I'm going Monday. Can't wait!

@2: My goodness, what's your problem? Bumpershoot isn't my cup of tea either, but that doesn't give you justification for your "values" statement.

Furthermore, such negativity should be outweighed by seeing a whole bunch of young people enjoying music, arts, and celebration on a pretty summer day.

Which includes the young at heart.

Bumbershoot was way cooler and inclusive when it was free for everybody!

@5: Some perspective: Founded in 1971, it was free until 1980 when general passes were $2.50. First day admission remained free until 1987.

You can only beat that drum for so long.
