too crowded, too small of venue, beer gardens suck big time, back to four days, no seating in beer gardens,

Thanks for writing, LND. You know, I've been seeing a lot of Bumbershoot hater sentiment online, both on our website and the Stranger's, among others. I for one was pleasantly surprised by just how much fun I had this year. I heard loads of great bands and all around had a rockin' good time.

But as someone who was there as a member of the press, I acknowledge that my experience might not have been everyone elses. I'd love to hear from more of you: How was the overall Bumbershoot experience this year? Were you impressed with the bands you saw? Were you able to get in to see everything you wanted to see? Were the crowds and lines manageable?

Let the Bumber-discussion begin!

bumbershoot was cray-cray!!
