My Green Day book is done--and is now on Amazon!

[Jet Taman]

Hey!

My book is finally done! "My Green Days: the story of a fan & a band" and I have sold enough to make the quota to get sold by Amazon.

I am really happy with how it turned out and I think it has a good message at the end! If you would like to get it and be entertained, not only by me revealing my mullet on the back cover, but also by the stories and adventures I've had at Green Day shows, you can get it here:

And I figured instead of creating a whole nother thread about the book, I'd just edit this page so you can get the Amazon link. For those of you who have an Amazon account, it would be really cool if you could at least just "Like" the book and it would be really really cool if you actually wrote a tiny review

http://www.amazon.com/My-Green-Days-Story-Band/dp/1105745775/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345313318&sr=1-1&keywords=my+green+days+justin+patrick

I made it as inexpensive as I could. It's a quick, easy read--it gives a few insights on what concerts were like in the early 90's, gives a bit of history, and explains why Green Day means so much to me. I really think you'll be thoroughly entertained at my first attempt at writing a book--and what better thing to write about than THE GREATEST BAND ON EARTH!!!!!!

Thanks so much for your support!

Check out the cover (and my embarassing mullet from 1994)

1994--A time of bad haircuts, flannel shirts, and grungy music.

Enter Green Day.

Not only did they change the tempo of music, but they changed the lives of millions of fans as well...

Read how Green Day became a part of one fan's life, and how it has become his quest to meet his rock -n- roll heroes.

From Woodstock to Broadway...

To rib crushing front row spots & marriage proposals...

These are the Green Days of his life...

Yeah, unfortunately I ended up not being able to use those because I saw that Niki Lee had done something very similar in her book (Seize the Green Day)and I didn't want to be TOO similar. I put a shout out to Niki Lee in my Acknowledgments section and also got in contact with Niki as well.

I didn't want there to be any "competition" and I didn't even realize she had a book out until I was about midway finished my book.

But I did put pictures in of some fans that contributed!

I'm super glad you finally succeeded in making your book. Well done man, I bet Billie Joe would be proud of you!

[Robin105]

That's awesome! I'd like a hard copy if it's possible. I can't wait to read it especially since you said you were using my picture with Billie in it.

Yes! You are in it!

If you go to the website I posted above, you can see a preview of the first chapter and you'll see yourself there.

Message me your address and I'll send a copy to you
