Slog - Comments on Friday on Bumbershoot's Mind http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/friday_on_bumbe Venerable Seattle arts festival Bumbershoot has announced it will delete Friday from its Labor Day Weekend extravaganza (it takes place for the 36th time this year September 2-4 at Seattle Center). Friday traditionally has been the weakest day for the fest in both attendance and aesthetics. On Bumbershoot's website, festival producer Heather Smith explains the cut from four days to three, "We decided to consolidate every single programming dollar into three days instead of four for maximum impact.

One year I saw the Shins, Quasi and Modest Mouse on Friday. Who can say that's light on talent now? Friday is for the up-and-comers, not the big national draws.
