Pierce County Prosecutor and author Mark Lindquist has a lot of famous friends. Dude dated Molly Ringwald, for god sake. I mean c'mon. Not only does he know a lot of famous people, he's not above using their names to raise a little dough - as evident by the fact he'll be auctioning off autographed books and bottles of wine Saturday at King's to help support his campaign. Perfect if you like stuff signed by famous people, or just want to hear Lindquist talk about the time he accidentally cockblocked Anthony Michael Hall.
