Broke-Ass Stuart has been called “an SF cult hero” (SF Bay Guardian), “Best Local Writer” (SF Weekly) and “the pimp daddy of budget travel” (Everywhere Magazine), but to those familiar with his work, he’s just “that douchebag who writes books about cheap stuff and drinks a lot”.

Last December Broke-Ass Stuart brought his particular brand of madness to New York when Seven Footer Press released his book Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in New York City.

Come out and bring your friends to the McNally-Jackson Bookstore on Friday, March 20th to get your books, boobs, man-boobs or butts signed and listen to Broke-Ass Stuart read from his NY book.  After the reading, Stuart will be leading a walking tour of the cheap things in the neighborhood surrounding the store, then leading everyone back for a book-signing and free beer.  After we’ve all done our part to help one of New York City’s best independent bookstore (buy something, if not my book, something!) we’ll adjourn to a bar for a post-signing afterparty.
