Bumbershoot = WASTE OF MONEY.
Agreed. The last time I went was years and years ago, and only because I wanted to see Tina Turner.
The sound system was tiny and pathetic and completely unsuited for the size of the building and the crowd.
The crowd was milling around during the performance, only half-interested.
It was a complete waste of time and money and I felt sorry for Tina. She puts a lot into every show and I was embarrassed at the disrespect she was shown by both the crowd and the organizers.
I've never gone to Bumbershoot again and I avoid that entire area of town even more than usual on Labor Day weekend.
