I did a book called "Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco." When it was a zine, it got voted Best of the Bay by the SF Bay Guardian twice. So, I guess people like it. I got a book deal so my first SF book is out on shelves right now. I'm currently in NY doing a Broke-Ass Stuart book out here. Cool right?

Who I'd like to meet: cult leaders, porn stars, anarchists, athiests, ufo abductees, audiophiles, pizza chefs, country singers, zealots, insomniacs, glen danzig, hobos, carnies, and pervy 50 yr old men pretending to be 18 yr old girls.
Just read your quote in the SD Union Tribune for the AP piece on "Bay to the Breakers". You speak the truth sir!! If you cant run around naked in SF, where then can you run naked!!! lolz. classic
I am on my way right now to the Tuesday night thing :) Change the Beat at Madrone on Divisadero...you should come by one night, we can have a drink and talk all about being young, broke and beautiful :)
funny story actually. i stumbled upon it at the B&N near lincoln center. i was on my way out when the words, young broke and beautiful caught my eye. i was like, yo that's so me.
i digress. I came home and my roommates friends Sue and Liz were over (pair of fine ladies they are) and they are like OMG WE KNOW STU WHERE'D YOU GET THIS squealing like school girls. 'teehee he's so nice and funny we're going to his book signing teehee.'
my point is, it's not often (read never) that i buy i book, go home, and meet people who know the author. kick ass right?!
