I've crossed off another item on my list of things I have to do before I die. We saw Eddie Izzard last night and it was amazing. Like, better than I had ever imagined it ever being. We were so close that we could see all of his facial expressions and everything, and he was Hot with a capital H dressed like a bloke. I was hurting halfway through from laughing so hard. It was everything I had ever wanted and more.
And the best part?
We met Eddie Izzard. Yes, Erica was close enough to touch the man. After the show we were hanging out around the merchandise table and we noticed that there was this strange roped off area. It turns out that this is where Eddie Izzard goes to do this little question and answer thing after his shows, but everyone keeps it hush-hush, so there were only around 20 people there to talk to him. I stayed in line to get a signed pic and program, so by the time I was done with that there wasn't room for a short girl to see. So I went up on the stairs and looked over the crowd and I kept distracting him by moving.
Also, during a quiet time in the show, Erica yelled out "Eddie, I love you!" which completely got him off track and killed his train of thought. It was amazing.
My life is a little more complete. And I have a deeper appreciation for Eddie Izzard. I had always enjoyed his comic talent, but there is this other layer of a business man (I know, he's been successful in Hollywood), but it surprised me that he's got this core of steel.
*clears throat* Anyways, I deeply admire this man, and we got to meet him. It was one of the best nights in my life.
