Narrative:
Turned aircraft over to copilot momentarily -- had been cleared chins arrival to bfi. Center, in an apparent female trainee, asked if we were going direct to snomy intersection as cleared (making it not a chins arrival). Copilot said he was proceeding direct to yakima for the chins arrival. The controller then mumbled something about an air show in yakima (not given as a preflight precaution in my briefing) then began to tell the copilot to call center control supervisor upon landing. At this point, I took over and cancelled IFR clearance.
