Bumbershootin'

Hell Yes: the weirder the festival's name, the better. This year's Bumbershoot Festival, in the great city of Seattle, has annonuced its initial lineup: The Shins, Wu-Tang Clan, Lupe Fiasco, Steve Earle, DeVotchka and more. Right now, tix are only 60 bones for the three-day event. There's arts and farts and crafts too, and comedy. It's right in the Seattle Center, by the Space Needle and whatnot. Rock on, Seattlites. And whatnot. How about adding local heroes Argo? They KICK ASS.
