Beware the Gonzo, an indie teen comedy in which Amy stars alongside Jesse McCartney, Ezra Miller, Zoe Kravitz, Campbell Scott and James Urbaniak, will premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Schedule and ticketing information will be available on the Tribeca Film Festival website.

Synopsis:
Eddie “Gonzo” Gilman is starting a revolution. When the wild-eyed rebel journalist is ousted from his prep school’s newspaper by its über-popular editor, Eddie fronts an underground movement to give a voice to all the misfits, outcasts, and nerds. Soon the power of the press is in Eddie’s hands… but will he use it wisely? Ezra Miller, Jesse McCartney, Zoë Kravitz, Campbell Scott and Amy Sedaris star in this pitch-perfect teen comedy.

Amy is apparently appearing on today’s Martha Stewart Show to make merit badges. Check your local listings for the time (it’s different everywhere). Sorry for the short no notice, but I just now found out about this myself. Fortunately, I think a video will be posted on the show website later (which I’ll add a link to here once it’s up).

Edit: Amy’s full appearance is now available on marthastewart.com (her segments are “How do you roll?” and “Martha’s merit badges).

More details about Amy’s forthcoming craft book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People:

America’s most delightfully unconventional hostess and the bestselling author of I Like You delivers a new book that will forever change the world of crafting. According to Amy Sedaris, it’s often been said that ugly people craft and attractive people have sex. In her new book, SIMPLE TIMES, she sets the record straight. Demonstrating that crafting is one of life’s more pleasurable and constructive leisure activities, Sedaris shows that anyone with a couple of hours to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.

You will discover how to make popular crafts, such as: crab-claw roach clips, tinfoil balls, and crepe-paper moccasins, and learn how to: get inspired (Spend time at a Renaissance Fair; Buy fruit, let it get old, and see what shapes it turns into); remember which kind of glue to use with which material (Tacky with Furry, Gummy with Gritty, Paste with Prickly, and always Gloppy with Sandy); create your own craft room and avoid the most common crafting accidents (sawdust fires, feather asphyxia, pine cone lodged in throat); and cook your own edible crafts, from a Crafty Candle Salad to Sugar Skulls, and many more recipes.

PLUS whole chapters full of more crafting ideas (Pompom Ringworms! Seashell Toilet Seat Covers!) that will inspire you to create your own hastily constructed obscure d’arts; and much, much more!

Amy will be guest starring on the March 24th episode of The Middle (on ABC) as a hardcore motivational consultant:

THE MIDDLE – “The Fun House” – Frankie fears her job at the car dealership may be on the line when hardcore motivational consultant Abby (Amy Sedaris, “Strangers with Candy”) is hired to whip the sales staff into shape. Meanwhile, with Frankie putting in extra hours at work, Mike has to deal with issues at home, including getting a pool table in order to make the house more fun for Axl and his friends, giving advice to Sue’s slightly confused ex-boyfriend, and helping Brick with a school project, on “The Middle,” WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network

A pre-order listing on Amazon.com reveals that Amy’s new book will be titled Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, and will be released on November 2, 2010. At 288 pages, it will be about the same size as I Like You. An audiobook version will also be available.
