You Live By The Sword, You Die By The Sword
Antologia Polski (2:00 p.m.) brings you 50 years of Polish animation, and if you're honest with yourself, this is really the one time in your life you will have the chance to peek inside at SIFF Cinema (north side of McCaw Hall) and see a lot of Seattle's Polish population.
Bumbershoot co-commissioned (with the Noorderzon Festival in the Netherlands) this professional-grade performance with some of New York's burlesque-iest names (Julie Atlas Muz, Dirty Martini, Tigger!, and the trapeze artist Wau Wau Sisters): Apocalypse in Coney Island: A Burlesque Cabaret (3:30 p.m.) on the Rep’s mainstage.
If you're feeling Fantagraphical--and who doesn't from time to time?--there's Comic Sub-Heroes (3:45) with Dan “Ghost World” Clowes and Adrian "Optic Nerve" Tomine, hosted by Ivan "Schizo" Brunetti in the Rep’s smaller Leo K. Theatre.
We enjoyed the slightly snarky gigglefest of Yoga Bitch (4:00 p.m.) at the Center House Stage--"the story about the time Suzanne Morisson fled her temp job to take a 2-month course in Bali on how to be a yoga teacher"--followed by Reefer Madness: The Musical (6:00 p.m.), which we reviewed here, and called "thoroughly pleasing."
In the humor aisle, Janeane Garofalo fans, admirers, and devotees want to catch Satiristas (6:15 p.m., with Marc Maron and Rep. Dick Martin) at Comedy Stage South (aka the Children’s Theatre), which is followed by MTV's “Human Giant” and Friends (8:00 p.m.): Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel and the previously mentioned friends.
And now the musics!
Seattlest Audrey has got your music recommendations right here, buddy! The Lonely H (12:30 p.m.) bring their nouveau rock classique to the EMP Sky Church, with arena-rock Shim (2:00 p.m.) hard on their heels. The Shackeltons (2:30 p.m.) take the Rockstar Stage over on Broad Street, while The Blakes (3:15 p.m.) take their early-60s Brit-rock invasion to the Ex Hall.
Pause for sanity before heading back to the EMP Sky Church for pop-punk Speaker Speaker (6:30 p.m.), then make your choice: head back to Broad Street for Scottish bluesy-country stylings of Sons and Daughters (7:45 p.m.), some Black Keys (7:45 p.m.) rock 'n' roll at the Mainstage, or "summer soundtrack" nominees, The Saturday Knights at the Fisher Green.
What is there to say about The Saturday Knights (7:45 p.m.) that hasn't been said better by Seattlest Katelyn: "Rock out like a fool, rinse with whiskey, and repeat. [TSK] makes you feel like you're driving up I-5 with all the windows down and your best friend's cracking honest-to-God-funny jokes in the backseat."
Waves of festival-goers will part later for Owen Pallett's Final Fantasy (9:15) in the NW Court (aka Wells Fargo Stage) and Stone Temple Pilots (9:15 p.m.) at the Memorial Stadium Mainstage. We don't need to tell you about STP. So we won't.
