Get Your Kicks NYC Book Release – 10.17.13
I am on the way back from my trip to Miami this weekend and I had meant to get these photos up already but I didn’t have time to work on this post until I got to the airport. On Thursday before I left for this trip I threw the New York release for my book “Get Your Kicks” at Mishka’s 350 Broadway location in Brooklyn. There was no art show with this release so I didn’t push it as hard so it was significantly more subdued than the wild LA book release but it was a lot of fun.
Sailor Jerry provided free booze and we played this Drop The Lime Route 66 themed rockabilly mix that he curated for the show. A ton of my favorite people showed up and I actually think I sold more books at the NYC event because I had a chance to really talk to everyone and the books were a bit easier to see. They were more the star of the show instead of the art gallery in LA.
The highlight of the show was a girl getting so drunk that she tried to take off her pants and piss in the middle of the store. She got dragged outside, dropped her pants and pissed right in front of the store while everyone watched. Surprisingly I decided against taking photos until she tried to get back into the store which was hilarious. Gawker’s Camille Dodero Tweeted that it was the first book party she had ever been to where someone was thrown out. This is something I am very proud of.
Complex wrote up the book too but there was no mention of the pissing drunk lady but I will take what I can get!
I am so proud of my Route 66 photo book and I am so glad these release parties are over. I am going to be sending out over 100 of them towards the end of this week so if you want to buy a copy I would suggest you do so ASAP cause I am leaving town again in a week and you might not get a book if you don’t get on it. So buy one now! Get your Get Your Kicks!
Thanks everyone for coming out to both events and thanks everyone who has already bought and will buy my book!
