Plus Live Music by THE EDISON ROCKET TRAIN

8 PM, Sat. May 30

Edison’s memoir I Have Fun Everywhere I Go: Savage Tales of Pot, Porn, Punk Rock, Pro Wrestling, Talking Apes, Evil Bosses, Dirty Blues, American Heroes, and the Most Notorious Magazines in the World recounts twenty years of druggy adventurism and his parallel careers as a magazine editor, writer, and musician. Between 1985 and 1988 he was the author of 28 pornographic novels, wrote about German whorehouses and Spanish coke dealers for Hustler, and published a series of erotic “confessions” for the legendary Penthouse Letters. In 1998 Edison became publisher/editor of marijuana counterculture magazine High Times. Following HT, he was named the editorial director for Jewish culture magazine HEEB, for whom he went undercover and exposed Jews for Jesus as a Baptist organization. Edison has also recorded a “beatnik bop and punk rock boogaloo, outerspace soundtrack and spoken word” companion CD, a collaboration with rock musician and producer Jon Spencer. He is the long-time drummer for New York cult-garage band the Raunch Hands, as well as being a collaborator of infamous punk rocker GG Allin with whom he wrote a number of songs and recorded two albums. He currently leads his own band, the Edison Rocket Train. FREE! Comp wine. Books/CDs on sale at event. To visit Mike's web site, click here HERE.
