i’m jealous of… well, me!
Last night was a pretty exciting evening for The Jealous Curator. I finally got to meet David Sedaris, my favourite writer ever! Not only did I get to say hello, and have a copy of When You Are Engulfed in Flames signed, I also got to put my Hanging with David Sedaris pitch directly into his hands. At this stage, I don’t even care if he says yes, I was just so thrilled to talk to him about it in person… Ok, who am I kidding, I really want him to say yes! Well, regardless of what happens next, his readings were hilarious, and he was kind and gracious about my idea. Such a fun night!
{Thanks so much to my wing man for coming with me… you know who you are.}
Yipee yipee yipee.
Good for you. You are so brave. Good vibes out there. He will say yes o yes he will say yes.

congrats! hopefully all goes well for you …. keep up the amazing work, site looks great.
Thanks! I’ll keep you all posted.
Hey! That’s great! Your original idea inspired me to actually read my first DS book: WYAEIF, and I loved it too. There was also a great segment he did on a podcast for This American Life: The Book that Changed Your Life episode. He spoke about a dirty magazine he found as a child and how is subsequently passed through various hands, shaping childhood ideas about sexuality – FUNNY!
Hope he gets back to you!

Oh I’m so glad you read your first one! Isn’t he amazing? You have to get a few of his books on CD as well. He reads them like no one else can!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for your pitch – LOVE this website … very jealous and very inspired. I love simple ideas that take on a life of their own.
Thanks Charlotta! Alas, David Sedaris said no. I still think it’s a cool idea. I have a few writer friends working on some great novels, so perhaps this is how they’ll launch their books… they better not say no to me!
