This is crazy-awesome coverage. 31 bands? And photos? And all the reviews are up before I even signed on, bleary-eyed, on a Monday morning?

This was my first Block Party, and I just want to thank Seattle at large for being so completely rad. You're all amazingly foxy people, and you put on a hell of a show.
Also, cream cheese on a hot dog? My arteries say no, but my taste buds say yes. I love you, Seattle People.

Way too crowded, sometimes impossible to get from one stage to another, which was not fun.

So am I the only one who thought they spotted Anthony Bourdain (of Travel Channel/No Reservations fame)in the beer garden?

Of course no mention of Zeke. I guess they're not "sparkly" enough...
