Bumbershoot Rocks, O Ja!!!

I spent yesterday at the Seattle Folk Arts Festival and it was totally cool. It goes on for 4 days every Labor Day weekend, but I only went for the last day and it could not have been more perfect. The weather was great, the crowds huge (but fun), the mood festive, and the music fantastic. I started with The Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra, then on to Post Stardom Depression, The Decemberists, Dashboard Confessional, Aqueduct, Earlimart, Streb (a dance troupe), and closing out with Tegan and Sara (wayyy cool;-). Wow, 12 hours of running from one side of Seattle Center to the other, rocking with the bands, 4 hours of driving on each side of that, and having to go to work this morning! I will definitely be back next year, and for all 4 days. But for now I need just a little sleep so that tomorrow I can drive back over to the west side for a meeting Thursday and then spend a couple of days in the mountains. Well, sleep is for the dead, and I am not dead...yet;-)...vertu svalur y'all
