Walkabout 2015 Day 3: Bumbershoot

Most of the day was spent wandering around Seattle Center watching various acts I have never heard of.  One act that some how struck a chord with me was Moon Hooch.  They are a saxophone duo with a drummer that plays dance music. 

Neko!!

More Neko!

 

Nifty place for a festival.

Support Our Green Mountain Gingers

Even if you bought tickets to her concert in Cologne and thought it was for the Tuesday after you got back from Italy and not that Sunday you got back from Italy that even if you did remember she was a 15 minute train ride away you were way too tired to even think about going.

Music Monday: Neko Case’s This Tornado Loves You

It’s the return of Music Monday.  And since I was stranded in Vermont last week due to Hurricane Sandy, I could think of no better way to bring back Music Monday then to feature my favorite Vermont resident I’m not related to and her song This Hurricane Tornado Loves You.

 

On the next Music Monday….

Happy Belated Leap Second

An observant reader of this blog would have by now noticed that The Summer of Steve is not exactly the go to place for up to the minute breaking news weather and traffic on the eights.  Current events are seldom even alluded to, much less discussed in depth.  Since I am always striving to improve my blog*, I will rectify this deficiency, at least for the benefit of creating a comedy bit.

So, it seams we had ourselves a leap-second this weekend.  Unfortunately, I forgot all about it until it had already passed.  But that does not deter me from creating a tried and true comedy staple:  the funny list.  So here is a list of the things I could have done with that extra second had I remembered to do something with it.**

• Curse JT an additional time for tagging me on pictures of food he knows I would want in my face.
• Contemplate going to see Magic Mike
• Vote for Yu Darvish for the last AL All-Star choice.
• Sex with Neko Case ***
• Write a list of things I could have done with an extra second****
• Fall off my bike*****
• Finally drop True Blood from my Season Pass list.
• Actually leap once
• Learn to use a ridiculous number of footnotes.******

 

---

* For those dozen or so days a year I actually give two shits about it.
** Sorry for the long setup.  And yes I chose a leaping penguin for the picture because penguins are always funny.
*** Obvious joke is obvious.
**** I didn’t say a funny list.
***** Actually did that.
****** That too.

Neko Case Brings the Funny to 2012

Vermont resident, New Pornographers band member, Twitter savant and frequent participant in this blogger’s most deviant of fantasies, Neko Case has started out 2012 burning up Twitter with her comedy stylings.  Please to enjoy:

 

 

 

 

 

• 2011, you tried to be as shitty as 2010 and failed! Which makes you even more pathetic! Good riddance you soul sucking troll!
• ***all tweets represent the personal grievances and disappointments of miss case. Happy new year to the rest of you. Xo
• 2011.Feel like I just got out of the State Penn and now I'm gonna go hang at a random laundry mat. I have just enough cash to bleach myself.
• In other words, I was roughly finger-banged by the mayonnaise-y, frat-boy hands of 2011.
• Time to change out of this unflattering robe and into a animal print snuggie. 2012 is about comfort and embracing my "benign gender" status.
• My vagina is now the lint catcher in my dryer! #Genderbenign2012
• I was just kidding about my vagina! It's right over there in front of the fridge drinking milk straight out the carton!

 

Although the funniest Tweet of the day:
