Ex-Local Guy Phil Campbell Rocking the Mic Tonight

Phil Campbell. We interviewed this guy previously, and that should have been enough to make you go buy Zioncheck For President. Seriously, how hard is it to buy a book these days. It takes two minutes. Now you own the book and it's buried somewhere in your "to read" stack. The Stranger excerpted it and you maybe bumped it up to the top of the pile. Still not good enough. Put down that pretentious crap you've been slugging through and read Zioncheck For President. Now. You'll like it. You'll fly through it. You'll wonder if you're in it (you're not).

From our interview:

Funny how that statement reminds me of William Faulkner's quote - "The past is never dead. It's not even past." I'd never thought that very Southern idea could be applied to Seattle. Seattle's supposed to be the metropolis of the future, not a place mired in its own problems.

Oh yeah, he's at Elliot Bay Books tonight.
