What else is going on in Seattle this weekend?There are two other major events going on in Seattle drawing thousands of visitors into town. If you want, you can choose some time to visit some of these other events in addition to XL: Bumbershoot Bumbershoot®: Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival is now in its 41st year. Since 1971, Bumbershoot has drawn artists representing the best in music, film, comedy, spoken word, dance, theatre, performance, and visual arts to the Seattle Center over Labor Day weekend. North America’s largest urban arts festival, Bumbershoot takes place in the heart of the city at the 74-acre Seattle Center. Over 100,000 visitors from near and far spend the weekend reveling in the world of Bumbershoot, experiencing everything from regional favorites to international superstars across all arts disciplines. www.Bumbershoot.org Penny Arcade Expo PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we've got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games. prime.paxsite.com/Connect with us on FacebookI'm sure you'll see more than just a few of these faces out and about at XL Weekend:2012 PhotosCheck out photos from the 2012 event:
