You know, people would just get up and read for an hour.

And we were trying to sort of shake that up.

And I saw Arthur who's like a filmmaker the other night and we were just reminiscing.

He would buy an acoustic guitar in every town we would tour in.

And then he told the story while he played.

And then he would, during a crescendo of the story, he'd raise it up above his head and then smash it as like the punctuation mark of the story.

And then a stagehand would come out and hand him a new guitar.

And then he'd finish the story with his acoustic guitar.

So he had to buy two guitars in every town we went to.

But it was a ridiculously fun time.

But to think that at this point, like, I don't love getting on stage.

I don't love having to follow They Might Be Giants or anything like that.

It's like, I can't believe that we did that.

Because these days, I'm much more content to be in a smaller setting, a bookstore setting, not a big...

But at the time, we thought, well, maybe we could make books slightly less sedate and slightly less predictable.

Have you ever been to a Sedaris reading?

Yeah, sure.

That was right then.

Naked had come out.

1,500 people would come, and he would just read his work.
