So in the last Colgate Scene in the books and media section, I noticed that a guy by the name of Douglas Cowie ‘99 has written a new book titled Owen Noone and the Marauder. The plot reminds me quite a bit of Jeff Gomez’s Geniuses of Crack or maybe it’s just because there aren’t too many books I’ve read regarding an indie/punk band trying to make it big. I actually highly recommend Gomez’s book Our Noise though.
Anyway, I was curious if you guys new about this or have had a chance to check it out. Are any of you still in touch with Doug? The book is available for ridiculously cheap at Amazon.com
Okay a quick Blingo (did I mention I won again?) search yielded the following reviews that I’ll check out later:

And also a brief bio:

I didn’t know that you had one a first time, let alone an additional time(s). What kind of magnificent prizes have been bestowed upon you?
I have actually won 5, count ‘em, 5 times! 4 movie tickets and a $25 amazon gift certificate which I had the option of just taking as a check so really $25 bucks.
