Chuck Palahniuk Rocks the House

M&Q hosted a fantastic event last week. Chuck Palahniuk packed the Triple Rock Social Club for a reading from his new novel Snuff. A capacity crowd of 350 attended and had a great time.

But don't take my word for it. You can read a fan's account of the evening on the blog One Schlock's Requiem. He made out well when the schwag was passed out. (There's a very nice picture of all his loot near the bottom of his post.) "Luckily," he says, "I’m tall, so catching all this stuff above the crowd is pretty easy."

Below are our photos from the event.

We don't promise blowup dolls at every reading, but our author events always a good time. Check out our events page for details on all our upcoming readings.--David E
