David Sedaris visited Denver, to a packed house at the Buell.
The stage was still set for Wicked, but he looked great under the giant dragon!
Hubby and I last saw him years before out in Southern California – so we didn’t feel the need to pay the big bucks to see up his nose!
We were waaaay up in the balcony – 3 rows from the back! We could see pretty well, but of course the fun of “seeing” David Sedaris is to hear him read his stories.
He read a couple excerpts from his next book! We hope he calls it “Animal Stories” – you’ll have to wait and see when it comes out!
NPR – KUNC (did you know they do a 1 day donation drive? how cool is that) and The Tattered Cover were there to support him and he supported them right back!Very cool!
His suggested reading this time around was “Our Dumb World”
It sounded hysterical and I think at least one person might be getting if for Christmas this year!
He also suggested a weird recommendation for TV or internet viewing was a show on BBC called The Specials – Sounded interesting…Weird, but interesting.
The crowd was well behaved, creepily well versed in Mr Sedaris’s life, family and habits, and just happy to have him in their midst! The hour and a half flew by and we all moaned when he left the stage.
