However I DO love trawling the lower tiers of local festivals to ferret out the latest in terrible band names. At least poopershoot has a lot to offer in that regard:
SPLATINUM Com Truise III Cosby Purity Ring Valient Thorr Witchburn

Haha, Bumbershoot's lineup this year does seem to be a bit out in left field and catered more towards the indie crowd than in years passed. I think Sasquatch's success in the past few years might have something to do with that for sure because Bumbershoot usually pulls in bigger headliners than what they billed for this year.
Seattle is like a 2nd home to me and Bumbershoot is always a blast regardless of the lineup; exactly in the same sense as Sasquatch.

Bumbershoot is a dying festival desperate to try anything to survive. Shame, because I've always wanted to go but this year's lineup is somehow worse than last years. I guess I'll probably never make it.

I bought the any day pass for $30, hoping to have atleast ONE day with a big headliner and a bunch of other awesome bands.
I'm probably gonna go on the second day. I really want to see The Presidents of the United States of America, but the rest of the lineup that day doesn't really interest me.

I guess I'm the only person that despises comedians at music festivals... I'm with you. I'm pretty apathetic towards stand up comedians to begin with; I have absolutely zero desire to go see one at a music festival.

Yeah I really don't give a shit about stand up comics. Unless it's someone I REALLY REALLY love. Like Donald Glover.

I was in the same boat as you guys until this year. I'd never seen a comedian at Sasquatch, but this year I watched Tig Notaro and Reggie Watts. It was such an awesome break from sun and loud music and everything. I wouldn't miss a band I really wanted to see for a comedian, but during those gaps when nothing looks good, it was nice.
And Reggie Watts was fucking awesome.

Man, I'm such a damn black sheep. The comedy lineup was possibly the main reason I went to Sasquatch in '09.
