Ex-Seattleite, ex-Stranger-nic and ex-grassroots campaign manager Phil Campbell wrote a book that we loved about Grant Cogswell's run for City Council in the wake of WTO. The book is Zioncheck for President, which we've discussed with Phil in the past. Now Stephen Gyllenhaal has bought the rights to the film adaptation and plans to produce the thing DIY style here in Seattle.

Past Seattlest interviewee Phil Campbell wrote an opinion piece for the Seattle Times this week on the subject of race relations in Seattle. Not really a subject which Seattlest has spent a lot of time on previously, and that's exactly the point of his article: It's not really a subject that any publication in Seattle devotes a lot of time to.

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).
