways of fishing, this one doesn;t cut it no mo'.
From: meatwad: givin these to people I dont like
Comments: This is my #1 crankbait bass love it chrome blue back is the best color, I caught the biggest bass of my life with it,it weight 5 pounds and if a 11 year old can do it anyone can!
From: Gavin: North Canton, OH
Comments: Awesome cold water bait, works well both spring and fall. I throw the chrome/blue back most of the time, and mine is completely chipped and bite marked. Still works like a charm! My friend even caught a 30ish inch musky on one this spring!
From: Ryan
Comments: love mine caught a 9 lb on it other day cheap love em
Comments: Good redfish bait, caught many puppy reds of texas, also great summer bait for largemouth and all species your going for this season, its good old bait that works and is classic bait. Keep making better colors for classics and same shape with sound. Good days of fishing is ahead for us all.
From: Alex
Comments: The best redfish bait EVER and it is very good for bass.It is great in the summer because it dives very deep
From: Matt: Port Barre, LA
Comments: great bait i went to a local lake on the 3rd of december and caught nine good bass!!! i used to fish this alot and caught some huge fish but on that day this bait really shined it was the only lure that caught any fish!!!!!!!!! the water was ice cold and it still got good bass to bite!!! forever a costomer of these.
Comments: I can't even count the numbers of fish I have caught on the good old Rat-L-Trap! From largemouth to smallmouth to sandbass to walleye, they've killed this bait... I don't even look at other rattlebaits - Bill Lewis is MY brand! I only use two colors - a shad pattern and firetiger. Tie it on & wear the paint off!
From: Tony: Charlotte, NC
Comments: It is those seemingly simple baits that are the consistent producers of big fish. I hooked (and landed) some of the biggest fish in my life (including bass, trout, perch, and even a Stealhead on the Red Chrome color) on Rat-L-Traps. I use an erratic retrieve, often varying the motions with my rod to get the most out of the rattles. Yo-Yo-ing the bait through my lake will produce when fish are both lethargic or active. I tend to focus more on presentation than lure colors in fishing, but I use more natural colored baits (I really like the "bleeding" series). It is important to get a good hookset immediately though, because Rat-L-Traps are notorious for getting spitted back at you.
From: Joe: International
Comments: Best lipless crank around! I fish these baits year round. I have used alot of other brands and none out fish the original! Great fish finding lure I have caugt some hogs of this bait. The red traps are my favorite color. Cant beat them try one and youl love them!
Comments: Oldie but a goodie. Still tough for me to beat this in cold water as well as when you have some water over top of emergent weed beds.
From: Brian: Quincy, MA

But, unless you're planning to organize a revolt against an authoritarian regime, there are some limits to your social media activities you might want to consider — say, if you have something more mundane in mind, like finding a new job. Here are some ideas to help you walk the straight and narrow and avoid regrettable steps on the pathway to social networking nirvana:
Facebook and Twitter. The simplest rule to follow is this: If you don't want to be perceived as outrageous, don't post anything outrageous or in poor taste. If you do want to let it all hang out, be sure to set your Facebook privacy settings so that only your most trusted friends can see you strut your stuff. Otherwise, prospective employers (or potential romantic liaisons) might be put off by off-color comments or tales of intemperate exploits. If you submit a resume for a job, the HR department is bound to check out your online I.D. If need be, clean up your act before it's too late! And even if you like your present gig and don't want to make a change, keep in mind that your current employer may also check in to see what you're up to after hours. Just think of Ashley Johnson, the Charlotte, North Carolina, pizza waitress who lost her job after her manager saw her status update grousing about a substandard-tipping cheapskate who also happened to be a regular customer. According to the charlotteobserver.com, "She's not the first Facebook user to get in trouble with the boss over inappropriate comments or pictures on their pages."
Of course, the same warning holds true for Twitter, Google, Yahoo, YouTube, and other social hangouts. According to switched.com, some 63 percent of HR recruiters check into the social networking sites of job applicants, and seven out of ten have rejected potential hires due to activities discovered.
Here are some things to consider when creating your online profiles:
Profile Pictures. Use one (fully clothed, please). Preferably a headshot. If employment is an objective, make it a serious, professional photo.
Settings. When possible ratchet your privacy settings to allow only trusted friends to access personal information or photos that don't put your best face forward.
Personal Information. Restrict access on a "need-to-know" basis. If your access is on the open-ended side of things, think twice before "liking" groups or joining causes that might be construed as controversial or bizarre (e.g., Ex-Cannibals Alliance).
Your Window to the World. Keep your status updates and Tweets safe and sane if you're job hunting (or even if not). Clean up and remove old posts that might be incriminating. And remember, when all else fails — or if you have boisterous friends who might make you look bad — you can always disable your Facebook Wall until you're safely employed or tenured.
Your Afterlife Online. Not to get morbid, but know this: Us humans do not (yet) enjoy eternal life, but your online identity might last an eternity — unless someone steps in.
Since you'll no longer be looking for work, you might wish to go offline. Just be sure that someone who cares has your user name and password so he or she can log into your Facebook account settings and trigger the 14-day account-deletion waiting period. If nobody logs in for 14 days, the account will be removed. Alternatively, upon request Facebook will freeze an account and allow friends and family to set it up as a lasting memorial.
LinkedIn. For starters, make sure you only have one profile. Sometimes people start a profile under one name or email address, abandon it for lack of need or interest, and then come back years later prompted by a career move to revisit the LinkedIn experience. Starting anew, one might forget to obliterate the old, which can confuse potential employers and contacts. And speaking of contacts, get as many as you can. The larger your universe, the greater your exposure to new opportunities. Other LinkedIn basics to ponder include:
Your Profile. Complete it (100%) and keep it up to date. Refresh your information and status regularly because many of your contacts will receive email updates noting new activities in their network. It's a good way to keep you "top-of-mind" with your LinkedIn colleagues. Also, be sure to include a good, professional headshot, preferably one that you use on other sites such as Facebook, Twitter, et. al. (just like in advertising, repetition is a good way to increase brand awareness — and you're the brand!).
Skills. Highlighting Skills and Specialties gives potential employers a fuller picture of your unique capabilities, and, the keywords you use also attract automated systems that scan for desired traits.
Recommendations. Of course, the more the merrier. Solicit them from former colleagues and employers as appropriate.
Connecting. Make it easy for colleagues and employers to contact you through multiple channels. Include your email, phone, personal website, blog, IM, VoIP — whatever it takes. Add your LinkedIn public URL to your email signature line when in job-searching mode. If applicable, link to status updates from Twitter, Yahoo!, Buzz, and other linkable sites.
Google, Blogs, Comments, and More. Again, if you want be provocative or outspoken, but not necessarily held accountable, use a nom de pixel or go anonymous when commenting on blogs or news sites or setting up a YouTube channel. The number one research tool for hiring managers is still one of the oldest: the search engine. Whether it's Google, Bing, or Yahoo!, search for yourself from time to time to see what you can turn up. If any inaccuracies are found, try to clear them up at the source (for instance, if an old job is still listing you as one of their key players, ask them to take you off the website). Also, you'd be surprised to learn how many people out there might share your name. If worse comes to worst, you can always try to pin inappropriate online behavior on a namesake doppelganger.

Questions, Questions, Questions
I do have a question. Do you feel overwhelmed by all this attention you are receiving? Do you feel "invaded" at times by all these people hounding you for writing a book, sitcom writing, etc.? Just wondering how you balance it all out and still feel sane.
First of all, I never claimed to be sane. I have to admit it was really overwhelming at first. I mean, it's not everyday you get an email from Harpo Productions in your inbox. When I was doing a couple radio interviews a week, it was a bit nervewracking, but I finally put it in perspective - I have six kids. You can't scare me!
Before this happened, I'd been spending a lot of time praying that God would somehow turn around our financial situation and show me a way I could help out with bills. Now I spend a lot of time praying, saying, "Umm are you sure about this God? Do you really want me to do all this? Maybe you could just let me win the Lotto instead?" In all honesty, I think things happen for a reason and although it's really hard to fathom why at times, I'm just trusting that things will work out somehow.
Okay, aside from feeling a tad bit jealous that you are pulling in $4000 a month just from ads, I am wowed at your level of energy. I have half the children you do and a quarter of your energy!!
Oh how I wish I was pulling in $4000 a month. I did make almost that much one month, but it was an isolated thing. As far as energy goes - it isn't energy. It's coffee.
Hi Dawn, I loved your interview. You did not look as bad as you said you did.
Ummm thanks? LOL!
I was wondering how many vacuums you go through? Or if by chance you have any pets? Other then squirrels and critters. A dog makes a great vacuum!
We used to have a dog, but don't have any pets right now. My middle son begs for a dog every day. He's one of those kids who gets stuck on an idea and doesn't drop it. Ever. I think we'll probably get another dog at some point, but not quite yet. It's a trade-off, you know. Dog hair, no crumbs on the floor. Dog hair, no crumbs. Dog hair all over the place, no crumbs. Hmmm, I need to think about this some more.
I thought this was great, Dawn. You come across as such a warm person. You also come across as someone who is totally unflappable, even though that's hard to pull off with little ones running around.
Ahh yes, that's me. Completely unflappable. Yep! Yessiree. I never lose my temper and scream like a lunatic at my kids who have been burping at the dinner table and kicking each other's chairs and blowing bubbles in their milk. Nope, you'll never see me do anything like that.
Do I really get to be first? Thank you for posting the video. It took me long enough to find it on the ABC site.
Umm no. You're not first. Sorry.
This part cracked me up, said by the reporter...something like, "Moms today are turning to other moms for advice rather than the experts."
Ha! "the experts"....
How can they not get it?
Other moms ARE the experts!
I love the segment, and think you kept it real. Thanks for sharing it!
When is the book coming out, and have you picked a title yet?
I should know more details about the book in the next few weeks. Right now the working title is Because I Said So but that could change. If you want to get news on my book, you can sign up for updates to the right -----> I haven't sent out any updates as of yet because there hasn't really been anything to talk about. As soon as I sign with a publisher, I'll let you know.
FYI, with regards to your posts that you are holding back for your book... is this something that your editor is requiring (anything for the book shouldn't be on your site)? If not, please consider putting some of them on your blog, even if in condensed form and not all of them. I miss hearing some of the hi-jinx, and I can promise you that it won't keep me from reading your book!
Well, there's a fine line there. I am using some material from my blog and expanding on it, making it into an actual chapter. I really don't want anyone to buy my book and say, "Hey, I've already read all this stuff! What a rip-off!" There will be more new stuff than blog stuff in the book.
So if you are saving all the good stuff for the book what are we supposed to read about now? I can't wait for some book! My 4 year old son learns his sense of immediate gratification from me!
Patience, Young Jedi.
It still blows my mind that you get so many hits.
You and me both!
Just a thought...
People read your blog for the long stories about your hectic life. If you discontinue sharing such stories, fewer people will read your blog, and thus, fewer people will purchase your book.
Oh! What a great idea! So I can take care of six children, a husband, and my house. I can do the laundry, cleaning, shopping, cooking, homework checking, Sunday school teaching, and dishes. I can write an additional 20,000 words this month for the publisher, I can review products and websites from work-at-home moms and write up reviews on Mamaslike, and I can come up with long, funny stories for you to read every day. Sounds like a plan!

Hi Dawn,
Would you believe that I immediately showed the news/video to my husband when he arrived this afternoon from work? My energy went high that I finished two article for my future post..,.hehehe
Anyway, it's true that you weren't that bad looking as you said in your previous post. Honestly, I smiled when I saw you with casual top & jeans and (seems) no make-up as well, such a pretty cool mom.
- November 13, 2007 at 10:12 PM
Dawn, you are doing a GREAT job! Continue to keep your faith in God and your family centered around him and the rest will fall into place. Love the Blog...can't wait for the book! - E

Argh! I wrote out this nice long comment and it didn't go thru!
So I will paraphrase....
You deserve all of this that has been given to you.
We will keep reading - we are your "groupies" and we love you!
Your praying for what to do is awesome. I hope I can find my direction soon as well. :)
Keep up the great work - you are an inspiration to many.
Bless you!

Dawn, loved the last one. You're not here to cater to *us*. This is YOUR blog not ours. Write whatever you want, however long you want (or not!).
(Ducking from the tomatoes LOL)
- November 14, 2007 at 12:02 AM
One of the funniest things to me is that everyone is always seeking that coveted prize of being first to comment on your site. We sound worse than your kids (I get the front seat! No, I was here first! No way - I was!)
I laugh every time I see that comment (though secretly wondering if I ever will attain this "holy grail" myself!)
You're great - KR

- ck said...
Dawn...I love you.
Plain and simple, from one mom to another (granted you're two kids up on me), I love you.
I especially love your sarcasm and sense of the ridiculous. Don't ever change.
And might I suggest a topic, if not for your blog, then for your book?
I'd love to hear some good old fashioned pregnancy/birth stories. For instance, you know the stereotype of the father being all excited for the birth of their child and rushing about, hurrying the mom to be to the hospital at the first drop of amniotic fluid or cramp that could possibly be a labor pain? Not my hubby. Kid #1, he told me to go ahead, he'd catch a cab to the hospital after he caught Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Kid #2, he wanted me to wait until he set the computer up to defrag while we were at the hospital. Kid #3, he just plain didn't believe me that I was in actual labor and actually said to me as we are (finally) waddling up to the hospital entrance, "You're just doing this because its a playoff day." (I was 9 cm dillated) and #4, he didn't want to wake up and get all the other kids ready to drop off at the sitter's. So I gave birth in the parking lot of the 7-11 we stopped at because he had to have a Red Bull.
In all other respects he's a good hubby though! I'd love to hear your funny birth stories so I can feel I'm not alone!

I love your blog! You make me laugh everytime and hopefully I will have time to read your book when it comes out! Could you make it in audio too so I can listen in the car when my tots fall asleep!
God obviously has big plans for you and I can't wait to see how it all turns out. What a journey, huh?

Though a trip to the USA to buy it sounds good to me. LOL
Best wishes to you and yours from across the pond.

Hey Dawn, I thought you did great! It was great to see that you are a real person, doing real things, with real kids! I have only just stumbled upon your blog and it is wonderful.. we have 4 girls and 3 boys and I can't imagine how you even have the time to blog! God Bless you and the coffee you drink!

Hi Dawn. Just a comment for your dog-problem. Today you can get at allergy-friendly dog that dosen´t lose their fur all over the place. Not to help your son get his wish, but to tell you that it is possible to get that vaccum without the fur. It´s not like they don´t have fur (no bald dogs here) but they just dont lose what they have - i like to call them easy-dogs.

Go, Dawn! And - you do know that you don't owe anyone answers.
Reading your blog is a bit like watching a TV hospital drama series - looks glam, sounds fabulous, and the pressure I presume is involved makes me feel happy to have my own very non-glam job and lifestyle.
- November 14, 2007 at 4:22 AM
Hey Dawn,
Just keep doing what you are doing! You are an incredible woman to juggle as much as you do. It's one of the many gifts God has given you, and you are using those gifts very well! I think it is okay to show a hint of sarcasm once in a while; we all do it.
Best of luck and God Bless!

You probably have gotten a thousand and one offers of a dog for your son, but I have THE dog for him. He is a one year old black lab. He has more energy than your whole family (I would bet, anyway), and he would keep your son (and the other five kids) too pooped out to be getting into things. Gomer is really a smart dog, but he's going at 110 mph or he's asleep. He has no calm level.
I love your blog and I look forward to your book!

I *loved* the Q&A! Thanks!!
I'm not sure I totally understood that last one, though. . . I had to read it a few times, and still . . .
Was someome trying to rip on you?
From what I've seen/read of you thus far, I think you are an AMAZING woman and mom and full of so much creativity. Keep up the great work. :-)
In regards to the coffee, I think I need to switch to your brand ;-)
- November 14, 2007 at 6:47 AM
Sounding a bit overwhelmed. I'm sorry some people are getting so critical, tell you you what you "should" be doing.
You keep doing what you think is right. It will be the right thing 9 out of 10 times.
I'd take those odds.

Dawn- I love the fact that you aren't shy to talk about your faith in God. I am glad that you went on tv doing household, everyday things, I think if I had watched and you were the "desperate housewife" type, I would have been disappointed. It's nice to know there are other tshirt wearing realistic moms! Love your product reviews too, thanks!

Hi Again Dawn, Loved that you posted the answer to my Dog-vacume question! I loved what you said about the hair-crumb issue. I had a brown Dalmation and it didn't matter what colour outfit your wearing. The white/brown hairs would show. I had to put her to sleep last week and as I feel now I think I would rather have the hairs instead of the crumbs.

Hi Dawn, I've been a reader since the ebay listing days. I guess you could say "long time reader; first time commenter" :) Anyways, I just wanted to say how much I love the Mamaslike blog! I don't have kids (yet), but still enjoy going there daily to see the newest review from REAL people! And for the most part, about things that I never would have known existed. I just yesterday purchased the 'My Family Meal Planner for 2', to make my life easier.
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome blogs that can make me smile on the worst of days and great reviews!!

BOY DID I MAKE A MISTAKE..... when I left a post last night I hit the button that sends me all the post that are left on your blog. I don't think I have ever had so much email in one day.
Well I have followed suit and started my own blog send some people over I have only had one hit and that is just terrible.
Do you mind if I put a link in my blog to your blog the one person that reads it may need more entertainment.
Who cares what other people say noone ask them to visit your blog anyway!!! If they don't like it stop reading.....

- November 14, 2007 at 8:42 AM
Dawn, You remain an encouragement to me every day! It is refreshing to hear someone actually talk about the parts of motherhood that we all experience. I get so tired of hearing all these "perfect moms, perfect kid" type stories that seem designed to make the rest of us feel like we aren't doing something (or everything) right.
Keep up the great work! There are a lot of us that love you for it.

Don't let anyone get you down. It is stressful and overwhelming, but you are doing a great job! You're a great blogger, writer, and most importantly, a great mom. People have to be critics or try to drag others down sometimes, some people are just like that. Hold your head high and keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait for the book!
- November 14, 2007 at 9:13 AM
Being a working mom is busy. How lucky you are to bring in $4000/month every once in a while with the prospect of making big bucks off a book deal.
- November 14, 2007 at 9:26 AM
Sorry that last paragraph cracked me up!! I was reading your post yesterday and read that part where you said you are holding on to that for the book. My thought was, oh boy the comments people will leave about that! I do agree tho, got to leave somethings for the book.
- November 14, 2007 at 9:28 AM
I am so excited about leaving a comment before 10,000 other moms get the chance. I love your site. It shows me that it is ok to have a sense of humor when raising multiple kids. I have four kids ages 2-11 and let me tell you the hormones are flying at my house!! It is enough dealing with hormonal tweenage girl, but throw in a 3 more and it's a circus. I truly admire how you are dealing with what has to be an extreme level of stess added to your "normal" life. I can't imagine what it is like to have all the pressure about the book, sitcoms, etc. Keep up the great work and Godspeed!! I'll definately keep reading.
- November 14, 2007 at 9:48 AM
You know what?
Dawn's reply to that last comment was not "bitchy;" it was right on and well-deserved.
I cannot believe the nerve of some people.
How easy it must be to criticize and direct and give advice to others...
As a writer myself, I would have to say that Dawn has made a very wise choice to withhold some stories for her book while posting others here.
That's just good business sense.
How dare any of us criticize what she is doing or how she is doing it???
What have YOU done lately? And are you willing to put it out there for the whole world to criticize?
Dawn, you are doing great! Keep it up!

Dear Dawn,
I have an old and very cherished copy of Erma Bombeck's "Cherries" book that I've read over and over. I have seen the movie Dirty Dancing 39 times to date. My Chicken Soup books look like they've been boiled in chicken soup because they've been handled so much. Every Christmas, without fail, Hubby and I sit down and watch White Christmas. On TV. Even though we have a DVD copy of it. It's just more traditional that way. And we must not be alone in this feeling or the networks would stop playing it each year.
The point here is that as long as it touches the heart, stirs the imagination, or jogs the memory, people will not be disappointed at having already seen some of your stuff in your blog. Just think of it in the same light as the previews that entice so many to return so often to the movie theaters to pay $6+ for a seat.
One day your book may well join the classics. Who knows? I do, however, suspect that moms my age will be giving it as a baby shower present to their own daughters, friends, and family, for years to come.
Wishing you Peace, Blessings and Plentiful Punchlines for many years... and many books :o)

Hey Dawn, I just saw your news spot (thanks for posting it for us who 5:00 news is the most inconvenient time for a news program.) I was on a TV spot over a year ago showcasing a business product I make and I HATED watching myself. It didn't make it any better since my kids (who had been on the spot with me) wanted to watch it over and over and I had to keep looking and listening to myself and wondering how come I didn't do this, or did that... Do you do that when you see or hear yourself or are you used to it by now?

Dawn, you are simply amazing! Keep up the good work; you are doing a great job. I know that God will continue to guide you in the right direction. Your true "fans" (yes, I said fans, your a supa star)will follow you regardless of how much "stuff" you give us to munch on.
- November 14, 2007 at 10:49 AM
you know what I love about you? You live in the real world. You take what God has given you in stride (or at least that seems to me to be your goal) and you let life be what it will be. Crumbs, milk bubbles, screaming kids, hectic schedules, and piles of laundry...it's all gonna be there whether or not we complain about it. So why not laugh? Your perspective is great and that is what you help me to do...laugh.
Thanks for not making apologies about your life, or your time schedule, or for holding back the "good" stuff from your blog for better reading later in your book. God's answer to your prayer for a way to help your family is way more important than the instant gratification of some of your blog readers.
Keep it up! :)

Thanks for posting the interview - I wanted to see it, but not a ton of time to search it out!
On the topic of dogs:
Not all dogs shed. First generation labradoodles shed a bit, but not tons (ok we do get tumbleweeds but that's because we vacuum/sweep so rarely due to our crazy schedules). I never thought I'd be a huge dog proponent, but my two have fallen in love with our doodle and are as big a help as an 8 and 5 year old can be when it comes to caring for him.
Love reading your blog!

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saw you on Good Morning America, while taking care of my newborn. I thought I was busy, until I saw your story. Anyway, I was immediatly intreauged by your money making. I knew as a stay at home mom myself, that I had to find out how you did this. I found researched and found out, and have now made my first $100. Its not $4000, but its a start. Thank you for showing me the way.I had no idea this was even possible untill you came along. I have recruited 5 more women in search for a way to vent and bestof all a way to make extra income. Please come by and visit my new blog at http://mvkq3.blogspot.com. WHEN you have time of course...

Eh, there are always going to be negative comments. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I have too much other stuff going on to worry about silly comments though. It really doesn't bother me. Like you, I figure if someone doesn't care for my blog, it's fine. Don't read it. End of problem. :)

I agree with the "can't wait" sentiment re your book. I already have plans as making it a mothers day gift for every mom I know.
But I can't even offer to kid-sit for you to free up writing time else how will you get your material for the book?
- November 14, 2007 at 12:53 PM

I am so glad that you posted the clip for us to watch, I may never have been able to see it here in England otherwise, you made me feel great because you are so real and I KNOW what life is like with 6 kids, mine are split into 2 'litters' 22, 20, 18 and 7, 6 and 4.....there is a great deal of shouting going on round here sometimes ( although the first litter have all left now, we just have the littlies at home, thankyou Lord)I love your blog, I laugh and understand all at the same time, I wish I had your talent!
- November 14, 2007 at 3:59 PM
I love your blog - You go girl! I have another idea for a topic - potty training. What did you do for each of your kids? What worked? What didn't work? What did you learn along the way? This would really help out us moms who are embarking on the journey for the first time.

After I read your blog this morning I just went "YEAH".
You are, who you are and as you said, people choose to visit your blog. IT IS THEIR CHOICE.
I think it is fabulous that from your day to day life you find humour and decide to share it with the world through the world of BLOG.
As I was reading through the comments though there are alot of mothers who find comfort in reading that they are normal, that they are not alone in the daily routines of raising children. Its funny though I too have people go "How do you do it?" I think having more children is easier than only having one or two at home, they have more to play with and the games they come up with cracks me up lol.

Hey Dawn, I love your blog just the way it is, and I can hardly wait for the book to come out, because even if it had been just all of the blogs put together it would have been great. Knowing that you are holding some of it back means that it will be that much more. (hows that first sentence for a run on sentence? ;) )
- November 14, 2007 at 6:16 PM
I have a Miniature Schnauzer. He doesn't shed. I hardly ever vacuum, and I don't have any dog hair in the house, except on the dog. He does need trimming, and I do that myself, with help from a video I bought called Doggie Cuts. I was thinking of a poodle, but my sons said "That's a frou-frou dog!" Even boys think Schnauzers are cool.

haaa-bawaa!! your last answer was just perfect!
I enjoyed the t.v. interview, I liked best that you showed up as a normal regular mom in regular clothes- I would have been disappointed if you looked like you ran out and got a complete makeover.
I once made it a point to watch Oprah- just to see the segment of a beautiful mom of like 8 kids or something, I wanted to see how she managed to stay so thin and look so wonderful..I was so disappointed to figure out, putting 2 and 2 together during the show at her house, that besides the really expensive home gym in her basement, complete with ceiling mounted t.v.'s and more equipment then my old membership gym had..that she also had a nanny to watch the littles while she went to workout.
okaayy, I'll get right on that...
glad you are keeping it real!

"I can write an additional 20,000 words this month for the publisher, I can review products and websites from work-at-home moms and write up reviews on Mamaslike, and I can come up with long, funny stories for you to read every day. Sounds like a plan!

Sasquatch 2016 Rumors:
Monday, December 12, 2011
2012 Sasquatch Headliner Predictions
Bon Iver (83.2%) - A Sasquatch vet who has blown up recently. Singer/songwriters rarely reach headliner status with a couple good albums and fantastic live shows. They need to crossover into "popular" music to reach this lofty status. I don't care what anyone thinks about Bon Iver's lack of popularity, or how much any of you hate Kanye West. Fact is, Kanye West made Bon Iver a star by introducing him to a new crowd, the 19-23 year olds who spend a lot of time listening to the radio, and who make up half of the Sasquatch attendees. His most recent album spent time in the top 40, which shows how popular he is. I don't base my opinions on who I like, most of what you are reading is based on ticket sales. Bon Iver was recently selling out 3,000 capacity venues in a day. He's much bigger than you think, is still up and coming, and is my most likely choice for Sasquatch 2012 headliner. Sasquatch has recently landed the soon to be headliners at larger festivals, so this is a perfect match.
Deadmau5 (31.4%) - I'm not sure he'll ever stop touring, but he does have upcoming dates, including Europe in June, so he's available. He's about as much of a Sasquatch vet as there is, being a relative unknown in the dance tent in 2009, then playing the late night second stage slot in 2010. It seems like a natural progression to make headlining the main stage the next stop. He's already headlined Lollapalooza, although their split headliner formula made him more like a subheadliner. A real headlining gig which doesn't end at 10 p.m. has to be tempting. I predicted an EDM headlining act earlier this summer, and the mouse is the most likely. Plus, Sasquatch has had a mouse band on their lineup four years straight. The streak cannot end now.
Mumford & Sons (24.5%) - Another Sasquatch vet who has blown up recently, and that is an understatement. They went from playing the second stage at Sasquatch 2010 early in the day to selling out 1,500 capacity venues in minutes a couple months later. They were a sub/sub at Coachella 2011, had a huge crowd, and put on a solid show. They are now playing arenas, and are still gaining popularity. It's amazing to me a band with one album would blow up like this, but they have, and you are kidding yourself if you think they are not big enough to headline Sasquatch. They are not yet big enough to headline the biggest U.S. Festivals, so again, they fit the recent Sasquatch headliner trend.
Primus (15.4%) - They played the NW in 2010, but ended their 2011 tour in California without making it back up north. They have a couple shows in California at the end of the month, and shows in Europe in March/April. They've never played Sasquatch, so I'll give the Black Keys warning I offered earlier. The only reason their percentage is so low is because they really aren't big enough to headline Sasquatch. They might be huge in California, but they aren't a huge draw in the NW. It could happen, but a subheadliner slot on loud Friday seems more fitting.
Portishead (15.3%) - They played in Seattle this fall. Does this make them more likely or less likely to headline Sasquatch? In this case, much more likely. They rarely tour, and have a hell of a light/monitor show they obviously spent a lot of time and money on. It would look great on the main stage at Sasquatch, similar to Massive Attack's headlining set two years ago.
Sigur Ros (8.2%) - Sigur Ros might be active in 2012, which is why they are included here. They fit the sub-headliner mold of the biggest festivals, which is about right for a Sasquatch headliner. Bands want to be headliners. If Sigur Ros has to choose between a headliner set at Sasquatch, or a subheadliner set at a different large festival, Sasquatch would be more lucrative and attractive. I don't think they will be on the lineup, but as far as, "wow, I never thought they would be there," bands go, Sigur Ros would surprise me the least. Yes, I just said the most likely of the least likely. That's still something.
Skrillex (7.7%) - Like him or not, he is gigantic these days, and has a pretty amazing light show in tote. He is touring through June of 2012 with a giant gap in May, so he is also available. Remember when he used to open for Deadmau5? Wouldn't that be an interesting headliner/sub. EDM Friday anyone?
Red Hot Chili Peppers (3.6%) - RHCP will be everyone in 2012. They have also announced tour dates excluding the NW. Headliners year to year can be a small pool to choose from. It's not like every band big enough to headline is available every year. The Peppers will play major festivals in the United States and Europe. With the chances of them headlining Coachella appearing less likely, that only makes their chances of headlining Sasquatch more likely. They are the Foo Fighters of last year, and will help guarantee another sell out in 2012. Remember Jane's Addiction's first U.S. festival headlining set was Sasquatch, even though Perry Farrell founded Lollapalooza, and often plays Coachella in some form. Sasquatch isn't too small for the Hots. UPDATE: Recently recent tour dates put the Peppers in the midwest during Sasquatch with dates booked on three of the four days of the festival. They drop from a 30.1% chance.
Black Keys (1.4%) - They have been the most obvious choice since the conclusion of Sasquatch 2011. They finally reached the masses with the crossover success of their 2010 album Brothers. They also aren't big enough to headline the biggest festivals, but the pending success of their newest album released last week should change that. The Black Keys are on the verge of being the biggest non-Legend rock band in the world. Their possibility is strengthened by the fact they recently announced tour dates with the NW missing. Knowing the Sasquatch headliners are likely aleady booked, 2012 is the best chance Sasquatch has to land them. However, the only reason I don't think they are a lock is because they have been rumored every year recently, but are never on the lineup. Some bands are less likely because of behind the scene interactions we don't know about. Sasquatch is practically run by Ticketmaster, so there are a lot of reasons huge bands would turn their nose. UPDATE: Recently released NW tour dates indicates the Black Keys are highly unlikely. They drop from a 68.2% chance.
Radiohead (1.3%) - I discussed the Radiohead possibilities last month. They are on tour next spring, and still have no NW dates. I still give them a 1/10 chance of being there, which is much higher than I have ever given them, and likely much higher than I will ever get them. If you're going to blow a huge chunk of change on the Red Hots, why not up the ante and get Radiohead instead? UPDATE: Recently released NW tour dates indicates Radiohead is highly unlikely. They drop from a 9.6% chance.
Pearl Jam (0.1%) - As mentioned in the comments section, Pearl Jam is back. They have a couple festival gigs booked in Europe in June, so there is no reason to believe they won't be ready for Sasquatch. Is this finally the year for Pearl Jam? Probably not. I'll keep wishing. Again, if you're going to spend the bank on the Hot Chilies, why not pay more for Pearl Jam instead? UPDATE: I created the dots last night, but didn't connect them until this morning. Pearl Jam hates Ticketmaster. They've been involved in a lawsuit in the past. Since Ticketmaster is tight with Livenation (who runs Sasquatch) you'll probably never see them on the lineup. I'm downgrading them from a 4.3% chance to a 0.1% chance.
Fleet Foxes (0.1%) - The are only rated so low because they are the perfect subheadliner for Bon Iver (or Mumford & Sons). Their Sasquatch probability is much higher, but I'm not convinced they are headliner status unless a large chunk of the budget is spent on Radiohead or Pearl Jam. They have the local love, and have played the festival twice, so that might push them over the edge. UPDATE: Per Robin Pecknold's twitter, the band has no upcoming shows booked. They drop from a 14.1% chance.
If you agree, or think other headliner predictions are missing, let me know in the comments section. If you think my predictions are synonymous to a Sasquatch campground honey bucket which hasn't been emptied in four days, you are welcome to state that as well.

Good analysis. My predictions (excluding the ones already mentioned) would be Animal Collective and The Shins

I think bjork is a good possibility as well..is playing several festivals and it's been 4 years since her show at Sasquatch
- December 13, 2011 at 9:29 PM
- know ID yuh said...
I'm operating under the thought Bjork will headline Coachella, and not play any other U.S. festivals. I could be wrong, but I see her Sasquatch chances as almost zero.
Average festival goers hate Animal Collective. While I agree they would fit the up and coming mold for Sasquatch headliners, they are way too weird. I doubt they ever play Sasquatch again.
The Shins however, I think they will be there, but as a sub at best. Fleet Foxes are a much bigger draw, believe it or not.
- December 13, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Black Keys played in 2004 according to Wikipedia. I'd be shocked if they weren't a headliner. I don't see Mumford & Sons as a headliner. Though they are on par in terms of popularity with past headliners, pretty much every band in the past few years have a renowned reputation for a great live show (MMJ/Massive Attack/Ween/Foos/Janes and NIN), and/or some sort of longevity/paid their dues (Modest Mouse/Death Cab/Wilco). I don't even think they're comparable to Kings of Leon, who'd just released heir fourth (massively popular) album, and had headlined everywhere over seas. I don't think Mumford & Sons have the rep or longevity. Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver are more likely imo, but I also see them more in the Flaming Lips/Pavemet co-headliner spot.
- December 13, 2011 at 10:06 PM
- know ID yuh said...
Yup, you got me. Word to the wise, don't fact check while drinking. I didn't attend Sasquatch 2004. My "being there" memory is much better than my google skills.
However, the point I made remains the same, even after the edit.
- December 13, 2011 at 10:31 PM
Not necessarily headliners, but I'd be thrilled/not surprised to see Kill The Noise (just dropped a fantastic dubstep, electro EP), Knife Party/Rob Swire (gaining steady popularity in dubstep community) or Porter Robinson as EDM picks for The Banana Hammock (all rights reserved on that moniker btw)
- December 13, 2011 at 11:45 PM
I'm committed to going to sassy already, and I've bought tickets pre linuep for the last 3 years...if the headliners are The Black Keys, RHCP, Deadmau5, and Bon Iver I'd be really stoked as it would be one of my favorite group of sassy headliners yet! Maybe THE favorite.
Even thought that group isn't HUGE (with the exception of RHCP) I really enjoy all of those artists. I hope you're right.
Especially if The Shins and Fleet Foxes are sprinkled in there as well.
Shit im excited.
- December 13, 2011 at 11:51 PM
Not that it means anything in 2007 bjork headlined both coachella and Sasquatch..I think Sasquatch is best chance other than bumbershootfor bjork to play for big crowds.. In seattle area...

Sasquatch is half drunk bros and half dirty hipsters, and uh, isn't Animal Collective the represenative "hip" band? Idunno, I think it's likely they'd be there.

Drunk bros liking Animal Collective is a hilarious notion. Have you ever seen Animal Collective at a festival? Most people do not get it, period. They don't leave thinking, "I don't think I get it," they leave saying, "That was the worst shit I've ever seen in my life."

seksy, I didn't forget the Shins, I mentioned earlier in the comments I don't think they are big enough to headline.
Tony, sorry bud, but Sasquatch would NEVER be able to book Nine Inch Nail AND Jane's Addiction IN THE SAME YEAR. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER...
- December 14, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Black keys are a lock . They fit the we are now big enough to headline mold that Sasquatch likes(KOL and death cab)
Sigur ros fits the off the Radar act(Massive attack)
RHCP Fit the friday Rock headliner ( Foo Fighters and NIN)
And the last headliner would be a Pacific NW favorite.( flaming lips) I am going out on a limb and say The Pixies.
Saturday-Sigur Ros
Sunday- Black Keys
Monday - the Pixies
I think that is Possible, Radiohead has to stick around for a long time after Coachella to be at Sasquatch. Have alot of Dates in March. They are probably going to another more west coast dates in late March and Early April. So i think they are out.

even though its not Sasquatch's strong suit, it would be great to see a few solid Hip-Hop or R&B acts this year... The Weeknd hasn't done a festival yet, they would be pretty smart to get that guy booked.
otherwise i think youre right on target with predicted headliners... hopefully miike snow, and bring back Rodrigo y Gabriela - they were incredible.
- December 21, 2011 at 3:12 PM
Not headliners, but I think we might get a buzzy rap act like Odd Future or Childish Gambino.
- December 22, 2011 at 9:07 PM
I think you're way off Pearl Jam. Their disputes with Ticketmaster were buried years ago. Every PJ show that I have attended in the past five years I through Ticketmaster. Wake up and smell 1999.

you can pretty much rule out anybody who played last year. squatch has an unofficial bands can't come back year after year rule. yes it's been broke a few times but i've only seen it done with local acts covering for last minute cancellations (think the gossip played 2 years in a row). Skrillex won't be there this year.
- December 26, 2011 at 11:33 AM
deadmau5 just retired the cube and has said he is creating an even crazier light show for festival season 2012
sasqautch 2010 was one of the first cube shows he had so it seems fitting he would be back this year to release even more madness!!
radiohead, pixies, the black keys and mgmt.. would be amazing if 2 out of the 4 would be there,
BAND OF HORSES!! please...............
- December 26, 2011 at 3:34 PM

Kelly, bands with a significant increase in popularity since the festival have been invited back the following year, and bumped to a larger stage. For example, Deadmau5 in 2009, Passion Pit in 2010, and Local Natives in 2011. Skrillex's popularity has increased enormously since his dance tent set earlier this year, which is why he appears as a possibility.

@Pearl Jam fans: Pearl Jam "making up" with Ticketmaster is pretty funny. Pearl Jam spent a lot of time and paid a lot of money to sue Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster runs a huge portion of venue ticket sales across the nation. It is impossible to escape it. Pearl Jam is required to use Ticketmaster for many of their shows, or skip regions filled with their fans entirely. Saying, "they now support Ticketmaster because they play Ticketmaster venues," doesn't mean all is good. Who actually voluntarily supports ticketmaster?
@breoon: Nice catch.
@anon 12/17: I haven't heard the Beastie Boys are doing anything anytime soon. Chances for Sasquatch, maybe 1.1%, only because they would be returning headliners. That percent would go way up if they started touring again, or announced intentions to.
@brides rush-in: Thanks for the obvious compliment.
- December 27, 2011 at 10:58 PM
The Chemical Brothers should play the main stage.
- December 28, 2011 at 5:54 PM

^ They're awful live.
EVERY band sounds a tad better than they actually are when playing at the Gorge.
- January 1, 2012 at 12:49 PM
This is a shot in the dark, but possibly the band Phoenix? They're pretty big, but have been very quiet without any recent tours or album releases. They announced last year (Feb 2011) that they were working on an experimental album, which could be due out early this year. If released in time, I think they would be a big headliner at Sasquatch
- January 1, 2012 at 10:09 PM
- know ID yuh said...
Re MGMT: If I was a betting man, I would throw a small wager that MGMT will be on the lineup. I speculated earlier they might be headliner worthy, but it feels like their popularity has dropped because their second album wasn't nearly as catchy. I see them as a logical subheadliner, but a disappointing headliner. If a subheadliner is on the verge of being large enough to headline, I would hope they put on amazing shows. MGMT doesn't (nor do the Shins), which is why I think they are better suited for subheadlining slots.
Re Phoenix: Sure, Phoenix has a big enough following to headline. Their nearly complete silence is the only reason I didn't mention them.
- January 2, 2012 at 2:14 PM
RHCP, Radiohead, Foster the People, and Black Keys/or Bon Iver. That would be Amazing. I also want to see some of those suggested headliners in the place that Flaming Lips were last year. That would make sense.

STAR ANNA and the LAughing DOGS!!! I say... since they are local here and blowing up internationally and still I'm guessing pretty inexpensive :)

If Soundgarden is in Europe during Sasquatch, that means Pearl Jam will not be at Sasquatch either (for sure). Matt Cameron is the drummer in both bands (HE ROCKS) and neither will perform without him. :( I really really really want to see Pearl Jam at the Gorge :(
- January 8, 2012 at 3:42 PM
If The Hush Sound somehow played at Sasquatch, I'd probably be the happiest person on the planet
- January 8, 2012 at 6:14 PM
Is F***ed Up a realistic possibility (not sure on site's cursing policy)? They've blown up quite substantially and I realize punk/hardcore isn't really Sasquatch's scene, but they do have the crossover appeal.
For other Canadian acts, if the Black Keys are there, I assume The Sheepdogs will be as well, considering Patrick Carney is producing their next record. The Rural Alberta Advantage would be a nice pick. Don't know what Destroyer is doing in 2012. Maybe Feist?
Portishead would be fantastic. I wish PJ Harvey or Nick Cave could stop by one of these years. NC and the Bad Seeds are recording this year with Grinderman finished, don't know if they'll be ready for end of May.
Not a big act, but The Rapture could be a possibility, they will have been in Europe the previous month but should be done there. Would get the crowd moving.
Looking at other 2011 buzz acts: Real Estate seems like a no go with dates on different continents before and after, The War On Drugs are through the Pac NW as an opener in March, Girls seem to be a possibility, though.

i have a strong feeling in my gut that the shins will be there. new album, not many tour dates announced. the last one is at the end of april in reno. not to mention they're based out of portland and they did sasquatch in 2006.
- January 9, 2012 at 2:18 PM
The Shins, Silversun Pickups, Skrillex, Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, Grieves & Budo, Blue Scholars.....
I would love to see these acts, however....I would trade every single one for Daft Punk.

Re: Bjork, much more likely. 4.6% even.
- January 9, 2012 at 9:35 PM
I think you should rethink your Black Keys percentage. They are playing coachella and shows in Oakland and Sac-town. Based on their tour pattern they certainly could do a few early summer festivals after finishing their tour up in Canada and the northern midwest
- January 10, 2012 at 11:07 PM
i am thinking Friday -ATDI( reunion act for loud friday)
Saturday- Portishead or kraftwerk (some thing different)
Sunday - MMJ- I know they just played a couple years back but Sasquatch like to bring back headliners.
Monday- Shins, Bon Iver (Co headliners, Probably not strong enough to headline separate, )
Its so Hard this year because all the bands that would normally be big enough to headline were there last year.
- January 11, 2012 at 7:05 AM
- Professor Proton said...
You should reevaluate your Pearl Jam odds.
They currently have dates booked in Europe through LiveNation (UK) and Eddie's solo tour was through Ticketmaster. I think that hatchet was buried years ago.
Plus Bright Eyes had a similar issue with them, but still played last year.
If you add in the PJ20 documentary and the summer dates in Europe, I could see them starting it all in the Gorge.
- January 12, 2012 at 2:42 PM
- know ID yuh said...
I don't know ticketmaster's involvement with venues outside of the NW, but I know they basically own the Gorge. It also seems sketchy Pearl Jam chose Wisonsin for their 20th anniversary show. They are a NW band who defined the Seattle grunge scene in the 90s. Why not the Gorge?
- January 12, 2012 at 10:00 PM
Queens of the stone Age?
- January 13, 2012 at 8:50 PM
If I see the following on ANOTHER Sasquatch line up I will boycott forever:
Local Natives
Fleet Foxes
The Flaming Lips
Nada Surf
Michael Franti
Why hope for bands that have played almost every year??
RHCP headlining the festival will do to Sasquatch what Tragically Hip headlining did to Pemberton. Attract a bunch of dorks. Chemical Brothers would be awesome and worthy. Sigur Ros would be awesomer. Radiohead would be most awesome. If the Horrors didn't hate touring in the US that would be a supremely awesome headliner. Mangum is Lord.
- January 19, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Last year Death cab headlined, even though they had a showbox show a few weeks surrounding. So let's not get too bummed about Radiohead yet!

That Death Cab Shobox event was a secret show announced the day before, long after Sasquatch had sold out. It was also a charity event, a much different situation than Radiohead.
- January 27, 2012 at 1:42 PM
yeah Death Cab played in Bend, then the next day drove up for Sasquatch. I personally want to see Grace Potter & the Nocturnals at Sasquatch. She has a little Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings vibe and is great live! Shes playing Coachella, but has from early may to early june off. I wouldn't be too surprised if they went

Award-winning food, high-quality service, and a beautiful setting — that's the combination you get when dining at Savannah Grille. Although this venue is only accessible by land, its ideal location creates stunning lake views from both the patio and indoor seating options.
What is it
Award-winning food, high-quality service, and a beautiful setting — that's the combination you get when dining at Savannah Grille. Although this venue is only accessible by land, its ideal location creates stunning lake views from both the patio and indoor seating options.
It specializes in home-grown food with the vision of a farm-to-place concept. Chef Robert Sills regularly reaches out to local producers to source his ingredients close to home and provide the freshest quality possible. The menu is altered seasonally to accommodate for the availability of different goods and most of the herbs used are grown right outside of the kitchen door. A complete list of all the local farmers is available on every menu to inform guests of exactly where their superb food is coming from.
On the Menu
After studying in South Carolina and Italy, Sills brought inspiration from both areas to the menu at Savannah Grille.
Shrimp and Grits is one deep-south favorite that Sills brought up to the lucky residents of Lake Ozark. His previous training gives him the skill to create an authentic dish equivalent to anything you would find in New Orleans, if not better.
Other selections on the dinner menu include an Idaho-sourced Trout, Carolina Crab Cakes, a Denver leg carved Venison and a Premium Black Angus Beef from Creekstone Farms. And although it is a bit out of the ordinary, the Rabbit is also an excellent choice. The kitchen staff pre-makes ten portions of this entreé each night because it takes four or five hours to complete! However, the meticulous works pays off into one tasty dish.
For the less adventurous diner, there is still plenty to choose form. The Savannah Burger in particular is a classic option, made completely from scratch.
Insider Information
Last year, Savannah Grille won two different Silver Spoon Awards for their culinary excellence. It was awarded one for the 'Best Fried Oysters' and the other for the 'Best New Restaurant' on land in the area.
Sills regularly writes about his own favorite dishes as well as other ways to educate his readers on the food they are eating in a local media column. This month, he recently published a story about the popular Rabbit dish and all the work that goes into creating it.
What's Cool About It
Savannah Grille often hosts wine dinners to introduce guests to new local wines with excellent food pairings. It is usually an intimate setting of only 24 guests with a seven-course meal and guests are welcome to order more of the wine they enjoyed from the vendors.
If you couldn't get enough of the homemade sauces, you don't have to! Savannah Grille sells their own Savannah's Lowcountry Spice, Honey Thyme Vinaigrette, Grilled Onion ranch, and Southern Coast Croutons by the bottle for the convenience of their guests.
The restaurant hosts live music every Friday and Saturday night, as well as for Sunday Brunch. Genres vary from easy listening, jazz and piano players to classic rock.
