Stripped

Earlier tonight (well, last night), me, my sister, [livejournal.com profile] dahlianna, [livejournal.com profile] the_dark_snack, and [livejournal.com profile] beldar went downtown to see Eddie Izzard's "Stripped" tour live at the Murat Theatre. After his two-hour show, we waited along with about a couple hundred other people at the stage entrance for about an hour (passing the time by enjoying the passing parade of prom-goers leaving the other part of the theater ... and who undoubtedly wondered what the hell all us old people were doing waiting like a bunch of fucking groupies for the Stones, LOL). The Sister managed to get a few photos on her camera phone, so don't expect great quality below the cut ...

(The Pike High School is a joke we haven't figured out how to spin just yet *G* - ideas are welcome.)


Eddie finally coming out to greet his public. He signed something for everyone who wanted an autograph (I had my ticket signed, since I had nothing else on me - I'll get a small frame for it soon and hang it up).

The Sister had nothing for him to sign - so she turned her purse into a canvas and he put his John Hancock on that (no, it will probably NOT be going up on eBay, LOL):

You can wrestle her for it in October!

Nah, she can keep the purse. I'm more jealous that you got to attend one of his shows.

Between the gay bar, Eddie, and the Sam Winchester look-alike in our row at the concert, the night pretty much rocked.

I haz an Izzard purse. Yayz!

The gay bar was awesome! And raiding the bathroom for the safe sex kits was just good fun. Of course the best part was when we got to the show and the security guy asked to check our bags for video cameras. I very willingly let him see, telling him loudly that the only thing I had were prophylactics from the gay bar.

But Ver ruined my good fun by not letting me pass one with my number on it down to the Sam Winchester look-alike. I would've checked for ID first!! (of course, I'd lay money the kid wasn't more than about 16. I just liked to imagine him a little older...and named Sam....with an older brother named Dean...who liked to share....... *wanders off to happy place*)

I CAN HAS TEH JEALOUSIES???

I want to see him here in Los Angeles but tickets are like 130$, and I'm about 130$ short. Haha.


....*grabby hands* hottieeeeee

Yeah, our tickets were less than $60. You need a little backwater city to go to instead!

Ooooh, Eddie! <3

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
It was rather fun, yes. *G*

Jealous! (says the girl who saw him twice a couple of months ago!)

Did he do the TIE-GRR bit? And Wikipedia on the iPhone? I never knew what the show we got was called. It was just OMG EDDIE to me. I'd assume it was the same one.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, he did all of that - two hours' worth. My only complaint was how dark it was and how far away the stage lighting was, my eyes started to defocus after about 90 minutes ...

TOTALLY cool! Lucky lucky!

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. Between this, the gayboys at the bar, and the "Supernatural" actor lookalike, can we stay "overstimulated" for her? LOLOL

Gayboys at an Eddie Izzard show? Imagine that....

See, aren't you glad you moved near Indy? I bet he doesn't do many shows in the south outside Atlanta...

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, the gayboys were at the gay bar and restaurant about a mile from the theater. And our waiter was a real sweetheart; you come visit, I'll take you there!

Yeah, he probably wouldn't have come to the South. Yay Midwest! *G*

*sigh* His eye makeup is fantastic...

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oddly, for some reason, I never answered this ... and yes, his eye makeup is almost as good as Jack's.
