Homo-Sapiens eye for the Cro-Magnon guy

So, I have these swatches of moss for the walls of my cave, where do you live?
Uuuh, in a pit of my own excrement.
(yes technically, it is a spoiler but trust me, it will be funnier when Eddie does it so it doesn’t really spoil anything and might be funnier here once you have seen Eddie)

eeeeeee! Eddie Izzard!!!!
Saw the show last night and it was wonderful. We had bk2w,tshuma,jd5p,chrisfs as well as myself at the top of the theater. angelbob was there with someone I met for the first time so I don’t have her lj name (if she has one) and they were sitting in the mezzanine section. nosferkatu found me (yay!!). She came in from Las Vegas to see the show and got a ground floor seat. A friend R found me and I had no clue she was going to be there and she is the only non-lj person that I founds. The only one I missed was redhawke who I think was suppose to be there but I have never actually met so it is no surprise that didn’t happen. My ace in the hole to spot him was internet_addict and he was unable to make it.

nosferkatu had the inside scoop that Eddie comes out after every show to greet his fans. So after merchandise was bought, we clustered around the stage door awaiting the funny bloke himself. We got signatures and pictures. It was neat. I am such a geeky fan. :)

I am guessing that I might have to reevaluate my popularity scoring. I figure I am pretty popular but only a minor star. Last night, I am standing in one place and people are coming out of the woodwork and I am trying to keep everyone introduced. I know a lot of people. I guess it is one of the benefits of being tall and relatively unique looking, people can spot me and know it is me so they come to me. I love that. I am so oblivious that I would walk by friends and not have a clue if they didn’t say something.

All in all, it was a good night and I am happy I did it. I even got the pictures uploaded onto my site.

  1. The pretty lady in the yummy dress and shawl with is . . o O ( Mmmmm, legs. )

    Eddie!!! It was cool to see him, and so unexpected. And cool to see you, too. Three times in seven days is like an all-time record. =)

  2. Sorry, we missed each other. Our group was up in the balcony, so it doesn’t sound like we were far away from you. Hmmm.

    OK, does this mark me as a geek that, while I enjoyed the show immensely, I got stuck on the fact that homo sapiens and cro magnon are one and the same, and what he was referring to as cro magnon was neanderthal man? Oh well, at least I didn’t heckle him on it…

    1. Oh, trust me, you weren’t the only one sitting up there thinking, “But….but….that’s not right!”

      But for the sake of the humour…. I let it go. How noble of us both. ;)

    2. We were upper balcony, Row C201-C205. Close to center stage, three rows from the edge.

      You weren’t the only one that got stuck on the cro magnon/neanderthal switch. I noticed a number of twitches around me at that point.

  3. EDDiE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GINA!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again for rescuing me with your trusty camera! You take great pics & thanks again sooooooooooooo much!!!! I’ll get the ones I took to ya after I get home, OK?

  4. I like that song. I didn’t the first time I heard it but it’s definately grown on me so now I turn the volumn way up and sing along.

    I didn’t know you like country. You’ve found the new radio station, yes? the blessed 95.7 which you can get all over the bay area as opposed to the formerly blessed (read back when I lived in the south bay) 95.3 which you can’t get north of hayward? *happy wiggle*

    1. I grudgingly admit to liking country music. It happened when I moved to California. Don’t understand why but that seems to be it. I will qualify that I don’t like old country. The stuff I got stuck on is Young Country in the late 90s. (I think it is the Country/Pop crossover stuff). Then the station Young Country changed format and I quit for awhile.

      Now I have found CMT (Country Music channel) on cable. And I saw the video for Real Good Man by Tim McGraw. Oh, drool. Can I have some of that? :)
