I would suggest Morticia Addams but it's too easy.

Do you have any plans to do more performance art like the living statue you did while Ash was in your belly? Of all the Things you have Thinged I can't possibly pick s favorite, but that one was wicked cool.


You don't have to read this next part because it's not a question.

I started listening to theater is evil on the way to visit my grandmother during her chemo treatment. I had quit my job and spent a month with her just loving her and reading your blog. Anthony was sick, too.

He passed. I went home from Texas. One week later, my grandmother followed.

I was so gutted. I drove around my neighborhood listening to lost and crying.

Then you released machete. You put my grief into words. I started learning to play it immediately but only recently have been able to play the full song without just stopping to cry.

I saw you in Boulder. Right after Trump was inaugurated. Right after you had gotten into a car accident and decided the Show would Go On. And you passed a blanket around the crowd. And said the blanket would stretch and cover everyone and eventually there would be no one outside the blanket but one man and we would invite him in with loving arms because that is what. we. do.

On Saturday I marched for the first time. A man in a pickup truck laid on his horn with his finger out the window. I stared at him for a second before telling him I loved him.

You are such a beautiful soul and you have improved my life so much.

Thank you.

Ps I have a cactus named Amanda Fucking Palmer that has been with me all this time through death and divorce and other life changes. She's rad as hell and nothing can kill her.

Dandelions are tenacious. Those fuckers can grow anywhere. I think that's a very appropriate flower for you.

Stoked as always for more art!

No question, just want to say I LOVE your books. I haven't gotten into a series like the Sookie books since Harry Potter. You have built an incredible world with wonderful characters. Thank you :)

Mr. Sedaris, I am a huge fan of yours. I have reread when you are engulfed in flames more than any other book. Sorry if this has already been asked but is there any particular book you've read the most?
