David Sedaris in San Marcos Friday night
Humorist and author David Sedaris may be dressed up in denim this weekend, as he will be visiting Hastings in San Marcos. You read that correctly. Sedaris in San Marcos.
The New York Times bestselling author has a massive following in Austin, as evidenced by his sold-out shows and the long snaking lines present at each of his book-singing appearances here. Apparently his fame stretches down the IH-35 corridor, as he is scheduled to be in both San Marcos and San Antonio this weekend.
Considering how difficult it can be to see Sedaris in Austin, it may be worth your time to head down the road to catch him in San Marcos.
Sedaris is touring in support of the recent paperback release of “When You Are Engulfed in Flames.”

San Marcos is a little underestimated in this article. A friend of mine is still in line there at 8:30…so she’s been there for at least 2 1/2 hours. Even though our population is 1/15 of Austin’s, we’re not all slack-jawed illiterates that won’t show up when a well-respected author comes to town.
Then again, maybe most of them are people who live in Austin and drove out here after reading this article. :)
