there's a bunch of notes i have on seeing both amy tan and david sedaris live, but still they are a bit unorganized so i will just put them out there, on the world wide web - for now here are my notes:

David edaris
Hearing his coming out story, his actual life experience told as he wants it.

Different moments of humor

The power of ‘confessional’ lyric writing vs. hearing it performed aloud

Experiences are more vivid?

References another writer, Susan Sheehan, shocked to find no one has read her work

Bar run by midgets in Manilla, then “sells” Tokyo

Proudest to be published in New Yorker, will leave the table of contents open and walk by and look at it in pleasant surprise.
