If I may alleviate just one of these things- Bumbershoot ain't all that. It's a HUGEPILEOFPEOPLE crammed in to one place. Yes, good performances happen, and yes local burners and artists are moving up and taking it on, but don't worry. As 'art festivals' go, it's not all that. Though I haven't been in this millennium, either. haha. I grew up going to it and all I can say is crowds, expensive, not worth it. So maybe it's not making your iphone cooler, but it's somethin'.
Oh...I am sure you're right. I think I have this attachment to the idea of it from long ago, these dreams of what it would have been like for me to go to it back in the day, and who i might see now if i went. I actually looked at the lineup and realized that I'm so living in the past on that front - but the idea of seeing John Vanderslice in Seattle does make me all swoony.
I think it's just nostalgia talking about an event I've never been to that never existed for me anyway. BUT the day there's another Posies reunion up there, I'll walk if I have to.
