osarabaSo. Tuesday night we went over to the Borders on 57th & Lex to see Eddie Izzard, hysterical British comedian. After standing on line for the Queer as Folk signing last year for several hours (I think it was just about 5 hours?), we arrived 2 hours early, despite having not eaten. We stood in the piping hot basement floor of the place, chatting and waiting for the man to arrive -- scheduled for 6:30.
That was the hard part.
When he arrived -- on time -- he did about 15 mintues of a half Q&A session, half stand-up improv. Which was great. He had his beard, but for some reason -- I thought -- looked much better than he had on the Craig Kilborn show.
So by 7:00, we were already into the "signing" part of his appearance. We were toward the front, but even so we had to wait about half-an-hour to get up to see him. They had staff on the side, taking pictures if you provided the camera. I gave over my camera, so I got a few shots... however, I wanted to take a posed photo with Izzard, but completely forgot. =( Ah well. It was fun to meet him, in any case.
Good shot of Izzard!
Izzard & us.
Izzard & us, again.
After the signing, we left to eat at the mall, where we ended up staying to talk for quite a while. And when we got home, Liz went to do some homework or something (this is at 10:30pm already), and I decided to take a look at the DVD I'd just bought. It's the DVD of the show that's been running on HBO a lot lately, but it had some extras, like Izzard's performance in France, and some other things. I think it was worth it. I'm completely looking forward to his next tour. I know he'll be passing through NYC next year, I wonder if I'll be able to see him then. ::must remember!::

Randy Harrison was wearing glasses and he actually looked so much older, and Hal Sparks was just sooo adorable -- he does great facial expressions. And Gale Harold was -- if you can believe it -- even more sexy in person!
I know I did an LJ entry on it.... it's somewhere in my archives. Unfortunately, I didn't have a digital camera at the time, so I didn't get easily uploadable pics. =(
