It's always been a goal of mine to have a book written about me. Today, I am proud to announce that I have finally achieved that goal.
Well, okay not really. But sort of. I'm mentioned in a book. A few times.
The book is called Tailgate to Heaven and it's the labor of love from our friend, British NFL Super Fan Adam Goldstein. Long time readers will remember Adam from the 2008 NFL season, when he successfully completed his mission to attend 40 NFL games in a single season, at least one at every stadium in the league.
I befriended Adam before embarking on his trip, interviewing him and helping spread the word to other NFL fans across the country about his journey. We even traded game tickets, he taking me to the Saints vs. Chargers game at Wembley Stadium and me inviting him to see the Saints face the Packers in the Dome. Since I was a small part of his incredible journey, I got myself a couple of mentions in his book, which chronicles the entire adventure.
So if you're an NFL fan, a tailgating lover or a Canal Street Chronicles addict you will definitely want to check out this book. You can purchase it online through various websites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. I was able to get my hands on an advanced copy and I can tell you it's a damn good read. There is so much great stuff about football, the stadium experience and, of course, food! What's not to love?
And if you're interested in meeting the legend himself, he's already started another trip across America, this time to support the book. Here's Adam's book tour schedule. Click on each tour date for more information about that stop.
