One ball!

[shappyshaps]

Last night, I went to the SoHo Apple Store to see Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello discuss the SWC movie. dream_aloud and st_raoul were supposed to come, too, but Janis hurt her neck, so I ventured out alone.
I left work right after the dress rehearsal was finished, and I arrived downtown at around 7. Every seat in the theatre was already taken, so I stood up front

This entire post is DELIGHTFUL! I love finally seeing the back of the CD sampler sleeve! I'd seen the front (people who picked them up at BookExpo America are selling them on eBay) but I hadn't seen the back. The picture on the back is FANTASTIC. I hope photos from that shoot are used liberally throughout the book. Amy sent e-mailed me some pics from that shoot a couple months ago, and they're like, just about the best pictures of her. Ever. Someone just sent me a rip of the CD. It's downloading now. I can't wait to listen to it! "I Like You" is going to be the most amazing book ever published.

Ahhhhh! You got a movie poster! So lucky!

I hope Amy resends your calendar! You'll love it. It's super queer. This is what it looks like. I have it hanging in my kitchen, so I can see it every day. Also, it's still on January, because I refuse to rip off the pages, hahaha.

Amy has a crazier memory than I do, and never again will I doubt it's power.YES! I've noticed this as well. And she'll remember the most random details--like some little

Sorry for the lag in replying. I've been so busy!

Amy's such a Hottie McHotpants, and I love it when she does these silly-sexy photoshoots. After all, the funny bone is my favorite erogenous zone.

I know! I was so excited when I saw they were giving these out. It's only a one-sheet, but it's still better than nothing. I wonder if they're going to give out more at the screening this Friday. If they are, I'll definitely grab one for you.

I hope Amy resends your calendar! You'll love it. It's super queer.I really hope she resends it. I love her craft projects. She sent me a few of her handicrafts during our correspondence, and I keep all of them in a special box in my room. I always tried to send her equally awesome homemade things, but hers would always kick my ass. The greatest thing she ever gave me, though, was a life-sized crocheted Little Debbie cupcake

Yes! We should definitely try to meet up in NY. That would be a blast. And you know Tony Lagarto from working on the movie, right? I'm coming up with him, and our friend Jill (slapsomeone on LJ), who's also in touch with Amy. We're coming up next Monday--probably sometime in the afternoon--and then coming back on Thursday. I'm always up for meeting other Amy fanatics. It would be a lot of fun, especially since we'd all have stories about her to swap, haha.

Oh man, we should totally meet up. And yes, I know Tony. There's a picture of me somewhere on his site from the wrap party. I'd love to see him just so I could give him a disc of photos from the movie set, (I'm having issues sending the files). Maybe on Monday night? I know some good spots around town. From what I've read, you seem to enjoy hookah bars, and I know a couple fun ones. Just IM me and we can work out the details, or if you don't have AIM, I can just give you my cell number. :)

Amy's memory amazes me, mainly because my memory is absolutely INSANE, yet she remembers even more than I do. I think it's just one of those things that adds to how awesome she is, because fans will always remember exact details of their encounters with celebrities, but to have the celebrity actually remember you and what you said? It really makes you feel special.

I've seen a picture of him online, and he looks really short. Is he? Amy and David are both pint-size, so I've always wondered which parent they got that from (or both).If I

[craftybeaver]

This will be fun! I'm excited! I'll IM you this week and we can figure it out. The premiere is Tuesday night (well, I assume it's in the evening), but other than that, we don't have anything set in stone. The hookah actually gave me a bad headache after a while, so I'm not exactly in any rush to smoke again anytime soon, hahaha... But I'm game for whatever. I'm just looking forward to hanging out with another Amy fanatic, lol!

I'm surprised to hear that Lou is an average height. Sharon must've been really petite. I've seen a couple pictures of Paul and he looks EXACTLY how one would imagine him from reading David's books! That's hilarious that he's just like how David describes him to be. I love Amy's imitation of him as well... "I know! I'll mail pot to me, from me! That way they know where to find me if they find it!" HAHA! Does he actually talk with a heavy accent? Who's the 5th Sedaris you've met? Paul's wife, Kathy? I remember reading that she was an extra (prisoner on the bus).

[shappyshaps]

Okay, so no hookah. Can do. Do you like karaoke? I know the awesomest Korean karaoke bar down in K-Town. It's totally zany and weird. I also know some other spots that might be fun. We could always, you know, eat or something. It's all up to you guys and what you want to do. I have the feeling it's going to be fun no matter what.

It's funny, when I met Lou, he was the first Sedaris actually on eye level with me. The others are so short! I mean Amy's teeny next to me, (but then again, she's so slight to begin with). And just because I thought this picture is funny to juxtapose with the other, here's me with Greg Hollimon. I look absolutely sweaty and disgusting in these photos, but the wrap party was about 2000 degrees and I was very drunk

[craftybeaver]

I've actually never done karaoke (I'm a TERRIBLE singer, so I don't even try, hahahaha) but I think it would be hilarious to watch other people. So seriously, I'm game for whatever, because like you said, I'm sure we'll have fun no matter what we end up doing.

Those are great pictures of you with Amy and Greg! Amy's so teeny tiny. I have a couple pictures from the first time I met her, and I hate it because next to her, I look like a monster. And I'm only 5'5" and average, but she's just sooooooo little

[craftybeaver]

PS. That's so awesome how she gave you a crotched cupcake. What other handicrafts of hers do you have? Amy's crafts are the BEST, haha. The calendar's the only thing I have, but she sent my friend a couple things when her rabbit died last summer, and they were great.

BTW, one of the best things about that calendar is that it was printed out on photo paper on her inkjet. Hahahahahaha!

[shappyshaps]

I have one of her Land O Lakes hidden boobs cards, some stickers, a postcard, and some other random stuff that I can't remember right now. The cupcake is the biggest thing I own, but she didn't make it. I made her a skirt after the film wrap, and that kind of started the whole exchange. One of my favorite things I did for her is adorning a letter to her with dancing fingerprint bunnies.

I can't wait to see the calendar. I hope hope hope hope hope she resends it. Half of it may be useless by now, but I still want to see it.

[craftybeaver]

Ooooh, that's so cool how you guys sent little presents back and forth! Aside from the calendar, I've gotten 2 boxes of hay (she stuffed garbage bags with hay, boxed it up and mailed it. The first time, she even shipped it UPS and included pinecones and a container of bunny pellets, HAHAHAHA), a pin with a picture of Jerri Blank wearing donkey ears, and she sent a book of Flatpoint High matches, but some fucktard with the postal service sliced open the side of the envelope and stole them.

Oh my God, the calendar is a hoot. Like I said, it was printed out on her inkjet with photo paper, then it's covered in layers of packing tape to give it a hi-gloss finish. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[shappyshaps]

Oh, I have a bunch of pins, too! The head hair person for the film, Stephen, had dozens of SWC pins made and then gave them out to the cast and crew. People began to use them for bartering because some were cooler than others. Just because I lose pins like crazy, I keep them in this cabinet-thing that was a set piece in Jerri's room. It's so fucking sweet. It's got severed fingers on top, a torched Barbie head, and it came complete with a can of Spam, decks of cards, and a confederate shot glass! Here's a picture of it in Jerri's room.

P.S.- By the way, it's so great to finally be able to show these pics to someone. I've never really gotten an opportunity. :)

[craftybeaver]

Oh my God, that's awesome! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! I like the big hand in the vase to the left of the cabinet. That's so nasty. That's so cool that you got to keep that stuff.

Yeah, I got the pin like a month after the movie wrapped, so I'm sure that's what it was from.

I LOVE seeing these photos. Feel free to upload any others, haha! Do you have a picture or scan of the photo that Amy signed for you where she's covered in vomit? I'd love to see that one.
