Now You Know

Now You Know

Downtown Manhattan impresario, Tony Arcabascio, and California based publisher, Arkitip, have finally compiled and bound into one book.

Now You Know is 3 years worth of columns/short stories written by Tony exclusively for Arkitip, between 2003 and 2006. A ?how to? for the street smart. It's just a couple of things the people who ?know,? may not know (if you know what I mean).

Excerpt from: Make the girls love you, etc

I?ve heard it all before. ?I have 2 left feet.? ?I need to be drunk first.? ?I look stupid.? ?I don't like this song.? ?I have hemorrhoids.? but I don't really get why people need excuses. Is dancing that scary?

Picture this: you went out clubbing with your boys last night and someone asks you how you?re night was. If no one hooked up with any chics, you?re most likely gonna say it sucked. But if you even had just one good dance with a girl, just one little ass shake, you?re gonna tell that someone that your night was f*cken dope. Why? It's the power of the dance. You didn't get laid (and may not know her name or ever see that girl again), but you leave that club fulfilled. Why? Because it feels f*cken good. You feel alive and sexy when you?re sweating to a good song with someone you dig.

I can't stomach mutha f*ckers that hang at the bar all night and make fun of other guys dancing. I?m not defending some guido dick with his shirt off dancing up every girl's ass on the dance floor (I make fun of those assholes also), but I am defending the guy who you know is just having a good time no matter how good he is. I?m defending the guy who doesn't give a f*ck and knows that the most fun he's gonna have, and the best way to meet a girl, is on the dance floor.
