Saturday/ Bumbershoot 2012

I always look for the posters for Seattle’s annual music and performing arts festival called ‘Bumbershoot*’.  This one was one a newspaper box on the street.
*Bumbershoot means umbrella! Bumber- (alteration of umbr- in umbrella) + -shoot (alteration of -chute in parachute).  First Known Use: circa 1896. [source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bumbershoot].
