Thanks to KEXP DJ, John Richards for this great one:

My first Bumbershoot was the fall of ‘93, when I moved to Seattle and the Violent Femmes were playing.  I walked into the festival, straight to their performance. I worked my way through the crowd and jumped off the stage and was carried until security escorted me out.  I left, went around and did it all over again and the security gave me a wink, a smile, and said it looked like I was having the time of my life.  I was.  I never left Seattle again and have had a warm place in my heart for Bumbershoot ever since.
