Never really spoke to them, though I saw them play at parties and my old band That Stupid Club played a NYE gig at the Capitol Theater that they were upwards on the bill at.
I was always significantly more into their old bands (Excuse 17 and Heavens to Betsy) though I only liked those groups. I always felt like Sleater-Kinney became famous because the media showed up in Oly looking for the biggest "riot grrl" band they could find and Bikini Kill had just broken up. I've never hated a note they played, but never been particularly excited by it either.
I took money from Corin Tucker at the Kinko's I worked at in 1993 (which was coincidentally located on Pacific Ave and Sleater-Kinney...) and that's about the extent of any personal interaction I ever had with any of them.
