...fucking incredible.

I've killed "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" and "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" in about 2 days.

Anyone else a fan?  One of the best authors out there.

Are you kidding me?  I LOVE David Sedaris!

I'm holding tickets for Oct. 31st at the Schnitz in Portland-that shit sells out months in advance; can't hardly wait!  This will be my 3rd time seeing him read.  He's so fantastic.

D'accord? ;D

PS: GGG, you must read "Me Talk Pretty".  Go. Now.  Do it.
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

I've got tickets to see him in April in Greenville SC.  Way too excited.

And, yes, I will go get Me Talk Pretty One Day.

just finished "engulfed in flames" today!

i love his writing.  something i noticed in "dress your family...":  his writing is always funny but he's developed this talent for ending his stories with an understated emotional wallop.

*am now wondering if i've waited too long to get tix to see him at UCLA next spring...last time i went i did get the tix about 5 mos. in advance...*
