"BumberBrothers" — a video BumberDiary of two friends who united over their love Bumbershoot.
In 1995 my wife Cyndi and I went all three days of Bumbershoot - Ramones, Parliament, tons of others. And while we were just friends on the first day of Bumbershoot, by the 3rd we were dating. We had a long ten years of an on & off relationship, but when we decided to get married we picked Sept 4th, 2005 as our wedding date, the 10th anniversary of our first date at Bumbershoot.

I first experienced Bumbershoot in my 20's and it was everything I needed an arts festival to be: a chance to experience the newest up & coming band, to connect with seasoned veterans, and everything in between - all on MY terms, with MY people. As I've gotten older, I've come to fully appreciate a deeper meaning of Bumbershoot, particularly as I’ve taken my kids to the festival. To paraphrase a quote from the late, great D. Boone: Bumbershoot provides a forum for me to experience the beauty of life through the arts, and allows me to not only teach my kids through it, but to ensure that my kids can teach their kids, too. My all-time favorite Bumbershoot memory so far is what my then five year old said to me while we were wandering through the crowd: "I don't like being my height because all the adult butts are in my face." Priceless. Just like all my Bumbershoot memories. Just like my kids.

Watching David Lee Roth scissor kick in fluorescent yellow karate firefighter/hospital scrubs, and by that I mean they had suspenders, was probably one of the finest Bumbershoot moments I'd been privy to. His tan made George Hamilton look like me. I was with my old roommate Carl, pretty much going hoarse from singing Van Halen really badly. Then we spotted Kim Warnick in the crows nest on the stage. I could practically see her black palm tree hair move from the wind produced by his showmanship turbines. It stays with me until this day. I can almost taste the glazed dougnuts.
