Hey friends,

You might already know that I'm a big environmentalist and usually rally behind much more pressing issues, but today I'm taking a break from that to focus on something truly tragic...

I just found out BumberShoot scheduled Gogol Bordello and DeVotchKa at the SAME TIME! IDIOTS! So to combat it, please send the following message to their email address *and* post it as a myspace comment:

Dear Bumbershoot Schedule Master,

I am HUGELY DISAPPOINTED by your decision to schedule DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello in competitive time slots, on Saturday evening September 1st. Please reconsider! They share a large fan base who would greatly appreciate back-to-back performances from these two excellent bands. Neither comes to Seattle frequently and due to your contract limitations will not be allowed to play another venue in town during this trip. I know several people who would not otherwise go to the festival, but who are attending Bumbershoot this year specifically to see these two bands. At least a few of them are now reconsidering their attendance.

Please RESCHEDULE DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello for the SAME STAGE so their fans can enjoy both of these rare and most excellent performances.

Thanks!
Amy
