The Exotic Booze Club: True Adventures Of Volcanoes, Cobras, And A Beer Elephant

Brian Armstrong

4.9/5 (28224 ratings)

Description:It was a club created in flagrant violation of his employer's rules. A club for intrepid film-makers to share their hair-raising stories - of deadly snakes, acid lakes, enormous crocodiles and other examples of nature at its most dangerous - over a glass (or ten) of rotgut booze from the world's most dangerous zones. A memoir of alcoholic proportions! When Brian Armstrong was seven, he happened across some bare-breasted tribeswomen gazing at him from the pages of an old, yellow-bordered magazine that was part of his Uncle Ian's collection. But it wasn't just the breasts that attracted his attention. Pictures of far-off jungles, exotic wildlife and intrepid explorers also enthralled Brian. One cousin remembers him declaring, 'That's what I'm going to do when I grow up.' Twenty-five years later, that dream came true. As a seat-of-the-pants expedition filmmaker for the same company that produced those yellow-bordered magazines, the boy from Bendigo found himself travelling from one death-defying adventure to another. Coping with deadly snakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, acid lakes, malaria, monsoons, armed rebels, enormous crocodiles, even a helicopter crash became part of a day's work. Time and again Brian asked himself the same three questions: 'How did I get here?' 'How do I get out of here?' And, most importantly, 'What's to drink?' Against his prestigious employer's strict anti-alcohol policy, this irreverent rule-breaker started the Exotic Booze Club. Filmmakers and explorers would return to Brian's office with strange liquors to share, wild stories of daring exploits and, sometimes, pictures of naked tribeswomen. This book is the true story from behind the scenes of Brian's most dramatic films, framed by the life and death of the one-and-only Exotic Booze Club.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
