Author Information

Scott Jarrett interviewed over 25 Ten Cent Beer Night eyewitnesses - including players, fans, coaches, and journalists - to put together the most comprehensive look at Ten Cent Beer Night ever. Jarrett has also thoroughly studied beer - as well as dimes - for many years. He is the author Traffickwocky, a collection of Austin (TX) traffic poetry. Writing and publishing a traffic poetry book, he says, a feeble attempt at therapy. He is also the author of Asking For Bread and Getting Beaten, a lighthearted travel guide to Bulgaria. It met with mixed reviews from his Bulgarian bride. He is a graduate of Kenyon College and the proud father of two fine ball players. He currently teaches middle school journalism/yearbook in Austin, Texas.
