Time to pull out the white shoes for one last wearing before summer officially fades away and the kiddies go back to school.
Labor Day weekend is, well, this weekend.  What are you going to do?
The Weekly Volcano suggests:

Head north to Seattle
Though we're generally advocates of staying home, this might just be the perfect time to venture out to the Emerald City, with Bumbershoot, the universe's largest music/arts/theater/literary/human mass festival, heating up the end of summer in Seattle.  Most intriguing to me, Saturday will showcase Blondie early on the main stage (2:15 to 3:30 p.m.) Sunday will have the New Pornographers and Spoon on the main stage. The New Pornographers hit the stage at 1 p.m. Monday, another blast from the past, the English Beat, will play the Bumbrella stage at 9:30 p.m. 
There is also an interesting-sounding flat track roller derby at the Key Arena, and two stages of comedy.  Asssscat with Upright Citizens Brigade sounds fun on Sunday and Monday at Charlotte Martin Theater, 3 to 4 p.m.
The beautiful thing about Bumbershoot: one purchase price gets you into all the events you can imagine.  A one day pass is $30, while a 3 day pass (September 2-4) is $80.  Go to their Web site for complete schedule, tickets and directions.

Seattle, part deux
Are you ready for some football?  Seahawks play Sept. 2 at 6 p.m., and the University of Washington Huskies plays on Saturday, Sept. 3 at 12:30 p.m.

Yeehaw!
Not into football, but you want some hard-charging action? Head east to the Wild West, rodeo style!  The Roy Rodeo is happening on Sept. 2, 3 and 4, and the Ellensburg Rodeo, even further east (over the mountains!) is hitting the town of Ellensburg from Aug. 31 to Sept. 5.

Folk festival
Not into a long drive, but you want music, music, music? Just over the Narrows Bridge in Gig Harbor, at Skansie Park, the Gig Harbor Folk Festival will showcase 19 artists Sept. 2-3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Stay put
What's that? You really really don't want to leave the South Sound? Some notable events over the weekend in town:
urbanXchange hosts Don't Tell Sophie on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.,
The town of Ruston is having a festival, and perennial favorite Point Defiance is a good place to hang out and act as if you drove a long distance.
Also, this weekend is your last chance to see the "Roy Lichtenstiein: American Indian Encounters" exhibit at the Tacoma Art Museum. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
