Beer and Loathing in Panama City

So this dude Keith Strasburg that I know wrote a book called Beer and Loathing in Panama City. Here’s the cover:

This is the little blurb on Amazon: “Keith Strausbaugh, 23, is an ex-valedictorian with a penchant for heavy drinking, an overeducated bar fly who can binge with the best of ‘em. In a style that can only be described as half stream-of-consciousness and half drunken rant, Strausbaugh chronicles his collegiate spring break and the ensuing sex, violence, and razorblade debauchery…as well as the run-ins with police officers, Christians, military recruiters, musicians, celebrities, bikers, illegal immigrants, cheerleaders, and homeless drifters. It’s a testament to drunken thrills and loud, obnoxious laughter in a city unaccustomed to morality or maturity. When he’s not running for City Council or starting pyramid schemes, Strausbaugh teaches freshman composition at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.”

That sounds pretty damn interesting to me. I bought a copy and you can too, right here. If you’ve got a few extra bucks (a very few) order yourself one. Mine should be here any minute, and after I read it, I’ll give a review.
