Edward McKay

Last Thursday, October 8th, Ed McKay’s was given the opportunity to sell books during An Evening With David Sedaris at War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro. It was delightful. In addition to being “shrewd,” “wickedly funny,” and “one of America’s most prickly and most delicious […] comic talents,” Mr. Sedaris is an exceptionally generous public speaker. For example, he likes to find independent bookstores to sell the merchandise at his events; that’s why we got to be there. Mr. Sedaris implored the audience to shop at Ed McKay’s, adding that he did so all the time. Additionally, Mr. Sedaris limited ticket sales to 1200 (the auditorium seats 2376) because he wanted to be able to talk to everybody. Which he did. For hours. And hours. And seemed to enjoy. In earnest.

If you weren’t able to go this time, please don’t despair. We have many new and autographed copies of each of his books and audiobooks available in Greensboro (we’re sorry we can’t accept trade credit for them since they are brand new). Perfect for the holidays. Come and get them while supplies last!

He’ll be here on Thursday! David Sedaris, bestselling author of several books including Me Talk Pretty One Day and When You Are Engulfed in Flames, will be in Greensboro October 8th at War Memorial Auditorium!

We’ve got the books and we’re ready to rock! We’ll have tables set up before and after the event to sell books for Mr. Sedaris to sign.

There’s still time to get tickets! You can buy them through Ticketmaster.

Thanks to everyone who came by the Heathens Art Show on September 19, 2009 in Fayetteville. We were delighted (and happily surprised!) by the large numbers of people who came by to listen to the music and check out the artwork. Below is a small sample of what was available in the David Bowie Room that evening.

Of course, the Fayetteville Edward McKay’s will continue to have plenty of events, including music, art, and book signings. Watch this site for news and announcements!
