I know that there are a lot of you out there. Did you know that he is coming to Big Hat Books in Broad Ripple on June 10th? It looks like if you pre-purchase his new book you can guarantee yourself a seat for it. http://bighat.booksense.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp?s=regionalcatalog
I believe that there isn't much room left, so the sooner the better! It should be a blast though!
I hadn't heard about this! I'm a fan of Sedaris. Thanks for posting about this.
I'm there. Reserved my copy a while back. I CAN NOT WAIT.
It was such a sham put out by Big Hat Books. I heard about it the day of the signing in calendar section of indy.com. I went down at 430, waited in line and got in to find out they were only letting in people who pre-bought the book!! The amazingly irritating store owner/manager/whatever told me I could stand and wait until all the ticketed people picked up their book and then I could buy one rather than let me buy a book right there. So I stood there until 6:45 as they OVERSOLD the ticketed books, so after 2 hours waiting with the line still out the door for people who pre-bought the book one of the other employees asked me why I was standing around. I told her the owner/manager/whatever said I could buy a book after everyone went through and she told me that wasn't going to happen. So I wasted almost 3 hours standing around WILLING to buy a book only to be turned away. This was so horribly mismanged. From whomever put the announcement in the paper not mentioning it was for people who prebought the book to the fact they only had 1 cash register and had to look up everyone's name, explain to them how the signing work in between the owner/manager/whatever having a 10 minute conversation with every customer.
