Forget hyperlocal, we're getting painfully local here. As someone who lunches on the north side of Union Square here in New York, I'm always keeping a watchful eye for anything new and different besides sandwiches or this excellent mediocre Thai I'm enjoying as of this writing.

After speaking with Adam Zacks, who’s been organizing the annual event since 2002, I was curious about the “spirit of the Pacific Northwest” that he referenced repeatedly. Now I think I get it. The folks who attend Sasquatch! are genuinely passionate about music and new bands and not necessarily there for the rage factor.

More on what differentiates Sasquatch! from the rest of 'em after the jump.

Wireless internet service at airports is becoming more rule, less exception. Google has embraced the holiday spirit by distributing free Wi-Fi at 47 U.S. airports until January 15, 2010.
