A countercultural self-help book compiled by a veteran of the underground who has spent 30 years in the alternative art trenches, these experiential, very real commentaries from today's underground luminaries offer honest and humorous advice on everything from 'Door Etiquette for the Nightlife-Challenged' by Clint Catalyst to 'How to be an Art Star' by downtown NYC scenester Reverend Jen. Without a hint of irony, Good Advice for Young and Trendy People of All Ages shows would-be bohemians how things really are instead of selling far-fetched dreams.

Even if you think you've got it all together this collection will help you scam a better scam, work a deeper style, and become a more gracious human being." - Michelle Tea, author of Valencia "Wow! One of the sharpest minds and trash connoisseurs I've ever known - Jennifer Blowdryer - joins forces with some very weird friends to bring forth the scariest reality survivor show you'll never see on TV: YOU." - Jello Biafra, Dead Kennedys "A fun, loony, helpful book." - Jonathan Ames"
