Bumbershoot is almost here, and while we're all excited to see Wu-Tang in Memorial Stadium, we're a little less excited about how long the lines are for beer and booze at this festival. Unfortunately, booze is one of A LOT of things you are not allowed to bring with you to Seattle Center.

Coincidentally, we wrote this article about four ways to sneakily hide booze in everyday objects that would pass inspection and be allowed into the park. But we definitely in no way endorse doing it, because that would be against the rules. So check out these nifty hacks, fellow rule-followers, and definitely don't use them to bring alcohol into Bumbershoot. Or something.
