We did not sit on the bus, it wasn't really raining and I'm a Duluthian, dammit. At 9:30 some rude woman and her swarm of followers tried to bust in the front of the line, claiming she had a lower number line ticket. We were having none of it. I felt really tough in that crowd and almost threw down on her as she stood in the middle of the store, looking helpless. Back of the line, lady! David signed my book, "Your story has touched my heart." My sister got, "Skin cancer for everyone!" I told him I was going to ask for a condom but since he had already revealed that he traveled with a suitcase full of them, it was kind of pointless. He told me he only gave them to teenagers since I could easily buy them myself. I replied that teenagers could buy them as well, they were just oo embarrassed to do so. I got no condom. But it was really fun in spite of the weather and the Northern Lights Book Shop people were really nice... no, actually, way TOO nice, and I wish they didn't have to wear those unfortunate pink and denim vests, they're horrible. Plus, free cookies from Positively 3rd Street Bakery! Fantastic!! He was funny as hell and I laughed my ass off standing outside the book store last night.

Christa captured the ambiance well in her DNT report. I now have to write my report, though I'm including mention of Fargo, so I don't have to file it til tomorrow morning. I am sure the Duluth event will make it into his repertoire, how many events has he done where it's 40 degrees and cold and windy and rainy, in June, and the store is so small that people have to sit on school buses with the motors running to listen to his presentation piped in? Too funny. I'm just glad I got a *great* seat, about 3 feet away from him. He totally rocked. And, yes, he gave Sam, 18, a condom, and told him to use it up the back side, so he wouldn't lose his virginity.

Tell him you heard he has a suitcase full of them! and tell me later what he says! He told me he didn't know if anyone would show up to see him Monday. I said, are you kidding, you are the most famous person to come to Duluth since George W came to town a few years ago! And no one will protest your visit, like we did him!

I'm bringing all my Sedaris books to the signing. I'm so excited I might have to wear an adult diaper. I’m going to ask him for a condom. I’m bringing all my Sedaris books to the signing.

He had some specific reasons for wanting to go to Duluth. I'll post the link to my story when I write it. He's one funny dude. And, if you are a teenager, you just might get a condom from him during his signing. He's got a suitcase full of them to give out.
