Saturday Sept 18th at 7pm, Tony Pacitti, formerly of Rowley, presents his memoir, “My Best Friend is a Wookie: One Boy’s Journey to Find His Place in the Universe”  The real-life saga of certified geek and official Jedi Knight wannabe, Tony Pacitti is a hilarious and heart-wrenching coming-of-age tale framed around Lucas’ epic Star Wars…the movie that changed one little boy’s life.  With the Force on his side, Tony Pacitti tells how he survived the  countless hurdles of adolescence, temptations from the Dark Side, and ultimately lived to see the day when he is  comfortable in his own skin. For anyone who’s pretended a flashlight was a lightsaber, who loved the movies, or who remembers  a geeky and awkward adolescence, this evening and this book will be a must. Tony Pacitti has written for SouthCoast247.com as a features writer and video game reviewer and has had his short science fiction published at 365tommorows. He has been the writer for the online comics RoboPlanet and The Silencer at Pandemonium Comics.  He now lives in Providence, Rhode Island and is probably watching The Empire Strikes Back on laserdisc at this very moment.
