5:22 PM: Night 2 of West Seattle Summer Fest has begun! Vendors are open until at least 8; music continues until 11 on the main stage (California north of Oregon), until 7 on the West Side Stage north of the food zone (42nd/Alaska) – lineups are here. If you’re looking for dinner, the food vendors are listed here, most on SW Alaska east of California – you’ll also want to stroll the rest of the festival grounds, as some year-round restaurants and bars have temporary sidewalk cafés and/or special vending booths out front. … Community nonprofits have rotated again here in the Info Booth – we have a crew from the West Seattle and Fauntleroy YMCA (WSB sponsor):

They’re on the east side of the booth (with swag bags!) and on the south side, it’s the Morgan Junction All-Wheel Association – come talk with them about the future “skate dot” in Morgan Junction Park:

6:30 PM: We’ve been up to the main stage to get some video of Chimurenga Renaissance (added).

The beer garden, next to the stage (which is on California north of Oregon), is hopping:

Remember that there’s NO main stage tomorrow (Sunday) – that area will be the temporary home of the West Seattle Farmers’ Market. …. Around the festival, just look for the picket fencing to find your nearest sidewalk café – here’s the one outside Snapdragon at California/Oregon:

We mentioned dinner … if you’re up for something from the grill, go see Jack and the Husky Deli crew:

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we said hi to Maari Falsetto from Inner Alchemy – she’s leading another free meditation session from the West Side Stage on Sunday morning, 10 am (we had a photo of this morning’s session in our first Saturday report).

Play ball! The DubSea Fish Sticks (whose season continues at Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center) have reps here to talk to you about baseball:

Other festival sightings – balloon creations, delivered by multiple balloon artists:

7:43 PM: The West Side Stage is shut down for the tonight but tomorrow it’ll be the one and only place to find live festival music. Tonight, though, the main stage goes out big. In the past hour, we stopped by for a bit of M. Krebs:

Still ahead – 8:00, Bowie/Rex & His Boogie Army; 9:00, Walking Papers; 10:00, Sonny & The Sunsets.

8:01 PM: The Info Booth is wrapping up (as are many vendors) but we’ll be back tomorrow, 10 am-5 pm, for the festival finale. Enjoy tonight’s music if you’re staying. Thanks to all the cool folks who have stopped by to say hi!
