How a Punk Rock Redneck Faggot Texan Moved to West Hollywood and Refused to be Shiny and Happy. "Dave White is a pesky, venomous cold sore on the perfect, collagen-raped lips of West Hollywood. He's as tart as a freshly picked Granny Smith apple and much raunchier....Buy it right the eff now or die alone and broke!" - Christian McLaughlin, author of Glamourpuss and Sex Toys of The Gods.

"I really hope you haven't picked up this book thinking it's going to help you learn something about humanity or life or whatever. If that were the case, it would have tips or hints or something, maybe even one helpful bit of advice about how to make over your life with ease and grace, or, as in my case, make a cross-country move from a beloved hometown to a gay ghetto in a big city and how to fit in and not be constantly mortified. But it doesn't."

"This book is simply the one-year diary of a man who grew up in a nomadic family, and who as an adult decided to make a stubborn fetish out of staying put. Then that man found himself uprooted in the middle of the life and dumped, panting and sweating, into an unfamiliar environment. That's when he sat and complained about it, all the while stuffing his face with doughnuts"

"My name is Dave. This is my story"
