All I Need To Know I Learned From My College Bar

Adam Lorenzo owned a college bar while attending college at Syracuse University. No joke. 

Working and laughing with people from all over the world, he learned invaluable life lessons in that cathedral of knowledge known as a . . . college bar! 

Adam applied all of that knowledge when he changed career paths and  graduated to accomplish his dream of becoming a television/movie writer . . . inspiring him to share that knowledge in his first book. 

A high-concept life-wisdom/humor book. It’s about thinking, not drinking. It features text and hilarious illustrations from Antonio Pinna. 

A perfect (graduation or any time) gift for students, parents, professors,  teaching assistants, college sports fans, anyone who has ever stepped  foot on a college campus, likes to laugh or just likes to watch other people laugh (albeit creepy).

Adam Lorenzo started as a joke writer, selling material to Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update”;  Jimmy Kimmel; and David Letterman, which resulted in his first  staff-writing job, on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn (cocreated and executive produced by Letterman). Other TV credits include the Emmy-winning Everybody Loves  Raymond, Are We There Yet? (starring Terry Crews and Ice  Cube), and Everybody Hates Chris, based on the life of  Chris Rock. Lorenzo grew up in Buffalo, New York, and now lives in Los Angeles, writing for hit television comedies.

He combines his unique sensibility with humor to arrive at a truly novel design.
