Life is funny. One night you go to a play about some guy who has 5 days to figure out a screenplay for Gone With The Wind, another night the play's about some guy who has 9 days to figure out why he has 9 days left to live. In the first case, you end up with a collection of deleted scenes from The Producers. In the second case, you start with a refresher course in the Manhattan Project, and then it's down the rabbit hole.

Man, is there a LOT of Bumbershoot stuff on Seattlest right now. If you're anything like Editor Dan you're hoping for a break in the Bumber action; a contributor's recounting of a trip to Lake Chelan, a reaction to a dunderheaded Seattle Times editorial, or even some lame PR survey naming Seattle 16th Most Fashionable City West of the Rockies.
