David Sedaris comes to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Tuesday, November 10th for an evening of readings, musings, a Q&A, and a book signing following the release of his newest book, The Land and Its People. Books will be available to buy at the event.
If you have a client who’s a big reader, David Sedaris fan, or feels passionate about elegant civic auditoriums, this is a good one to run by them.
To make an evening of it in Old Town Pasadena, here are a few good restaurants that are open on Tuesdays and within walking distance:
Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery: Classic New American fare (and cheese)
Union: Handmade pasta and Northern Italian cooking
Bone Kettle: Southeast Asian fare (part-owned by a fellow media colleague and MeetWell supporter!)
Details
Where: Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 E. Green St., Pasadena
When: Tuesday, November 10th at 7:30pm
Tickets: Range $180 to $350 on Ticketmaster, StubHub, and SeatGeek.
Added Value: Being the beloved to an English teacher, I have been dutifully whipped into shape and become a better reader. David Sedaris is one of our favs and we actually saw him do a similar reading performance a few years ago at the same spot. Vibes and levels of adoration were high, sort of like BTS fandom, but for the NPR, book nerd crowd. The line to get your book signed was impossibly long, and he stuck around and signed every last one (which I know because we waited in that long ass line!).
