Amy Sedaris' Brother to be in Greensboro April 5

.................................Amy and her brother.

That's right, perhaps the most famous brother in the world, David Sedaris, will be giving a lecture/performance/reading (what does he actually do at one of these things?) at War Memorial Auditorium, pictured below, next month.




Okay, that's not WMA. It's the Library of Congress. But I'll bet none of you knew that!!! Anyway, not to be satisfied with mere tertiary celebrity shoulder rubbing, your's truly, Greensboro's intrepid Boy Reporter, has decided that David Sedaris simply must grant him an interview. I sent the following letter to his agent, Steven Barclay today:

"I say,

I have much respect for Mr. Sedaris's work as an author and brother to Amy Sedaris. However, since he will soon be coming into my town in order to speak at my Auditorium, it is necessary that he offer me a token of respect as well. I represent the HypePipe, Greensboro's oldest and most prestigious (non-boring) blog. We are intrepid to the max, as evidenced by our coverage of Chris Daughtry's down town concert (http://hypepipe.blogspot.com/2007/03/breaking-news-chris-daughtry-ate-cheese.html). Obviously, we stop at nothing to get the steepest angles on the hottest stories.

Fortunately for him, we consider Mr. Sedaris to be pretty hott. However, David must grant me an interview in order to preserve this good standing. If he were to refuse, well, I shan't go making idle threats at this point in time, but suffice it to say I've cried over less. The interview could be conducted via telephone, or email, or you know, whatever, in person. Whatever works. I'm flexx. We'll just have to make sure we get a pic of David holding a sign saying "Pass the Pipe" or "Hypepipe Rules!" or something like that, so people know we're legit.

I want to remind you, no one else will be able to hype David like the HypePipe can. It's really in his interest to do the interview. I mean, we're giving him an opportunity here; it would be foolish, just foolish to refuse. Therefore, I trust I'll be speaking with someone from the agency soon. Till then, I wait with bated breath.

Don't make me cry,

P.S.: Tell Amy I said 'Hi'!"
