A first glance, the comic diaries of Ben Snakepit seem incredibly disposable. The manic protagonist / author spends most of his time drinking, partying, lamenting about his drinking & partying, eating touring, working and falling in love with a string of girls who always seem to pale in comparison to a beautiful ex. But what could have easy been redundant and infuriating, instead becomes funny, honest and remarkable fresh in the hands of Ben Snakepit. Three tough years are condensed into meaty volume, and you can watch the consequence of each action he makes unravel at a seemingly breakneck pace. Bands break-up and reunite, tours inspire and crush, hearts surge and break, and in the center of it all is the wry Ben. This book is wonderful love letter about what it means to be a young and brash musician deep in the heart of Austin of Texas.
