Help a Music Festival

You know, we love nothing more than a music festival (okay that's a lie, our number one true love is Jupiter Jones of the Three Investigators Series, but we fear that will be unrequited).

In order to satisfy our cravings for a music festival, the incredibly nice people at the Northwest Programs for the Arts have organized the Seattle Music Festival at Alki Beach. They have gathered some pretty cool acts including They Might Be Giants, the United States of Electronica (who really should take a stance on this whole flag-burning amendment), and Karma. The festival is in August and you can be sure that we will be there (though we will be a little cranky if it hasn't gotten sunny by then).

The reason that we are letting you know about this festival now is that the good people behind it are seeking donations to help them put on this show. If you are feeling even slightly liquid or like to encourage the local music scene, we wholeheartedly encourage you to make a donation, since its a good cause.

To quote the Executive Director Adam Sheridan, "The Seattle Music Fest benefits the entire community as one of the few events exposing local musicians to a larger audience. We hope people will act quickly to preserve this Seattle tradition."

Who doesn't want more music festivals? You know who, the same people who are really excited about the 'Fantastic 4' movie and do you really want to be associated with them? We didn't think so.
