Episode 398, in which our hero gets a book signed.
Jay and I met David Sedaris over the weekend.
He was reading and signing at the Borders near our house. We stood in line for about 2 hours to get him to sign our book. I always feel uneasy when I am about to meet a famous person. I never know what to say, and I worry that if I just let something come out spontaneously, I'll sound like a complete jackass. (Of course, history backs me up on this, as I have sounded like a jackass to all of the celebrities I have ever met.) So when I stood in front of David Sedaris with my partner, I just answered his questions. "How do you two know each other?" he asked. "We're partners," I responded. "And where do you live?" he asked. "Ferndale," I said. "It's just south of here." "That's nice," he said. "Thank you." And he handed us our freshly-signed book. As I walked away, I looked at the book. David Sedaris had written: To Matt and Jason. Two cocksucking homosexuals in Ferndale. I am so going to frame that. |
