Over the past decade or so Lisa Crystal Carver has made an industry out of Drugs Are Nice with an album, a DVD and now a book subtitled A Post-Punk Memoir.

The book now out from Soft Skull Press chronicles Carvers life in the band Suckdog, her major problems with her family and of course, lots and lots of drugs.

I saw Lisa at the DC book show. Dame Darcy was also there; I wrote to, and bought stuff from, both of them a lot over the 1990s.
Lisa was not kidding about the tour; people performed parts of the book (her life story). At the show I went to, it was the scene where she cuts herself in Costes's Paris apartment. The blood special-effects were provided by Heinz; I've never been in a room that just REEKED of ketchup before. I believe Darcy played the spirit of death, or a ghost, or something. The guy playing Costes had a superb French accent.
