Evan's Guide To Bumbershoot: Sunday

After my extremely busy Saturday, you might think I’d be through. Burned out, frazzled, a shivering husk. Not so! Here’s my comprehensive schedule for Sunday, using our sweet new scheduling system (sign up and see for yourself!):

12:30-1:30
LUNCH: Something from the Philippines that I can’t pronounce, and some delicious lumpia.

1:30-2:45 – Boeing Performing Arts Stage
Saul Williams, Canary Sing: Saul Williams is the man, that is completely undeniable. Missing this would be foolish in every way. Add Canary Sing to the mix for good measure. I will feel very cool after this.

3:15-4:15 – Exhibition Hall Stage
The Blakes: They get a lot of buzz in Seattle for good reason. They’ll set a good tone for the day, if I don’t dance my pants completely off.

5:00-6:00 – Exhibition Hall Stage
These Arms Are Snakes: This is probably one of my favorite bands at the entire festival. I’ve been telling everyone not to miss them, including you readers. Bring comfortable shoes, you will be dancing like a crazy person.

6:00-7:00 – Boeing Performing Arts Stage
Seattle School’s RECESSION!: if you’re suffering from the “macroeconomic frownzies,” which I will never get tired of saying, check out this sugar-coated J-pop delight.

7:15-8:15 – Comedy Stage North
Hannibal Buress, Karen Kilgariff, Doug Benson: This is going to be a pretty hot ticket, but for good reason. Get on the YouTube and check these comedians out, they are all great. I will be laughing hysterically so get excited to see that.

8:15-8:45
DINNER: See how many Shishkaberries I can fit in my mouth at one time, accidentally piercing my own cheek with the stick the berries come on.

8:45-9:45 – Exhibition Hall Stage
Brother Ali: Some nice smooth rapping will go nicely with the two pounds of fruit I will have recently consumed, and will also sound completely awesome.

9:45-10:30 – EMP|SFM’s Sky Church
Thee Emergency: back to dancing my pants off when I catch the end of Thee Emergency’s set at the Sky Church. And you gotta love that giant wall of TV’s behind the stage. It’s just surreal.

So now you know where I’ll be on Sunday. You can always check out my schedule on Bumbershoot.org, or even sign up and make your own, in case you think you can do better than me (no way).
