Can't Miss It: Tuesday
CRAZY RUGGED: Have you ever thought about walking to Canada? How about Alaska? Erin McKittrick and her husband Bretwood "Hig" Higman did just that, but instead took it one step further by making their way to the Aleutian Islands using only their feet, skis, and a raft. Not only did they live to tell about it in their new book A Long Trek Home: 4000 Miles by Boot, Raft and Ski, but the dynamic duo will be in Seattle tonight for a reading and discussion on their rugged, incredulous journey. We actually got to see this manuscript as a forthcoming work a couple years ago, and for all you hikers out there--this is one not-to-be-missed unbelievable tale. Talk about reducing your carbon footprint!

THE HULK WRESTLES LIFE: Hulk Hogan will be in town tonight promoting his latest tell-all, My Life Outside the Ring, and Third Place Books makes it very clear on their website: SIGNING ONLY. So in case you didn't catch up on enough of the Hogan drama in the past couple years and you're in dire need of having your very own almost thirty-dollar book signed--tonight is your night! Expect plenty of muscle flexing and a line, most likely a very long one.
5-7 p.m. // Third Place Books (LFP), 17171 Bothell Way NE // FREE
DATE NIGHT: Your girlfriend will love you for taking her to see Beeswax tonight--we promise. Touted as "a humorous and heartfelt look at family, responsibility, and relationships," Beeswax is the third feature film from "mumblecore" movement writer-director Andrew Bujalski. If you enjoyed Bujalski's previous films Funny Ha Ha or Mutual Appreciation, make sure to put his latest on your short list because it will only be showing until Thursday.
7, 9:00 p.m. // Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Avenue // Tickets: $6-9.00
