When I'm around folks that load up on the perfume or colonge, I secretly hope that they will pass by an open flame and......whoooosh!

The flight to Seattle was horrific thanks to some crazy bitch behind me who decided to drench herself in really stanky perfume. By the end of the short 35-minute flight, the plane and everything in it (including me) reeked of the stuff.
By comparison, my connecting flight to Chicago was blissfully uneventful and odor-free... though I couldn't tell because I was still smelling the previous flight. Helpful hint to dumbasses who are going to board a plane: DO NOT WEAR ANY PERFUME, SCENTS, OR (GOD HELP US) AXE BODY SPRAY!!! Once they close the cabin door, your stench is going to be having everybody wanting you dead. Probably because the smell of your rotting carcass would help mask the nasty shit you're wearing.
Arriving at O'Hare was... ahem... interesting, and led to some drama I'd just as soon forget.
Which is easy to do when you are meeting one of the coolest people on earth for dinner, and then heading to see Eddie Izzard perform at The Chicago Theater!
Good times. Good times.
I wish I didn't have to get up at 7:00am tomorrow. This was a very full day.

Eddie Izzard is awesome. Very funny. And he's been in several movies where you wonder what the movie would be like without him in it.
He's also famous in a podcast: Mac OS Ken. At the end of every podcast, Ken has Izzard saying: Ciao

I'm so jealous you got to see Eddie Izzard. I missed him when he played London a few months ago because it was in the middle of a very busy week for me and he doesn't tour the UK like he used to any more.
I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD. :(

His Seattle show is sold out, I am so very sad. Did he perform with beard or makeup? So shallow of me, but I am assuming that he was smart and funny as always. I like that he is a proud cross dresser.

I had no idea who Eddie Izzard was when I saw a sign promoting his tour at the Chicago theater. Then I said to Steven, isn't that the guy from "Across the Universe," and he's in that tv show "The Riches"?
Two friends of ours went to see him too. I think I better google him and see if I can find some of his routines!
Eddie was in columbus a couple of weeks ago but the tickets were $150! I just love the name "Jeff - God of biscuits" that he refers to in one of his routines. My wife thinks I'm nuts but that is a cool superhero name.
He was funny in the film with Matt le Blanc - All the Queen's men - a naff film but funny in parts.

I seriously hate perfume. Asthmatics often do. Unfortunately, people who wear too much of it are always oblivious. I could have an attack from sitting in a meeting next to someone doused in Dolce & Gabbana (which stinks to high heaven anyway) and the person in the perfume would NEVER think it was their fault.
I am willing to place a bet that it was Clinique's Aromatics, which is just plain awful. I used to sell the stuff (against my will and better judgement) to mostly much older ladies who thought they smelled like a million bucks with it on.
It's just plain horrid.

I love Eddie Izzard. I have all his DVDs and he absolutely cracks me up. Hmm, I wonder if he's playing in Phoenix. Must go see...

I love Eddie Izzard ...
I ran a 5K last year (the first I'd run in about 20 years -- and my last, I'm sure) and about 1/2 into it we passed a family taking a walk to the park. The mother had so much of something on that it was oppressive and made me gasp. The micro-herd I was in made a few comments about it after we were out of her earshot.
Was Eddie any good? His last performance on DVD (Sexie?) was dull I thought. Hopefully he's picked up!

Eddie has a new show! How excitement! I've seen Definite Article and Glorious in the UK, Circle and Sexie in Aust... but Dressed to Kill on DVD is my favourite. Should have known you'd be an Izzard fan Dave - this just rounds off the 'How cool is Dave2 ??' :)
