Local personality and all-around fun guy Clark Humphrey is working on his next book, and he’d like your help.

Clark’s been around the Seattle scene longer than I’ve been alive. He wrote for The Stranger for a while and is the man behind Loser, The Real Seattle Music Story. When you can get him talking, he’s got some great stories.

So, right, he’s working on a new book about our town. Says Clark, “It’ll be a picture book all about fondly remembered local bygones–restaurants, stores, TV/radio personalities, buildings, landmarks, tourist attractions, and more.” He’s asking you to submit your suggestions for these topics, which you can email to him at vanish@miscmedia.com. I know that you’ve all got ideas–if there’s one thing we like to talk about in this city, it’s how much better it used to be.

Also, and this is largely unrelated, I wanted to make sure that you have all read this article from The Stranger about Saturday morning’s shooting, told by the people who were there. It’s haunting and awful and torturous to read, but essential all the same.
