Chuck Palahniuk Appearance 5/16

[damnpetewentz]

i took the train downtown...and first of all thought it was at a different borders cause i didnt think about it. so i had to walk at least another mile on top of what i already did.  i got there like 630ish and it started at 7.  i was told i had to rebuy the book on the phone, but they didnt make me when i got there.  so i went up stairs to find the line and I was in the way back and irrated.  i really did not thnk that that many people would show up.  probably like 500 showed up by the end.   i was by these 3 guys like 21-22 and one of them reminded me so much of Jon Walker.  just a regular guy with his hoodie/jeans/flip flops.  even had scruffy beard/longish hair like his.  it entertained me.  they entertained me as well.  the jon guy and one of the other ones were hot but they had girlfriends it turned out.  there was a drunk guy in line that was  trying to start a fight wiht someone else-hilarious.  So when chuck started speaking we all went closer  to  try to hear cause  we were  on the other end.  me and those guys gave up on listening  so we'd have abetter spot in line.  so we talked and wandered around  and found some presigned chuck books which i bought several of since he  was only  signing rant.    so he ended talking at  like 840.   the  guys decided to  just get rant presigned and  leave cause they  didnt want to wait forever so thatkinda sucked-i read some  more  of rant for  awhile.  so  the line  took  forever and wouldnt move. as i got closer, we could see that chuck would sign, and then put a bridal  veil on you to take the picture, as it goes with the book,but so not needed. so imgetting  pissed as itsm geting later.  i kinda snuck in front of like 20 people at one point.  i know i needed at least 40 min to walk back to the train, so i found one of the guys that was walking around that worked there and asked if we could stop with the veils and such cause the trains were going to stop running soon and people needed to go-i wasnt the only one either.  a bunch of people got out and left before i said that to go get there trains.  So hes like how much time do you have till you have to go-i was like 10 minutes (even though it was like 25) cause i wanted to make sure i had enough time and maybe stop if i could find anything open and grab a pop/food cause all i had for dinner was a javacooler from borders and a brownie.  so he just brought me to the front of the line and i cut infront of everyone.  i just thanked chuck for letting me cut and hes like no problem we want to make sure you get your train. so i didnt get to ask him any thing cool, but i got the stuff.  so i got home at 130.  and went to bed at 140.  to get up less than 5 hours later.  
but yeah hes worth it :)
