Smuggling a Heroin Dildo Out of India, Studio 54 in the 70s, Smuggling Cocaine Out of Bolivia...Louie Mandrapilias is an International Junkie of Mystery!
Note from Jeannine:
Ooooh, Y'ALL. This is another banger. Louie Mandrapilias was a young gay man in Louisiana in the 70s...when it really wasn't okay to be a gay man anywhere, much less Louisiana. Checking out New York, or as Louie tells me "gay mecca," for two weeks the summer before his senior year of high school turns into a years long run as an international drug smuggler. Louie was diagnosed with HIV in 1983 before there was any treatment available. At that time, HIV was a death sentence. Louie chose to stay sober anyway. His story is wild and inspiring and I can't wait to hear what you think!
