Among the many non-musical offerings at Bumbershoot will be a special appearance by "The Outsiders" and "Rumblefish" author S.E. Hinton, a poetry reading curated by Spencer Moody of the Murder City Devils and the The Seattle-Moscow Poster Show. An entire kids program, Youngershoot, will be announced this summer.
