HOW TO PISS IN PUBLIC
From Teenage Rebellion to the Hangover of Adulthood
By the notorious founder of Vice Magazine, HOW TO PISS IN PUBLIC is a roller coaster ride of joy-filled excess that produces laughs unlike anything you've ever read. Not chortles or guffaws but electric shock spit-takes where actual food involuntarily shoots out of your mouth and into the face of the guy sitting across from you on the train.
A laugh-out-loud, go-for-the-jugular chronicle of audacious true stories from the creator of Vice magazine for the huge audiences that devour Tucker Max, Justin Halpern, Chuck Klosterman and Chelsea Handler. Gavin McInnes's idea of heaven is standing at a bar made of clouds telling jaw-dropping stories while all his dead friends drop their harps and burst into paroxysms of laughter. Whether it's streaking through New York City during the 2003 blackout, faking paralysis to curtail a beatdown by Nazi skinheads, or getting his mother so stoned, she called the cops on goblins, McInnes's stories never fail to induce hair-whitening spit-takes. He went from starting a small punk 'zine in 1994 to building into a global multi-media empire that he sold for millions a decade later. Though many have done as much cocaine as McInnes, few can look back on a life that includes a punk band named Anal Chinook (Inuit for "warm wind"), remarkably awkward celebrity encounters, violence of every shape and form, a really slow police chase, innumerable threesomes, a self-induced STD, fifteen dead junkies, the invention of New York's "Warhol Children," deer hunting with Indians, and comedy videos that garner the appreciation of millions. Described as "The Godfather of Hipsterdom" on NBC, McInnes is responsible for a lot more than making ridiculous facial hair popular. A gifted writer and born storyteller, he has lived an inspirational life that is raw, unabashed, often mind-boggling, and always entertaining. Gavin Mcinnes is a prankster, provocateur, comedian, and creator of contemporary, alternative pop culture. He established an underground Montreal newspaper, which he grew into Vice Magazine Publishing Inc., an international megabrand that still defines cool for "the kids today." He is the author of The Vice Guide to Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll; DOs & DON'Ts; DOs & DON'Ts 2; and Street Boners, which is based on his new website StreetCarnage.com. Today McInnes lives with his wife and two kids in New York City, writes for television, and makes viral comedy videos for any corporate sponsors that don't mind fart jokes.
