Folklife

I went to Folklife Festival yesterday. It was fun to go back ... I hadn't been there since high school or early college. It's a free festival of local, independent, folk-type music. For hippies, you know? There were tons of crafts booths there (market research!) and the people watching was fantastic. The music was fun too. To top it all off, I went to the Seattle International Film Festival at the end of the day and saw "Opium Wars." A wacky and sad movie all at once.

Back to Folklife:
A punk band ... with a flute

Requisite shot of the beautiful surroundings


Audience-participating Haydn chorus

Female rappers with a full backing band, busking.
Some Americana folk
But the BEST PART of the day was this:

And for it I have no words.

Someone needs to tell that guy that the hippy days are over. At the very least they are for him.
