Seattle.........Bumbershoot Festival.

Wendy and Samara at the Bumbershoot music and arts festival with "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club" playing on stage behind them. Seattle, Washington. This festival is held right under the Seattle Space Needle.

What can I say about this place, I love it. We arrived in town on the 1st September totally oblivious to the fact that this festival was on. That day we just wandered around the city checking it out, enjoying ourselves, relaxing and taking it all in.

On the next day, the 2nd, we decided to get on the monorail and go over to the music district...Seattle Central. When we got there we found this festival just kicking off for the second day of the three days it runs for.......we checked out the lineup for the day and that was it...........bought three tickets @ $35 each and in we went .......approx 40 bands for the day and numerous comedy and stage acts also, quite a bargain compared to prices for the same calibre show at home.
This was Samara's first big rock concert, and first major live band.... and she had a ball, it was great for Wendy and I to share it with her. We arrived at the show at 10.30am and left at 11.30pm.....(13 hours, not a bad effort).

I will probably come back to this post a bit later tonight and add more to it, at the moment it is 11am the next morning and it's time to hit town again.

its samara now :)

the festival was really fun and we saw Fergie at the very end of the nite but there was only limited tickets to see her...they were free but we got some...she finished at 11pm and dad got me a blue singlet with her on it.....first i wanted a white t-shirt but they only had a XXL in mens so it may have been a teenie bit big... :)

today we went on an underground tour of some old buildings in seattle....when they first built them they were at street level but now they are underground....you can see windows and stuff that are still there..
k im going now.....
bye
