On Some Of This Year’s Bumbershoot Bands

Bumbershoot--a.k.a.The Seattle Arts Festival, held each Labor Day Weekend on the 74-acre grounds of the Seattle Center-- seemed observably, immediately different in this 32nd edition. Even a semi-experienced Bumbershooter would’ve been struck by the cost- cutting measures evident at this year’s fest, from the fewer (and, with a few exceptions, lesser) musical acts, to having to shell out a buck for the previously free schedule as one stepped through the entrance gates.
