It’s Labor Day weekend. There are pretty much two things happening. Either you’re going out of town or you’ll end up at Bumbershoot. If you somehow escape these fates, a few good times await here on Capitol Hill. Add your neighborhood events to the free CHS Calendar. Oh, it’s also PAX weekend. Any weirdness you see out and about can probably be explained by that.
