It all started with the NY Mets Dream Team of ’89 and a single glove with the entire lineup’s signatures—a rare treasure. My grandfather was an avid baseball fan and a personal friend of the coach. His passion for collecting autographs, as it turns out, was generational.

Born and bred in New York, Roy Salvatore Constantino grew up in the beating heart of 90s celebrity culture. A wild child in a glamorous city at the turn of the century, he had many celebrity encounters, meeting stars ranging from Rosanne to Rupaul, John Cusack to Jennifer Taylor, and even Robert Deniro.

This nonfiction short story anthology is full of 90s nostalgia, evocative descriptions, and heartwarming moments. Written in a series of vignettes, it details chance meetings with TV legends, brushes with music icons, and even stumbling directly onto a film set on the way to school.

This reflective memoir will steep you in sentimentality and stardom, calling to mind both the memories and revelries of the 90s.
