David Sedaris

Ok… So we went to see David Sedaris last night at the SF War Memorial Opera House… That dude is FUCKING FUNNY… I’ve never been too a reading before – and definitely not one that could fill up the opera house – so I’m not sure what I was expecting… But damn.. He had me rolling nearly the whole time…

What I can’t figure out is how much of what he writes actually comes from reality and how much of it is embellished … and I suppose it doesn’t matter… But he told stories about strip poker at slumber parties when he was a kid, his parents strange sleeping patterns, and their beach house as a kid..

What was nearly as funny was watching the two couples in front of us during the show.. It was two straight couples in their 50s or 60s.. We saw them at dinner before and ASSUMED they were going to the symphony or something.. but no – they were directly in front of us for the show.. and they were laughing harder than I was for most of it.. The only thing that didn’t seem to amuse them was when he took questions and was talking about his sister-in-law, who just had a baby, in a rather graphic way.. (actually – the guys were still rolling – but their wives didn’t seem amused)…

anyway – was really fun.. glad matt got us the tickets…
