Event

Dave Holmes: Party of One

Left Bank Books and KWMU St. Louis Public Radio presents former MTV VJ Dave Holmes, who will sign and discuss his memoir "Party of One: A Memoir in 21 Songs."

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. Proof of purchase of "Party of One" from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.

Dave Holmes knows a little something about being an outsider. Growing up in the Midwest, he was the artsy son in an athletic family. At his all-boys high school and Catholic college, he was the closeted gay kid surrounded by crush-worthy straight guys. And in the MTV era of slick boy bands and glossy pop stars, he was the chubby second-place VJ who got hired because he actually knew music. In his delightfully charming memoir "Party of One," Dave takes readers on his fumbling journey to self-acceptance, from a youth spent dreaming of the inner circle to a job that skirted the edge of fame and fortune.
