reader, meet author....
I had heard that Eddie Izzard does a meet & greet after his shows - signs some autographs, takes a picture or two, etc. All one has to do is wait around after his show for a while and he emerges.....
I did not have tickets to his Thursday night show... I had tickets to his Friday night show... but Thursday, I started toying with the idea of going down and trying to get a picture and also, to give him a little gift..... people have made T-shirts for the Moz so I had made one for Eddie..... furthermore, I knew that my brother and Mr. Lost would not want to wait around to catch a glimpse of the man when we all went to the Friday night show so I thought, what better time to get to meet him than Thursday night, after the show?
I packed my "stalker" bag - camera, 2 different Eddie DVD's, sharpie marker, gun, flashlight, the T-Shirt I made..... you know, the usual ;)
I drove downtown listening to Boyracer full blast......
Well, i found a group of people waiting and joined them..... I large security guard came out a few times and counted us..... then Eddie emerged - but unfortunately, he didn't do any personalized signatures or pictures, instead, he did a Q&A with everyone all together and that was it.... I of course, could not think of a single thing to ask, so I just stood there smiling like an idiot..... and also, i was too shy to give him my t-shirt in front of everyone, so whatever. I did get a picture...
and Friday night's show was 'the dog's bollocks' so all in all, a good time despite my complete failure as a stalker......
The T-shirt will get tossed onstage in San Francisco.... that's the best I can do...... maybe he'll get it, maybe he won't....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
speaking of purse contents..... there was a distinct moment when I realized I carry a really freaking wierd collection of crap in my purse.... and that moment was when I went to the courthouse to collect my little brother's driver's license for him...... I had to pass through the metal detector and then I had to open my purse..... the officer looked very confused....... I had all the normal stuff, wallet, keys, lipstick, hairclips - but then I also had wood glue...... (I had bought it to fix a crack in my dining room table but then decided that I don't know how to fix a crack in a table and I'll just make it worse, so I had meant to go back to the store and return the wood glue - so I kept it in my purse for about a month and then just threw it out) and duct tape.... he didn't want to let me through with the wood glue - apparently it can be used to make a bomb or something.....
then recently, I've noticed myself getting nervous going to the grocery store because I always have an apple + 1 other fruit in my purse..... one day, they will claim I've stolen the fruit..... so before I enter the grocery store, I have to make sure my purse is fruit-free...... I must de-fruit my purse.....
I just took a peek now and I have a cpr mouth kit in there..... an apple.... a plastic ziplock bag (empty)... a ticket stub and a packet of green tea.....
I'm such a pack rat......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
