Bumbershoot 2006

Finally I made it to Bumbershoot yesterday..just in time to get to Spoon, and meet up with Reilly and Angie. Reilly and I kept attempting to take pictures, some of which are below. Thankfully she's tall and helped me take pics. It was funny, there was an "interpreter" for one of the songs since the band wanted everyone to understand what they were saying..the guy ran around stage and at one point mooned the audience. At the end the dummer threw his drumstick out to the audience, but unfortunately it wasn't near me. Danggit! I love Spoon! Even though I'm getting the CD from the library, I think I'm going to buy it. The singer had a slight accent, and is cute. My dad made jokes if there was a group called Forks, and "Knives just didn't make it.."

When that was over I got my token for the evening shows- Kanye West and Blue Scholars. We met up with Reilly's friend Ashley and then we split up to get food which we ate at the fountain where all the kids play. We decided to go back to Reilly's since we didn't see anything cool for a few hours. Angie and Ashley left, and Reilly and I went back where it was freaking nuts. All "tickets" for the evening shows were sold out. The sign also said "There are plenty of other great shows! I was like yea RIGHT! We ran in the mass of continous people coming into the mainstage. As you can tell, there's a ton of people. 23,000 to be exact. I tried to get a photo of the packed bleachers on both sides, but well, I have sucky camera. It was also hard to get a pic of Kanye. But we were a bit far from the stage, on the right side of the soundbooth, and he kept running around stage. I really did see him!

Okay, the photos ain't loading no more, so I'll post my so-so pics lata. Plus if I can post videos that'd be awesome.
