We Like Her, We Really Like Her

"What are you doing on October 31st?" Seth asked while we loitered around the bookstore.
"Giving out candy while you take Sage trick or treating," I answered.
"You might change your plans," he said, noting that Amy Sedaris would be at the downtown Powells that evening.
Since I was just at that moment hungrily leafing through her new book I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, a lavishly illustrated twist on those 1950s how-to-entertain books. In it, Ms. Sedaris shares her secrets on how to throw unforgettable bashes. With notes on everything from applying the perfect kohl to your eyes for your Greek party to making felt-covered pencil cups with rude or obscene sayings on them, this book can give you a whole lifestyle makeover. And she even providesthe recipe for her famous cupcakes!
