Built to Spill headlines this Ballard festival on April 2nd, bringing their guitar-heavy indie rock to an outdoor setting where you can also eat seafood. The venue doubles as a gallery and shop for local Washington artists, so there's actual stuff to look at between sets. It's free, which helps justify the trip even if you're mainly there for the food.
