Bitter. Sweet. Self-deprecating. Stacey Grenrock Woods. Experience with her the stirring joys of receiving a Peter Frampton poster for Hanukkah, sitting for a head-shot photo session as a child actress, waitressing Pan-Asian fusion cuisine, having musicians for boyfriends, humiliating people on \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Show\u003c\/i\u003e, and waiting for prescription drugs. Oh, the waiting. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From the idyllic sprout-and-yogurt San Fernando seventies; to the idyllic painter's-cap-and-bandanna eighties; to the idyllic, heroin-clouded Viper Room nineties; to the idyllic Botox-infused present, Stacey Grenrock Woods has experienced a prototypically Southern California life on the margins of fame, which is roughly the equivalent of a prototypical American life, isn't it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\"With nothing more than working knowledge of a keyboard, Stacey Grenrock Woods has triumphed!

I loved every word of it, especially words like 'eczema' and 'greatcoat.' Stacey Grenrock Woods has such an original voice. California is lucky to have her. They should name a stretch of highway after her or something.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e -- A. J.
