Let the Scots have their Loch Ness Monster, the Puerto Ricans their chupacabra and everyone else their UFO abductions, because here on the West Coast we have Bigfoot, a crypto-zoological beast that is quintessentially Northwest: tall, hairy, stinky and so passive-aggressive he’s only been seen by a handful of people. Many of those Squatch witnesses — and a few folks, called habituators, who have seen the thing multiple times — will gather Saturday and Sunday, June 19-20, during the first-ever Oregon Sasquatch Symposium, an impressive gathering of researchers, folklorists and BF experts who will share their stories of that legendary (some say mythological, others say BS) creature of the forest. (The painting pictured above, “Squachy Road” by Nate Domschot, is part of an exhibit currently running at the Museum of Unfine Art). For more information, visit thurs, june 17
