Collected in Gringo Star are Fogel's quirky travel pieces. Among other things, he lifts weights on a coral atoll in the mid-Pacific; he is mesmerized by "she-males" in a small town in southern France; he spends a few days trying to become 'Professor Roadie' with the David Bowie rock 'n' roll tour.Witty, outrageous, and insightful, Gringo Star is marked by a breezy energy. It also displays a sense of irony rarely seen in travel writing: the awareness that a keen observational eye is less important than a self-reflexive glance at the privileged traveller himself. Few have written as superficially - and that is meant as a compliment to a travel writer who knows how unknowing most outsiders are about cultures other than their own.

Great stories about the Dave Matthews Band, written for fans, by fans 
In 1998, ECW Press published what has become our best-selling title to dateStep into the Lightwhich chronicled the rise of the phenomenally popular Dave Matthews Band (DMB). The response to the book was overwhelming and fans soon began writing to us about their own first-hand experiences with the band. The stories were outrageous, hilarious and heartfelt, and proved that fans are a valuable resource for rare information about the band. Inspired by these anecdotes, we set out to collect the funniest, most outrageous and insightful stories about the Dave Matthews Band. 
The result is DMB FanFare, the first in a series of books written by fans for fans. FanFare is designed for fans who want to find out about their favorite band from other fans who have stories to tell. Weird stories. Touching stories. The stories only fans would know. Like the fact that Dave Matthews wants to stop performing his acoustic shows because of the audiences' rude behavior. Or that Boyd (the DMB violinist) often chats on-line with members of the DMB fan club. Did you know that drummer Carter Beauford once invited a group of fans onto to the DMB tour bus to eat pizza with him and watch movies? Another fan managed to snap one of the only known pictures of saxophonist Leroi Moore without his sunglasses on! And Matthews has been known call his fans to thank them for their lettersbut most don't believe it's him! 
FanFare takes readers to the core of the DMB phenomenon: a legion of loyal, caring, and devoted fans, and a super-talented band that would do just about anything to please them.
