Bumbershoot

I wanted to make one last post about Bumbershoot this year. One of Seattle's best music festivals, Bumbershoot is definately worth checking out. The Shins, Wu-Tang Clan, Panic! At the Disco and many more have all been confirmed so far, but this is more than just a summer concert. This three day festival includes live music, comedians, dance performances, theater and much more. If you go, be sure to take your time at this event and wander around the Seattle Center taking in everything that Bumbershoot has to offer.

Keep visiting Bumbershoots web site for more updates!

Future at Seattle SPI

Just wanted to let everyone know that this summer I will be writing an online column for the Seattle Post Intelligencer's new web site SPI. The Column will review live music, recommend restaurants and bars and much much more. Because that will take up so much of my time, I'm afraid I will not be able to continue this blog. But if you still want to hear what I think about Seattle Music scene, check the Seattle PI's web site here and visit SPI when the site is launched!
