Last night Kevin and I traveled down to MSG to attend Eddie Izzard's Intimacy Tour. Of course, watching Eddie with 20,000 other people was extremely intimate. We've seen Eddie 3 times since 2008. Each time in progressively bigger arenas. In early 2008, we saw Eddie in a tiny venue downtown that was truly intimate. There were probably only 50-75 people in the theater (if you can even call it a theater). Kevin and I were in the front row!! Then later in the summer of 2008, we saw him in his Stripped tour at Radio City Music Hall. Some of the material from the earlier show ended up in the summer show. Then last night, some of the jokes and stories from Stripped were elaborated and expanded, but there was quite a bit of new stuff too.

One of my favorite jokes (aside from the Spartan Ninja sheep who are so tough that they shear themselves in front of wolves) was that he was confused by all the EZ-Pass signs. He remarked that he couldn't figure out why there were so many signs for something called "E-Zed-Pass." Hahaha!

As you can sort of tell from the pic, we were up in the nosebleeds (almost the exact same seats we had for Tom Petty last summer). I always find it so hard in those situations to not watch the big screens. At one point during the performance, Eddie stopped and said that it was ok that everyone was staring at the screens and not him. He promised that it was really him on the screen and did a little dance.

It was an excellent highlight for the weekend! Now I've got one more week until school starts up again.....
