Any David Sedaris fans?

I recently read 'Me talk pretty one day'. OMG, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. And sitting alone on a plane, no less. It's a good thing I was on one of those tiny, really loud planes, or everyone would have been staring at me.

I'm jealous.

Ohhh, that sounds like fun!

...going to look up his appearances...

And she was Jerri Blank on "Strangers with Candy." 

Bump - so we saw him Sunday night.  My wife and I were both sitting there before the show wondering "so what does the typical DS fan look like?"  All kinds of folks showed up, and he was hilarious.  The time passed so quickly, I think he only read 3-4 stories, but they were great, all new stuff.  Before we knew it, the nearly 2 hours was up.  When the lights came up I thought it was intermission, but it was over.

He also takes questions from the audience so gets to do some ad libbing.

I didn't know it but he signs books before and after the show, and he picks someone out of the line to introduce him.  Here he picked a 16 year old kid, it was pretty cool.

He's like the gay Garrison Kiellor

Garrison Keillor's not gay?

Oh...and DS has a CD. It's hillarious. 

Ditto.  

I got  hooked on Sedaris several years ago while reading Naked.  It may have helped that at the time I was stoned out of my gourd, but I think I laughed uncontrollably for several hours, even after I finished the book.  I've continued to read his work (without the gourd stoning, though) and enjoy his appearances on TAL and would love to hear him read his work live.  

Lucky you!
