Moisture Festival 2004
I wasn't sure if I still had any of these. But after a bit of searching, I found this image, taken April 1, 2004. Here we have one of the earliest Moisture Festival photographs, taken as publicity for the first festival

Moisture Festival (take 8)
Seven years ago I took some photographs to promote an upcoming new vaudeville and varieté festival called the Moisture Festival. Little did we know that this show which started in a circus tent in a parking lot in Fremont (Seattle, WA) would quickly grow to be one of, if not the largest vaudeville festivals in the world.
I don't remember how many shows we did the first year. I was in one of the house bands at that time and didn't take photos of the shows. I think it went for two weekends. This year it goes for almost a month and has more than 50 shows spread out through 4 venues.
The 8th Annual Moisture Festival kicks off this week on Thursday night. Instead of showing photos of the shows, I picked out some of my "Faces of the Moisture Festival" backstage photos of performers, staff, and volunteers to share.
The shows all sell out each year, so hurry to get your tickets.
Enjoy!

The Moisture Festival
It is almost here! The 8th Moisture Festival, featuring vaudeville, circus, aerial, burlesque, and more. Tickets are already on sale for the 50 or so shows taking place at Hales Palladium, ACT Theater, Georgetown Ballroom, Open Space for Arts and Community (on Vashon Island), and SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival).
Things got started last night with a Valentine's Day fundraiser at Hales Palladium. It felt great to be back "home" there. Love the lights! Here are a few images from last night's show, featuring Mae West (Caela Bailey), Acrophelia & Dr. Calarmari, and Hugh Sutton (Salamity Clam).
Michelle Bates, Mark Gardinder, and I have also put together a book of photos from the first seven years of the Festival that you can find on the festival website. Please note that the bookstore listed there (Fremont Place Books) is sadly closing their doors at the end of February 2010.
