Bio:

In 2011, Reilly Capps set the world record for "most couches slept on," spending nearly every night for more than a year on 150 different couches. This feat has been compared to Hillary's ascent of Everest and DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, but only by Capps. A book on his achievement is forthcoming. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, Powder magazine, and Craigslist postings selling off his old Dave Matthews CDs, who, he now realizes, stinks.
