Bumbershoot - Saturday (SRMM)
Before volunteering, I got a chance to check out Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks at Key Arena.
Then, I was a Literary Assistant for a few hours at the Starbucks stage. During my shift, I saw: Big Poppa E (wow!), Inga Muscio, Diane Di Prima, a panel Jayne Anne Phillips, Carole Glickfeld, Nance Van Winckel, Farnoosh Moshiri, Shirley Geok-lin Lim;
After that I saw a few shows -- Ween (a little to drug-rocky for me); Carissa's Wierd (barely - there was a huge line even while Hana was playing, but I got to hear a few songs. The EMP was so annoying -- there was a whole class of people that just wanted to see the inside and had absolutely no interest in any of the "bumberclub" bands. grrrr.); because I waited so long, I stayed for "Cannibal! The Musical" which was made by Matt Stone & Trey Parker (the South Park people) This movie was, um, too long for the late hour.
