“I live life like a contact sport and my fiction is the same way,” Rio said in a recent video. Rio will be at Book Soup on October 8th, discussing the book in conversation with Amanda Montell. So with a 34-city tour, I’ve had a lot of fun pulling vintage clothes from my closet – but most of my clothes are actually band T-shirts and hand-me-downs or vintage. When I was working on this book, I actually lived out of my car for 18 months because I wanted to get out there and do it right.
