I Have Fun Everywhere I Go is a rollicking, high-octane, always irreverent journey through the seamy side of the publishing industry. Mike Edisons rsum spans twenty years and a slew of notorious titles, including Screw, High Times, Penthouse, and Hustler. An Ivy League dropout whos never looked back, Edison embarked on a career thats landed him in the producers chair for one of the worst B movies of all time; on tour with the likes of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, GG Allin, and the Ramones; undercover at a religious cult; on a bender with Evel Knievel; feuding with Hulk Hogan; smoking dope with Ozzy Osborne; and authoring some twenty novels you wouldnt want your mother to catch you readinglet alone writing. As the publisher of High Times, he battled almost daily with a rainbow brigade of unrepentant hippies plagued with short-term memory loss, and owners who treated their employees more like the tenants of a halfway house for potheads than a team of professional editors and writers, all while leading the magazine to record heights in sales and advertising. I Have Fun Everywhere I Go combines the fear and loathing of Hunter Thompsons journalistic thrill rides with the acerbic insider voice of Toby Young. Its an eye-opening, gleeful view of life on the edgeand the outlaws and oddballs encountered there.
