Following a roaring weekend of hipster Sasquatch mayhem and Folklife Festival quirkiness

Following a roaring weekend of hipster Sasquatch mayhem and Folklife Festival quirkiness is no easy task, but June was up for the challenge. This month brought otherworldly exhibits, lingerie football tryouts, a clash-of-the-titans roller derby, drool-inducing food, crazed fans, naked bike riders, a doggie drag show, and a whole lot of Pride. Cheers, Seattle, even if the sun didn’t come out often, we still got plenty of color.Published on June 29, 2011
