Party Like a Rockstar: Even When You're Poor as Dirt

Author: Camper English

Yesterday I ate two free meals, took two free shuttles, made a bunch of personal copies on someone else's machine, received a comped CD in the mail and saw the Stereolab show from the VIP section while sucking back complimentary top-shelf drinks.

After being laid off from his job as a computer programmer, freelance writer Camper English had to learn to make do on the salary of, well, a freelance writer. During the next two years, he discovered his social life wasn't impeded at all. "I was going out, drinking up and getting down without spending much of anything." In this book, English lays out the kind of financial advice we all need. I mean, who really cares what color your parachute is or where your cheese is? Just find out how to get designer duds for under 10 bucks, eat for free so you have more money for alcohol, get on the most exclusive guest lists, get into screenings and generally live fabulously for next to nothing!

Camper English has written for Instinct, Unzipped and The San Francisco Bay Guardian.

Library Journal

Freelance writer English's unique financial advice compendium is destined to be read by many twentysomethings. Offered here are self-tested strategies on getting into clubs for free, shopping for new clothes, obtaining discounts on concerts, and dating on the cheap. Although some of his recommendations push the envelope-e.g., bring your own flask into a club to strengthen a weak drink-others are quite practical (wear one shirt eight ways) and humorous (rid your medicine cabinet of hemorrhoid creams before a party). English also includes tips on earning extra income and finding educational discounts along with web search terms for finding free local events. Recommended for any library with a substantial 18- to 30-year-old population. In a similar vein, Favreau maintains that there is a shortcut for every activity. Based on the latest research and the opinions of experts in a variety of fields, his book explains how to streamline common tasks like planning a vacation and negotiating a dispute. For entertainment value, he also throws in shortcuts for climbing Mount Everest, achieving marital bliss, and getting invited to dinner at the White House. The writing is straightforward and practical in its own way. Not essential but fun. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
