Opening line: "Chuck Palahniuk isn't a rock star, but he could be."

Can't agree more Smile He's gained a very rock star persona.

oh, nice find!

He says: They send me six or eight stories each month and I go through them and I offer my feedback.

But we really only send five. I wonder if that means we can send more? Hmm

I know, Time magazine! I'm proud that the "tour" shirts are mentioned because those were my idea. I had the idea that his book tours should be celebrated like a band tour and I even said to Dennis, "Chuck is a rock star, we need tour shirts!".

Brad Choma designs them and always makes them look so good. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but this time I ordered shirts for his three kids so they can wear their Dad's work! He's such a good sport, he's gonna let his own little pygmies wear shirts with a terrorist swinging a severed arm!

Awesome little interview, awesome that he got into Time magazine, they're like the magazine. They may have oversensationalized the cult a bit though, I wouldn't say we're all raging Palahniuk-head by any means.

Great interview, great reading in DC, we're not true "cult-ists"! We just like letting Chuck screw up and scramble our brains so that we see things differently, like through a glass darkly....

This is how I felt when we were about to meet him:
"The geek in me was jumping around like a dumbass at a Star Trek convention and Leonard Nimoy showed up."

My name is Carla, and I love Chuck!
