If you enjoyed our recent excerpt from Rick Anderson’s new book, and want to hear more about the happily corrupt decades that preceded the rise of Seattle Nice, tune in to KUOW at lunchtime. Ross Reynolds, host of “The Conversation” (and our recent pick for Best Public Radio Gabber) taped a sit-down interview last night with Rick at the Nite-Lite (where Frank Colacurcio once had a topless bar called the Fire Lite). Their exchange will air at 12:20.And if you’ve just gotta see Rick in the flesh, he reads at the Seattle Mystery Book Shop on Saturday the 20th. And if you simply can’t wait and must order the entire volume online, it’s here.
