Can't Miss It: Monday

Bumbershoot: Cement (and lament?) the fact that summer is over with the last day of Bumbershoot 09. Drown your sorrows in music, art, and funnel cake. Make it a Metric Monday.

All day // Seattle Center

Candy Art: See local artist Betty Merken's new paintings and monotypes in her Good and Plenty Mystery exhibit - while eating! All art should be inspired by candy. Although, we recommend Swedish Fish over Good and Plenties. Duh.

10:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. // Seattle Art Museum TASTE Restaurant // FREE

Better than reality TV: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Zing Zang Zoom show is in town! Did you know circuses still existed?! They do! And this one has a disappearing elephant and a quadruple Russian fire-swing!

1:00 p.m. // ShoWare Center in Kent // Tickets: $15-$75
