Musicfest NW 2008 Picks

I happened upon a free Musicfest NW bracelet this week so I've been thinking about which shows I'll attend. As with any music festival there are some serious decisions to be made.

Looking at the performers, I'm glad that I passed on Bumbershoot this year. Nearly every band that I would have wanted to see at B-shoot is playing MFNW.
