You'll have to take my word about Sedaris being in this photo!
My mom was a Sedaris fan for eons before I was; she actually used to read me passages from Me Talk Pretty One Day. This was her first time seeing Sedaris in the flesh, and that alone was a joy to see.
We were also able to have our books signed afterwards. Even though David Sedaris has a huge following and rates the Aronoff Theater, he still takes a gracious moment to really talk with each person whose book he signs. In my mom's copy of When You Are Engulfed in Flames, he drew a picture of an elephant spraying water on itself; in my copy of Barrel Fever, he wrote a French word that he had just learned: quel gourqondine. I can't find anything online about what that term means. Thoughts?
What a fantastic evening downtown-- the whole city was hopping with Bengals fans, Reds fans, and Disney on Ice fans. I love the feeling of a bustling Cincinnati!
