Damn. I listen to Golden Ocean on a weekly basis. The mere mention of 50footwave forces me to go listen to it right now.

Rat Girl is an excellent book! I just read it last week. I'd love to go to the reading but have to work. :(

Thank you so much for posting about this - I had no idea that Kristin Hersh had written a book. The conversation was fab and I am looking forward to reading the book this weekend.

And ps - so glad Elliott Bay Books is on Cap Hill.
