Bumbershoot - Day 3 - Macklemore

Day 3 was all about Macklemore. He is a local artist, born and raised in Seattle. Hit it "big" through Myspace (I think) a few years ago. We try and see him every chance we get. He plays some of the bars in Oly every once an a while.

I've got to say, out of all three days, Macklemore's show was my favorite. Maybe it was because we came really wanting to see HIS show, maybe it was because we got there an hour early and were front and center (awesome!) or maybe it was just his incredible energy and the energy of all his guests!

Okay, enough talking... time for pics!

Bumbershoot - Day 2

I guess I didn't take many pics on Sunday. We saw a comedy show (no cameras allowed) and some shows at night. And without a flash on my camera right now - its pretty much useless at night.

We saw Aziz Ansari (the Indian guy from Parks and Recreation.) We were trying to see Nick Swardson (Terry, Reno 911-RIP), our favorite comic, but he was a last minute cancellation and Ansari filled in. He was surprisingly SUPER funny dude and a great surprise to see!

AND Doug Benson and Sarah Silverman opened for him, and they weren't even billed! That was an awesome surprise!

And here we are...

back at the motel getting cozy. We spent quite a bit of time in the room... enjoying each other... wonderful!

"Emo" re-entry stamps for Day 1 - Hubs was thrilled.


Our sleezy, cheap, shoebox size motel... that just happened to be a 10-ish minute walk from Bumbershoot and had free covered parking.



Got coffee here every morning. Despite being a NW native I am VERY anti-Starbucks. I prefer coffee from ANYWHERE else!


Not sure what kind of shop this is... but it was right by our hotel and I thought it was kinda funny. Rubber chickens, WTF?!?! I think it may have been some sort of Asian resturaunt?


KATY PERRY!! LUVS!!


Hubs enjoyed Katy Perry... very much. LMAO!


Hoofing it back and forth to the motel between shows to relax... and get drinks...


This is how we roll when we dont have Goose for the WHOLE WEEKEND!


Changing up the outfit a bit for the afternoon...


The Space Needle, after dark. Beautiful!


Saying goodnight for Day 1!

Labor Day Weekend

Hubs and I went to Bumbershoot, a music festival in Seattle this weekend. It was the first time we have taken a vacation together, just the two of us, since Goose was born. Sure, we have had date nights and she has spent the night at the Grandparents... but WE have never taken a vacation!

We didn't even get a honeymoon since I was 5 months pregnant at the time of our wedding. And since this coming up 11th is our 10 year annaversairy (of dating), we thought we would go all out and really treat ourselves. So, we booked a hotel and snagged our three day passes and saw some incredible art!

I needed this weekend. WE needed this weekend. I feel zen - music and art refules my soul and feeds my need to create!

Anyway, I took a TON of freaking pics and will be posting them shortly. Still need to pick and chose and upload and edit. I'll probably post them by day, seems to be the easiest way, at least I think...

LUVS and HUGS and I will be back shortly with LOTS of pictures to post!

PS - Can anyone tell me who started the trend of wearing leggings and shirts? Whatever happened to pants? Or heaven forbid a skirt. perhaps? If anyone knows, please tell me. I am completely baffeled at the amount of fat asses I saw squeezed into leggings w/ no pants. Gross! I seriously wonder what some of the women were thinking when they got dressed. Um, you know its Seattle? It's cold and rainy? Yeah... that fancy dress and heels ain't gonna look so hot when you look like a half-drowned cat. Just my two cents.
