David Sedaris at Crossgates tonight
Author David Sedaris will be at the Crossgates Borders tonight for a book signing. His new book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, came out this week.
The event starts at 7 pm. He always seems like a popular draw in this area, so you might want to show up early.

I'm hoping you can buy the book there. All I have is a paperback of one of his older ones and I'd feel stupid bringing that. Can you tell I've never been to a book signing before?

Saw him at Palace last year and he was hilarious!
Yeah Ellsass the whole point of a book signing is to sell his newest book! ;-)

No one told me he was going to do a reading and talk! I took my time and moseyed up around 7:45 to find him finishing up before resuming the signing. The manager said the line was twice as long before he stopped to talk; there were ~80 people there with me, so I'm guessing ~150 before -- not a bad turnout. I waited a while and had nothing to say but he managed to fill the awkward silence and now I've got my book. Yay.

I was there too and I brough an older hard cover copy of Holidays on Ice for him to sign. I think my friend and I creeped him out because when we asked him out for a drink he mumbled something about not doing anything fun and then he turned around to ask for food. I should've known better. I'm not good with celebrities who aren't AOA commenters.
