Bumbershoot

Labour Day weekend, five of us headed down to the crazy American city that is Seattle. There was an equally crazy arts festival going on that weekend that we just could not miss. With bands like Blondie, Steve Miller Band, Great Big Sea, AFI, Breakestra, Electric Shades of Blue, Kanye West and A Tribe Called Quest, and art exhibits like 'Softly Threatening' and amazing street preformers and comedians, how could one miss it. The festival was amazing, the bands were incredible. Steve Miller Band was a dream come true, Great Big Sea made me so proud to be Canadian, Breakestra floored me with the amount of talent they had, and Kanye West was the ultimate preformer.
The city itself was a.....treat. It made me proud to be from Vancouver, lets just say that. We crammed 5 people into a 2 person hotel room which made for a lot of laughs. It was without a doubt the perfect way to close an equally amazing summer.


Clockwise: Some proud Canadians watching GBS, GBS singing, Steve Miller jamming on one of his very first guitars, and the saxophonist of Breakestra playing an alto and a tenor saxophone at the same time!!
