David Sedaris in Long Beach
// May 5th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // I Love LA.
Stan is the most amazing boyfriend ever. I’m not just saying that cause he’ll read this and then I’ll get some action later. Anyway, he got us tickets to see David Sedaris, who currently happens to be my favorite book author. This was last night and we drove for about an hour down to the Long Beach Terrace Theatre. We were in the 3rd row, the room buzzing with excitement. I turned to see a few rows behind us Jeff Goldsmith, the senior editor of Los Angeles’ Creative Screenwriting Magazine.
“We got better tickets than he did!” Stan stated. Moments later David Sedaris came out onto the stage in what he claimed was a “Pussy Wagon” but in reality it was just some sort of vehicle in the golf cart family.
He started off with a story about a control-freak rabbit whose character he based on an airport employee he met while going through security check. He’d asked why he had to take off his vest since he’d already taken off his shoes and jacket when she yelled “LOSE THE VEST!” Well. “I think I’ll write a fable about you, he silently thought.” With that, I realized once again why I love Sedaris.
