Human Giant vs Jesse Thorn

Don't shoot video clips of bands on your phone to post on YouTube. They are always shaky and sound like crap. No one cares that you saw Beck from 300 yards away. It won't make you cool and you might piss Beck off.There was comedy all three days of the Bumbershoot in Seattle this past weekend. Some more Sunday (day two) pics below...Leave the devil sticks, hula hoops, and glow balls at home. It's too crowded for dumb displays of your "individualism." And why give people a reason to make fun of you as they walk by? You know they do that, right? Because we do. All of us.
[from Human Giant's guide to Bumbershoot]
Michelle Buteau...

Janeane Garofalo...


Jesse Thorn (The Sound of Young America Live!)...

Adrian Tomine (TSOYAL!)...

Human Giant (TSOYAL!)...






Rhett Miller of Old 97's (TSOYAL!)...


Chris caught David Cross on day one too.

that dude from human giant is likely the least funny person on earth. when he appeared on Conchords as the banana-stand dude, i almost stopped watching the show for good. he's a moron.

...for comedians, those guys sound like tight asses...I like those glow balls when I am fucked up, have you ever been to a festival?...here are my rules for Bumbershoot, leave your dumb ass bald head and buck teeth at home asshole and have a little fun because everyone is making fun of how you look like a rat when they walk by...

Dude I'm so glad someone posted a picture of a woman and you'd hit it!
Also, Paul Scheer is the least talented Human Giant.

Thanks for posting these BV! I had no idea anyone was even shooting.

Hey, these are really great pictures.
And - excepting Jesse Thorn's - these are really, really terrible comments. Just awful. Who's reading this, 12-year-olds with an IQ of 50?
