These are the true adventures of a National Geographic filmmaker -
as seen through the bottom of a shot glass. The Exotic Booze Club
is a wild, humorous ride, and the only memoir ever to reveal the
secrets behind big-budget expedition filmmaking. When author, Brian
Armstrong, was seven-years old, some bare-breasted tribeswomen
commanded his attention. They gazed back at him from the pages of
an old yellow-bordered magazine collected by his Uncle Ian. But it
wasn't just the breasts. Vivid 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." 25 years later that dream came true - or was it a nightmare?
As a seat-of-the-pants expedition filmmaker, Brian found himself
traveling from one death-defying adventure to another - coping with
snake bites, tornadoes, volcanoes, acid lakes, malaria, monsoons,
armed rebels, enormous crocodiles, and even a helicopter crash.
Time and time again he 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 to help unwind. Filmmakers and explorers would
return to Armstrong's office with strange liquors to share, wild
stories of daring exploits, and yes, sometimes pictures of naked
tribeswomen. This book is the true story from behind-the-scenes of
Armstrong's most dramatic films - framed by the life and death of
the one-and-only Exotic Booze Club.
