You can do this right here, and print out your biz.

It is disappointing, and small (recall the old joke about the man who complains the food is bad at a restaurant, then adds, "And such small portions!"—but I felt it my duty to warn you anyway). A crammed tent, a scattered pavilion, and a handful of underwhelming constructions in the skate park.

• Take a break from the rat race at Bumbershoot, by running this giant, electricity-producing hamster wheel.

I'm told there's live music and stuff at Bumbershoot, but the biggest attraction will surely be the Toyota Prius Playground, where you'll get a chance to generate electricity to power the festival by operating stationary bicycles and a gigantic hamster wheel.

• Free snow cone! (Attractive woman licking your ear, not included.)

You can watch how much power you're generating by following a real time display of energy production and consumption within the playground, and best of all, after three minutes of pedaling/hamstering, you'll be rewarded with a free snow cone made by the power you generated. Cool. Literally.

The Prius Playground, a partnership with the not-for-profit Global Inheritance, is intended to inspire youth to think creatively about energy solutions, but all you really need to know is giant hamster wheel and free snow cones! So what's not to like?

See it right over here.

White people at Bumbershoot inundate Tilson with stupid questions!

These three posts were right next to each other.

Just what it sounds like. Read gems like these:

BOAT

(Mon, 2 pm, EMP) Now these guys are fun. They aren't reinventing rock music, but they are totally your guys if you don't care about the reinvention of rock music. They'd rather spend time making giant cardboard Diet Cokes in their garage to wave around onstage and writing songs that require D. Crane's guy-next-door voice to break and slide around, and if there is any excuse to let some idiot who doesn't know how to play a xylophone come up and plunk out a xylophone solo, they will totally let him do that. Also, sometimes there is confetti. CF

LMFAO

(Sun, 9:15 pm, Fisher Green) In the summer of 2009, two willfully dumb, powerfully repetitive novelty rap songs proved impossible to escape: Das Racist's "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" and LMFAO's "I'm in Miami Bitch." At first, these songs, and their creators, seem cut from the same cloth, but a moment's consideration reveals them to be dramatic opposites. LMFAO's Stefan and Skyler Gordy are literal heirs of Motown's Berry Gordy; Das Racist's Victor Vazquez and Himanshu Suri were born to first-generation immigrant parents. When LMFAO name-check Red Bull and Vans, it reads as blank-faced endorsement; when Das Racist talk about Taco Hut and Pizza Bell, they're examining how a "space is transformed by a corporate language from one single physical space to a number of illusory spaces... to expand the illusion of choice" (as they wrote in the Village Voice). LMFAO collaborate with Lil Jon; Das Racist reference Edward Said. In short: LMFAO are thoughtless celebrators; Das Racist are celebratory thinkers. LMFAO are playing Bumbershoot 2010; Das Racist are not. EG

AROUND THE WORLD IN 50 MINUTES

(Sat, 3:30 pm, SIFF Cinema) From a description of a South African short, Superhero, in this global section of the festival: "A guy wakes up in the middle of an arid landscape dressed in a superhero outfit and has no idea who he is or how he got there." This man has to be Nelson Mandela suffering from amnesia. CHARLES MUDEDE

Inside:

Young People vs. Bob Dylan! ("I think I'm being pretty generous to the guy. He's got some great songs, but these days, whatever he's doing, not very many people seem to be hearing about it.")

Courtney Love vs. Courtney Love! ("Having perused several pages of Google search results for "Hole 2010 concert review," I can surmise that there are three basic flavors of Courtney-Love-on-tour-in-2010: 1. Inexhaustible Psycho Mess Courtney, 2. Boring Botox Robot Courtney, 3. Crazy Lightning-Rod of Brilliance Courtney")

Weezer vs. No Longer Young People! ("If Cuomo had gone into hiding for good, he would've been revered as a god, worshipped on a par with Neutral Milk Hotel hermit Jeff Mangum or the late recluse J. D. Salinger. Instead, Weezer returned with 2001's self-titled "Green Album.")

And so, so much more. Read it all HERE (or here, or here).
