Cant Miss It: Monday
READING: We love to eat fish, but have been struggling with the morality of it since A) we don't eat other meat and B) we know commercial fishing is often environmentally unsound. In our research to discover if any fish is okay for a tree-hugging, animal anthropomorphizer to eat, we found Taras Grescoe and his book Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood which Salon says tells readers to ask the right questions to "make it possible to enjoy seafood for years to come." Roscoe (Updated: Duh. We totally misspelled his name. It's Grescoe. Not sure where we got Roscoe. Sorry.) is at Elliot Bay tonight and we hope to have a tuna melt with his new book afterwards.

MUSIC OF REMEMBRANCE: All things change. It's a truth that we live by because it gives us hope. Even the worst things imaginable come to an end. But that doesn't mean they should be forgotten. 63 years ago this month, Allied troops started liberating Nazi concentration camps. Ever since then, people have been working hard to make sure no one ever forgets the horrors that took place in an effort to keep them from happening again. Tonight, Music of Remembrance presents an annual performance to commemorate the Holocaust's victims and honor their lives. Tonight's performance includes a world premiere of a composition by Paul Schoenfield called Ghetto Songs. The Northwest Boychoir will also sing Yiddish choral music originally performed in Terezin, a concentration camp for Jewish artists.

DON'T COUNT HER OUT: Tomorrow is yet another primary and, regardless of the last week of news, Hillary is still expected to win in West Virginia. The math may say it's done, but she sure ain't. Hillary could be taking a lesson from Richard Nixon, who defied the odds and came back from a defeat at the hands of JFK which most people believed would be the end of his political aspirations. Of course, now we know better. How'd he do it? According to Rick Perlstein in his book Nixonland, he "harvested the bitterness and resentment" from the Vietnam War and created the ideological divide we all know so well today. Perlstein is speaking tonight at Town Hall.
