One of the revelations at David Sedaris's reading last night was a revelation not for the audience, but for Sedaris. Karen Brown, our Associate Director of Performance Operations, made oatmeal cookies for the backstage crew using craisins (that is to say, dried cranberries). Craisins were a completely new idea for Sedaris and it popped up throughout the evening: "You leave the country and things happen," he said.
Here's a report from Karen about the signing after the show:
"Sedaris asked about every third person in line at the signing tonight a Craisin related question. Recipes. Horror stories. Love stories. All about the dried cranberries. But, the very best part of the night was when 3 people from the marketing firm for Ocean Spray came up to the signing and had 3 bags of Craisins and got them signed by David Sedaris. One of the bags is now going home with David as a gift to Hugh."
UPDATE: "Can you sign our Craisins?" - one of the folks who brought Craisins for David Sedaris to sign lets us peer into the marketing bunker...
