I learned something new tonight.
I hate book signings.
You know what sucks? Listening to someone read.
It was crowded and hot. Some other author read some short story of his. It sucked. It sucked like a large heavy steel 1950's vacuum cleaner with a brand new bag in it.
I thought maybe when this guy gets the hell off the stage Chuck Palahniuk would be more entertaining.
I was wrong. He was boring too.
I also learned hipsters are just as stupid as hoosiers. When Chuck added "St. Louis, MO" into his story the crowd gave out a big "WHOO!" So fucking sad.
But now I know I never need to go do anything like that again.

This summer my friend is doing a reading at Left Bank Books, but she writes erotica...might be a bit more entertaining...
...it was like I was cat in a bag being hit with bad comparisons and hammers...
But I would expect she too will over enunciate each word, and stretch out sentences longer than they were ever meant to be. I don't think it was just the content. It was the entire experience.
she may masterbate...
