new site stuff and book
Yep, it’s there, over there on the right. And yes, that’s me on the cover. I know, I know – I had really great hair. And much better taste in clothes than I do now. So much promise, so very, very long ago.
(It should be noted that as I write this, I’m sitting on my couch in my boxers, staring at the wrapper of a carrot cake cupcake, having just recently beat off to a clip from RedTube entitled, “Sarah becoming mistress of fuck-fighting.” So there’s that. Poor kid.)
(And if you think I’m lying about any of this, come over my apartment right now and check. I’m not going anywhere.)
(And I’m realizing now that my editor’s going to be pissed. When I told him that I was about to introduce the book on the site, he said, “That’s great, Jason. But promise me you won’t use the phrase ‘fuck-fighting’ anywhere in the introduction.” Whoops.)
Let’s do this the easy way and use some bullets:
- My book, Everything Is Wrong with Me: A Memoir of an American Childhood Gone, Well, Wrong, will be released in just about a month, on March 2. If you’d like to pre-order it, you can click on the cover and it will tell you how.
- If you click on the cover, you will also read some “praise” for the book. If you enjoy reading the praise or looking at the book cover, pass the link on to your friends, family or co-workers. Encourage them to order the book themselves. Bribe them, if necessary. Really, whatever it takes, even if it gets, like, pretty weird. You have my blessing, and your secret is safe with me.
- (And yes, the “real” praise is real. Cost me a fucking fortune and nearly gave me lockjaw, but it’s real.)
- You may have also noticed that the rest of the site looks different. This (partially) explains my lack of posting recently, but all praise and glory go to Site Guy Brendan and a new member of the JM.com team, Kyle (who lacks at nickname/moniker at the moment). They have contributed so much with so little monetary, moral, spiritual or any other type of support from me that it’s a miracle that they actually finished the project. They are really, really good guys.
- Speaking of good guys, there will be some kinks to the site that we’ll work out over the coming days and weeks. We ask for your patience and understanding in the meantime, and in return, one of the three of us will give you a massage next time we hang out.
- (Oh, we’ve also changed the intro page, so if you go to www.jasonmulgrew.com, it looks different, much like the book page.)
Finally, there will be a lot more about the book in the coming weeks, including information on readings/signings, interviews, and pictures of you all reading the book, so stay tuned. This is a new and exciting phase of my life, a phase that, I’m convinced, can only bring me closer to a threesome. I look forward to entering this phase with you all, hand in hand, maybe singing a little song together, or at least humming, walking into the sunset, and then maybe into a bar, where we all get really drunk and the tab at the end of the night is really cheap and the next day, none of us have hangovers. Also, my book is tied in there somehow. This is my dream, friends. And together, we can make it happen.
