David Sedaris reading, tomorrow night at the Union Square Barnes & Noble.
June 4, 2008: Barnes & Noble, Union Square, 7pm
Posted on his agency’s page and the B&N events page. I will be there, and I suggest you get there early. Afterwards I know a lot of people will be drinking/eating at the close by Crocodile Lounge. Get in touch.
I’ll be there with an entourage.
Just as a heads up, I tried to go to the Sedaris reading four years ago at that location when Dress Your Family came out and only got there a half hour early to find the entire floor where he was speaking full, the floor below that (with a closed circuit TV broadcast from the floor above) full and the escalators still packed with people trying to get upstairs.
Here’s a quote from the NYT article the next day:
Eventually, over 1,000 people jammed the bookstore, and many were turned away, including one woman who burst into tears.
Asked afterward what other author stirred such enthusiasm, Dennis Wurst, Barnes & Noble’s manager of author promotions, raised his eyes to the ceiling in thought.
”Maybe Hillary,” he said.
