Longtime GalleyCat readers will recognize Amanda ReCupido as this blog's roving correspondent, who's sent in field reports (and photographs) from some of the parties and lectures that I (now we) weren't able to attend, like last month's launch party for Sex and Sensibility, a collection of cartoons by women associated with The New Yorker, edited by Liza Donnelly.
