‘Fool Me Once’ book release party

I don’t think I’m overstating things when I say that I just had the #1 best book release party in the history of the English language. A milestone, really. First movable type, then spelcheck, then the Fool Me Once book release party. I’m going to include a lot of photos in this post, so you don’t accuse me of bias.

Cleverboy’s book has dropped

It finally happened. My new book came out today. It’s called Fool Me Once: Hustlers, Hookers, Headliners, and How Not to Get Screwed in Vegas. I feel like it’s my Bar Mitzvah all over again, only I’ll probably make a lot less money this time around.
