I wonder if the reliance on named acts was because the event was a benefit for the center and they wanted to keep the stage full of national type acts? Another possibility could involve speaker fees, which were donated to 826 Seattle. I don't know if Bumbershoot/OneReel have rules about compensation for performers and how these theoretical rules would have applied to additional readers. Of course, this is all completely speculative. When I’ve seen McSweeney’s types appear at bookstores, they usually bring a couple of locals along for the ride.
