blog Your Bumbershoot Stories Wanted!
Assemblage, a national arts collective, wants your Bumbershoot stories and memories for Way Stations, a unique audio walking tour made especially for Bumbershoot. Way Stations is combining fan emails, voice messages and hours of personal interviews to create an audio experience that evokes the lives of strangers who share public and private spaces.
So what’s your story?
Some questions to get your creative juices flowing:
- Have you ever seen anything unexpected, funny or strange while at Bumbershoot?
- When did you first attend Bumbershoot? What was it like?
- Did you discover a new band or artist at Bumbershoot that deeply affected you, or changed your life?
- Have you ever kissed a stranger at Bumbershoot?
- Can you describe your experience of the Festival through your senses? Sight, touch, sound, taste, and smell?
Submit your story anonymously by leaving a message at 206.260.2703 or emailing waystationstories@gmail.com.
Way Stations tours depart from the NW Rooms’ Lobby daily at Bumbershoot from 11am-3pm.
The project is part of 4Culture’s King County Performance Network Site-Specific Art Happenings.

last year (2008) at the monotonix show they pulled the drum set into the middle of the crowd and the singer and guitarts crowed surfed in trash cans and the singer ripped his pants off! they had to cancel the show 15 minutes into it but it was probly the most fun show ive ever been to. also at the headlike a kite concert they had people in neon colored costumes danceing aroudn and shooting confettii. i found so many great bands there that i had never even heard of.
