Bothell, Wash. – This Saturday, downtown Bothell hosts the town’s annual block party and brew fest, featuring a lineup of countless seven bands as well as local craft beers with no more clever IPA names. To show its support, Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party decided to give Bothell Block Party twenty dollars.
“Go and get yourself something nice,” CHBP told BPP, paternally. “Maybe a rock band or two! Oh, or maybe a pack of glow sticks! Those things are really fun.”
But Bothell Block Party & BrewFest wasn’t having it.
“I don’t need your money, Capitol Hill!” the bedroom community-no-more shouted. “I’m my own grown-up music festival, and I’m sick of you treating me like a baby block party.”
Bothell Block Party later agreed to sit down with The Needling to discuss its strained relationship with the senior Capitol Hill music festival.
“I wish CHBP would just mind its own business,” the young, up-and-coming festival told us. “Same with Bumbershoot, Upstream, Fisherman’s Village Festival — all of them just don’t understand I’m ready for the big time! And is Folklife Festival even still alive anymore?”
By press time, Bothell Block Party had stormed out of the house upon hearing Capitol Hill Block Party on the phone trying to convince The Stranger “to come out this weekend because it would really mean so much.”
