I've zig-zagged all over America....
I'm so happy and sorta disappointed too.....
this morning found me frantically looking for a pre-sale password on a fansite, frantically checking my email for said pre-sale password, frantically refreshing pages......... 10 o'clock came........ the pre-sale began...... i was working two different ticketmaster screens, refreshing, looking for better and better seats.....
what's going on?
is morrissey coming to town?
nope...... it's the next best thing.....
or dare I say, it's even better (gasp)?? well, ok, it's only more exciting because I've never seen this person live and I haven't had the chance to..... since i've been a fan these last few years, he hasn't played anywhere accessible. Eddie Izzard is coming to town!! and I've got tickets!!
but here's the disappointing part that kinda making me sick right now...... you see, the tickets I got are row B.... sounds great right?
surely, row B is better than the other seats I was looking at - row M, row J, row H, row D...... when B popped up, I tried again on another browser and I got D so I thought - stick with B! buy them now!
It wasn't until later that I realized row B is actually after rows AA-PP...... god damnit!
But it'll be fun anyway..... I'm going with people this time...... not just by my lonesome.....
But then....... it dawned on me...... in an act born from years of being a Morrissey fan, years of impulse ticket buying, I waited two hours for the pre-sale to start in another timezone..... I tried again...... FIRST ROW!!!! I clicked purchase and zoomed through the next few screens before I had time to think.
I am now the proud owner of a first row ticket in San Francisco!!!! just the one lone ticket this time, but I don't care!!
YEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! First row!!!!
my sister in law lives in San Francisco...... I had meant to go visit her when Morrissey swung through there earlier this year but the show wasn't general admission so I thought I'd pass...... but now....... now I'm going to see Eddie Izzard and I'll be in the FIRST ROW!!!!
I'm so excited right now, I can't even believe it...... seriously.......
I don't even want to think about my poor aching credit card right now....... I'm going to need a plane ticket too.... but who cares!!
whew......
all this excitement and I didn't even know about these gigs until yesterday and now I've got not one, but 2 Eddie Shows.....
Fan-tabulous!!
now I've just gotta wait until May and July :(

I have never seen any live comedy (not if you discount the kid's antics in my sitting room that is!)...but recently I have become very curious and hope to make up for lost time soon!
The children gave me a DVD of Russell Brand's stand-up show for Mothers Day...haven't watched it yet...saving it till my ribs need a tickle!
So here's to laughing...and to your date with Mr Izzard!
