- Dear Bumbershoot security, relax, no one came here to blown up Bob Dylan, his lookalikes, or the endless sea of hippies.
- About to watch the Stop Podcasting Yourself Live Podcast. In fact, my Bumbershoot Saturday is all comedy until 5ish.
- They'll never find it! #wellhidden RT @DrunkenGeeBee: @pdxsucks they're looking for your hidden booze.

- Ok, no more #bobdylan ... sorry, this just ain't my thing. #atall #killme ... karaoke downtown instead? Hmmm.
Bottom line? Day one pretty much sucked. I was looking forward to seeing some of the iTunes Podcaster Superstars™ live on stage and instead what I got was a few disappointing sets from a smattering of extremely similar comedians, none of whom I was able to identify with at all. Is there a law out there now that states that all modern comedians have to ramble endlessly about pop culture? I get it, pop culture is a "thing" right now but still – whatever happened to poking fun at life, love, and the pursuit of happiness? You can only hear so many fucking jokes with movie tie-ins and references to LiLo, Paris, et al, before you tune out, or at least I do anyway.
As for the music? Bob Dylan has all the personality of a half-empty box of plastic toothpicks and the rest was even more forgettable.
BFD.
Tomorrow.... Weezer! Hole! and.... some other stuff.
