I’m pleased to announce that I’m working on a book! I Don’t Have A Car: My Concert Stories, has been in the works for three years now, and I’m so excited to finally be writing what I hope will be an interesting recollection of one of my biggest hobbies. The bulk of it will revolve around some of the most memorable shows I’ve ever seen. It will not be every single one, as I can’t fit all of them in, so I’ll only be doing the ones that have incredibly special meaning to me. I’ll confirm right here that I will be doing Paul McCartney, Hamilton, my first Billy Joel show, and yes, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
This is not going to be a compilation of the reviews you see on this site, either. They’re going to be freshly written chapters more about my personal experience at the show, how I got into the band/artist, maybe the merchandise I bought, etc. It’s more of a memoir than anything else.
While I don’t have a solid release date yet, I’m hoping to release this around Christmas or maybe even 2020, as there are some experiences I’m going to write about in here that haven’t even happened yet. Also, this isn’t going to be posted on my blog or anything – it’s actually going to be published on iBooks, and probably some other platforms. I don’t think I’m going to go through the trouble of a publishing company to print physical copies, but I’ll still keep you informed.
I’m very happy to finally see my vision come to life on the digital page, and can’t wait for you to read it!
