Last weekend I was given tickets to attend Bumbershoot as my Father’s Day gift. I had a great time and was able to take August and Dela on Saturday then Kyle and I went on Monday. Sunday was all me, and it was fantastic. I have a lot to write about, as well as a couple of months worth of Music Monday posts as a result. I wanted to start this series off with my twitter stream doing a sort of (admittedly incomplete) overview about the whole weekend.
SATURDAY

Mission Of Burma play immediately after The Replacements. Kind of freaked out a little when I realized this. (cc @chriskramerpr)

I like that Mission Of Burma is still just as challenging to listen to

I keep trying but just can not get into Big Star. Tried again tonight. Maybe live is different. Nope. Same result.

Biggest difference with doing Bumbershoot at 47 instead of 27? Just as much music, just as much beer, but this time I ate more than once.
