One ball!
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 ( Read more... )

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 recall correctly, Lou is about my height, (5'10.5"), maybe a little shorter. Paul is definitely shorter than me, around David's height. Also, just for the record, Paul is exactly like David describes him in his book.
And HAHAHAHAHAHA at Amy feeding Dusty all those treats! It must be so hard to resist when a bunny gives you the "Can I please have a treat?" face, though. I know I can hardly resist when my cats do it to me, and they aren't nearly half as cute as a bunny is.

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).

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.
But, yeah, Paul is just like David describes him. I have a good story to tell you about when I met him when you guys come to the city. (It's a little long to tell here.) And Kathy is the fifth Sedaris I met, but now that I think about it, I also met Paul and Kathy's baby, so does that bring my total up to six? Their baby is adorable. I knit it a hat after the film was wrapped and I stitched a little felt baby rooster to the front. I wonder if it ever actually made it to them...

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!
Oh! I can't wait to hear your story about Paul! I love hearing/reading anything about him. One of my favorite stories is one Amy told during an on-stage interview in San Francisco a couple years ago (you've probably heard this). Their family does draws names to exchange Christmas gifts, and one year Paul got David. So, Paul gave him a stocking that had the N-word written on it, with a fake gun inside. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awwww, you got to meet Maddy! There was a photo of her in GQ a couple years ago when David's "Baby Einstein" essay was published in it. She was adorable! I know she's in a photo in Amy's book. I can't wait to see.
