Anxious fans held onto their canary yellow copies of Amy Sedaris' book "Simple Times" at Indigo on Richmond & John St. on Monday November 29.
Sedaris, actress and author, was set to make an appearance at the Toronto book store to sign her book and take part in an interview with MTV's Dan Levy.
With the small stage set up on the top floor, prepped with chairs and a table full of household food items, the crowd was ready to see her live.
By 7:00pm, three lines had formed and people were lined up along the railing; luckily I got there early enough to get a seat.
An aisle formed and Dan & Amy walked happily towards the platform, welcomed by the cheering crowd. Wearing a colourful sleeveless dress, making it hard to believe that it was freezing cold outside, Sedaris took a seat across Levy.
They began with questions about her book and it gradually went on about aspects of her life.
A short clip from the interview:
After the short interview, Sedaris did a demonstration, recreating a few of the crafts from her book, with help from a couple audience members. One of her creations was a 'candle salad' - involving lettuce, a banana, mayonnaise and maraschino cherries...interesting.
Following the craft session, she took questions from the audience. People asked about random topics - from advice about what to do in New York City to questions about her TV character Jerri Blank. She even received an invitation to do crafts at someone's house - in which she replied "I'd rather shoot my left arm" or something like that haha.
Then the signing began. It was very organized.
Afterwards, I caught up with Dan Levy before he left, just in time to get a quick photo.
I quite enjoy these Indigo events! :)
