So now back to the USA and back to being treated like rock stars and were else would be better than at a music festival. The Bumbershoot 2007 Festival in
Seattle was quite a treat for us. In addition to all of the of the natural beauty that the Seattle region has to offer, we also got to perform in the world class facilities of the Seattle Repertory Theatre in the Bagley Wright Theatre. The weather was amazing the people were generous, we stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel along with John Legend and a host of other performers at the festival. I saw some amazing music including Devotchka, Barrington Levy, Andrew Bird, Honeycut, Gogol Bordello, and my personal favorite Zap Mama.
Seeing Zap Mama was like watching the perfect blend of Bjork and Funkadelic, I think it has been years since I have seen a performance of that caliber. The festival took place at THe Seattle Center which is a 10 square block of land down town under the Space Needle and right next to the Frank Gehry Music and Sci Fi museum.
We also went to the Pikes Place Market were there was miles of fresh fish, flowers and hand crafts, a feast for the senses, and yes I did watch them throw some fish around. All in all it was amazing trip but I am happy to be back in Austin for 3 weeks before we go off to Helsinki.
