When Leslie asked me a while back if I wanted to go to Bumbershoot with her to see Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, I only had to think about it for 2 seconds before saying yes. I was so bummed that I hadn't gotten to see them the last time they were in town and I knew that they would put on a pretty amazing hometown show to close out summer. We met up for some beers and dinner beforehand then headed to Memorial Stadium at the Seattle Center to get some good seats and settle in. When the sun went down the show began and it was one of the most fun concerts I've been to in a long time. You can tell they have the best time up there rapping and dancing and wearing the most insane costumes, and everyone in the audience, young and old, were having a blast. Even the Seahawks came out at the end of their theme song "Can't Hold Us" {Suze - I kept wishing you were there to dance with me!} and threw footballs into the crowd! These guys have so much love for the city they come from and it's so awesome to hear them rapping about things like the Mariners and streets in Seattle that so define this place. And dancing around and singing like a crazy person was a pretty great way for me to enjoy the last days of summer :) Thanks for taking me Leslie - it really was a heck of a show!
