It has come to my attention that people are very curious about what local Northwest bands will be playing at Bumbershoot this year (ahem, hi Mad Dog).

I've checked the official Bumbershoot website and have found:

• M. Ward
• Blitzen Trapper 
• The Fall of Troy
• Arthur & Yu
• ADDED: New Faces

But I know they usually wait till closer to the date to annouce the lucky local acts. So — to that end, I propose a good ole fashioned imaginary rumor machine. Friends… Who have you heard is playing? Or who do you hope is playing?
