Voodoo Doughnut, or When Blogs Collide

Who to believe? Slushpile say Chuck Palahniuk was on the Travel Channel last night on Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservations," showing him the sights of Portland, Oregon, including charming Voodoo Doughnut. (Get married in their chapel. Learn Swahili. Have a bachelorette party. Heck, have a doughnut.)

Ah, but the wildly enthusiastic Palahniuk site chuckpalahniuk.net says it's just a repeat of an earlier show.

This isn't CNN, so I'm not going to make a call on this one. I will point out that we have copies of Palahniuk's own guide to the City of Roses (or Stumptown, according to some). Fugitives and Refugees : A Walk in Portland, Oregon is in the store now. It's cheaper than cable.

And fans of Palanuik's earlier books Fight Club, Choke, and Haunted will be glad to hear that his new book Rant : An Oral Biography of Buster Casey will be published May 1.
