Drive by Bumbershooting

[rbier]

If I can play pool at work, surely I can update lj at work.
Bumbershoot was ridiculously awesome. After learning from last year's line-waiting travesty, I saw all the bands I wanted to see (except Devo, who cancelled a month ago), as well as a couple extra comedy shows. Decembrists, Aqueduct, Ted Leo, Brazilian Girls, and comedy acts of Todd Barry

See, you're learning. Pretty soon you'll be playing video games at work. Then you'll quit to play poker full time. Then you'll find a girl. Then you'll have interviews with Google, Amazon, and Adobe. Then you'll realize that you're me and I will have swallowed your soul.

That's not a euphemism.

Ross... your hair...

screaming
um
into people's extremities

and

whatever the rest of the words are, only, make them mangled.

I was wonderfully rude to her

Bastard.

The whole day, I was thinking that I was going to run into someone from elementary school or something, so it took me a minute to figure it out when I saw you. Brownie? In Seattle? What? Does not compute.

We chatted through Dashboard. Listened to the Decemberists, they were awesome.

I was just glad you weren't some Microsoftie in disguise. Those weirdos are everywhere.

Yeah, big fan of the Decemberists. I've never seen a band spontaneously sing Happy Birthday in front of that huge a crowd.

Do you remember what was on the setlist?

I'm going to go see them in a week or so...

It was mostly from Picaresque... The Sporting Life, Lost at Sea, 16 Military Wives, Engine Driver, Mariner's Revenge Song were most memorable (in that I remembered them). Also a couple from each of the old albums, but none of my favorites, so I don't know the names off hand. They're all sea shanties anyways. I thought I was a pirate until sundown.
