The Stranger decides to weigh in on the first day of Bumbershoot 2008.
07.30.2008 Ask Evan: Bumbershoot's Literary Arts
Q: Hey Evan, I’m coming to Bumbershoot (so stoked for !!!(!)), but I also want to check out some of the authors. Any suggestions?
Authors, you say? So you want to check out the “lit-arts” at Bumbershoot, but you don’t exactly follow what I call “the book scene.” That’s fine, I get it. You’re hovering somewhere between the being-able-to-read crowd and the reviewing-books-for-The-New-Yorker crowd. I’m in the same boat. Luckily you have me to guide you to the authors of Bumbershoot.
06.25.2008 Bumbershoot's Literary Lineup!
Bumbershoot is indeed Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival… but really, Bumbershoot is also a Music & SMARTS Festival. Case in point: all of the sweet literary artists and intelligentsia that flock to the Festival each year. This year you can get your music on, while holding true to your brainiac leanings by bragging about your time at Starlee Kine’s Post-It Note Reading Series, checking out comix artists Dan Clowes, Adrian Tomine and Ivan Brunetti, and need we even mention William Gibson, Sherman Alexie, Saul Williams, Chip Kidd or Edmund White? The 2008 literary arts lineup looks awesome; we’ll save you a seat. For a complete literary listing, visit bumbershoot.org/music-and-arts.htm.
