What's the weather like up your own ass?

Marc with Paul Dinello, Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris (Strangers With Candy, Wigfield)
At the Somerville Theatre, Somerville, Massachusetts
June 14, 2003

Rather than conduct a standard book tour, the authors of Wigfield put together a series of staged readings and sold tickets. This was brilliant for two reasons: 1) the performance that resulted was hilarious, with each of them reading the lines of each of the book's characters underneath a pictures of what those characters looked like, which created a neatly amusing cognitive dissonance when watching a sharply dressed Sedaris reading the lines of the deranged and infantile Mayor Charles Halstead as the latter's horrifying picture was projected above her head; and 2) the thing where they actually make money regardless of whether anybody buys the book. Me, I bought two. Happy birthday, Jeremy!
