Although I've lived in Seattle for eight years now, I've only been to the Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival three times, and only once for the whole event. In 2005, despite having a four-day pass, I ended up going only on Saturday and Monday, and I did not have a camera so I have no photos from that year's festival. In 2008, I did go for all three days (they stopped doing Friday events) and took a bunch of photos; last year I only went on Saturday, mainly because I got a volunteer shift for the KEXP booth, but also to see Hotels, who were the only band I photographed.
