Two months ago it was not raining in Seattle. Another one of Seattle’s delightful cliches happened to be center stage: music. The annual Capitol Hill Block Party took over the intersection of Pike & Broadway during the last weekend in July. I, with camera in hand, hit the two day festival with Sharat (among others). In addition to a great lineup, the weekend was sufficiently stocked with hipsters, hipster altercations (the now infamous Peter-chair incident), Girl Talk nonsense, and PBR.

Although CHBP 2k8 reviews are hardly newsworthy now that we are in September; I always planned on posting some of the 1,600 pictures I made during the weekend. Look for write-ups featuring the Fleet Foxes, Devotchka, Girl Talk, Vampire Weekend and a few others.
