Lollapalooza 2011 and Tell-All

I have finally experienced a music festival; my life will never be the same. Of course I have been to 1 day music affairs, but the festival is far superior in every way. Other than a pretty stellar line up, which included Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Cold War Kids, Friendly Fires, Foster the People, Beats Antique, Pretty Lights, and Girltalk (all of whom were utterly amazing!), it was ungodly organized; the minute one band stepped off one stage, the next would play ON SCHEDULE on the stage acorss the field. In South Florida, this is not common. So if you have never been to a festival, don't be lame like me and wait until you are 24-25 to attend! There is nothing better than music, sun, rain, friends, drinks, mud that smell so rank you think you might throw up, and the random thousands of people. There are a number of festivals that I want to go to in the upcoming year which means I need a better paying job.... damn.

Tell-All has 2 parts.

Part 1: Tell- All by Chuck Palahniuk: a review (don't worry, if you haven't had the chance to pick it up, I will not spoil it)
I finished this book about three weeks ago, and have put off doing this because I love Palahniuk, but I did have some issues with this novel. While the writing is brilliant as always because Palahniuk has a way of warping things in a sexual, deviant, sometimes malacious, and often poetic way, the story of Hazie and Miss Kathie was slightly generic. Unlike anything I have read by him in the past, I found Tell-All slightly predictable in a way none of his other novels have been; it was almost like a big flashing Hollywood sign saying "GET IT?!? IT'S _______ THAT IS DOING EVERYTHING!" It was brought to my attention that because I have read a number of Chuck Palahniuk books, that maybe his style is easier for me to decipher, but the book just seemed quite the contrary. I will continue to read his books, seeing as he is one of my favorite authors, but Tell-All seemed like a lack-luster novel in story-line, with some exceptionally amazing writing (yes, it is possible; writing style and storyline are separate entities).

Part 2: I am still a girl. Not in the child-like "girl" sense, but atomically speaking as well as in the general sense. It's not really a tell-all moment, more like a "well duh" moment.

Enjoy.
