Interview with Seattle's Yoga Bitch Suzanne Morrison

If you’re into feeling even worse about yourself after a summer-y weekend of too many BBQs, beers and smokes—just swing by Elliott Bay Book Co. where triathlete and bicycle marathon veteran Amy Snyder will be reading from her book, Hell on Two Wheels. She’s telling the story of those wild folks who travel over 3,000 miles across the country on a bicycle. Oh, and they do it in less than twelve days. Needless to say, Snyder encountered some crazy stories and circumstances as she followed the participants in the 2009 Race Across America—she infiltrated their lives before, during, and after the competitions
and came up with some intriguing stuff.
When Thurston Moore Reads Poetry to Me...
Now that we’re all very aware that Capitol Hill Block Party is in full swing (as if you can really ignore those throbbing beats coming from Pine St.), it’s time to geek out a little bit about the fact that Thurston Moore—the man most famous for his gig with Sonic Youth—had a poetry reading Friday night at Elliott Bay Book Co. I was among the throng of people crowded at the main stage while Moore performed from his new, Beck-produced solo album, Demolished Thoughts. The introspection of his latest music lends itself well to poetry, so it actually wasn’t too much of a stretch to scurry over to the bookstore after his performance for a reading of the poems in his CD liner.

We've got quite a week coming up in Seattle--make some time to attend any of these events, there's a variety for you!
