In the true spirit of consumerist giving, our friends over at Bumbershoot encourage us to save, by spending… no, really. The math works. Swear:

The future of our economy may be uncertain, but one thing is for sure: Bumbershoot is always a great value, no matter what. And that's true now mroe than ever, as we're holding steady on a low, low price for the Insider Deal – Holiday Edition!

For the third year in a row, BumberFans have the exclusive opportunity to pick up a 3-Day Pass to Bumbershoot 2009 for all the good boys and girls on their holiday shoppinglists (yourself included – duh), for the bargain of just $60 each! You do the math: 3 days, 20 venues, 150 performances, just sixty bucks… that's what we call fiscal responsibility!

And hey – if you're trying to go green this season with your holiday giving, remember: it's better for the environment to give experiences instead of stuff! Although tickets won't arrive until next summer, you'll get a merry gift certificate to stuff in your lucky bud's stocking.

But supply is limited, and you know these babies will fly off the shelf. So go ahead and invest a few bucks today in your entertainment future, then mark your calendar for Bumbershoot 2009 (September 5-7 at Seattle Center)!

Get your 3-Day Passes while supplies last, and use the promotional code: STIMULUS.

Have a holly, jolly holiday!

– Your friends at Bumbershoot

No word on exactly how many of these pups are available, but I'm getting mine on payday. Nothing beat the KEXP lounge this past summer, and that DCfC show… come on now – Best! Weekend! Ever!
