Go to a David Sedaris booktour event, get free stuff from the man himself. The Ottawa Citizen reports.

If I was a famous author and doing a huge 20-city booktour, I think I’d give away some of those cheap plastic buckets and spades so everyone could go and play on the beach. After all the stress of getting to the event, and then listening to whatever dross I had to say and then lining up to get my signature, it would be a good way to chill out.
