What to do on a Wednesday night? The Symphony is playing the hits (of classic video games, that is), meanwhile the Castaways at the Can Can is putting some of their finest, erm, talent on display. Who knew Hump Day could be so wickedly fun?
Can't Miss It: Wednesday
More on Bumbershoot Sunday
Our Sunday began with deja vu from Saturday, as Shim ended their set at the Sky Church a full twenty minutes early. We don't know about you, but if we were a little band with a big captive festival crowd, we'd take advantage of our hour-long slot by any means necessary. If we didn't have enough original content, we'd fill our set with covers (or "covers"), songs we'd never played for an audience before, spoken word, and/or a straight-up soapbox delineation of our hopes and dreams. But we definitely would not end our set early.
Sunday's Bumbershoot Best Bets
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.
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-verse
Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner's Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest's crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods.
