David Sedaris is going to be at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on October 7th. I just bought tickets to see him with my mom and Annie.

One time, while incarcerated at the Shell Knob State Confinatentuary, she confessed to herself—while looking in the mirror—that she was the Wigfield Maniac. Likes to take naps in the coolness of Hollinger’s Morgue.
