We got to see Eddie Izzard

When seeing the Kids in the Hall, a lady we met informed us that Eddie Izzard was coming in June to the Paramount Theater. I’ve always liked what I’ve seen from Eddie Izzard. Jessi was unfamiliar with his stand-up, but very interested in going. Since all the performances were already sold out, we were advised to become “members” of the theater and request tickets. So, we donated a bit more than the minimum required and called the director of member services a few days later. Member Services had a pair of floor seats for the Saturday night show and we took them. It was a great show! Eddie Izzard is a joy to watch work. It makes me wonder why there are so few Americans with his wit and talent.

Becoming a member of the Paramount Theater means that Eddie Izzard was an expensive ticket, but we got a few extra benefits. We have received several film passes to the summer Film Series. I can’t wait to see several of my favorite Hitchcock films on the big screen (Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window)! We also get first dibs on buying tickets for the upcoming performances in the 2008-2009 season. As a result we will be seeing this coming year:

Carol Burnett - Live and informal interacting with the audience
Lily Tomlin - one-woman show
Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain
David Sedaris

Austin kicks ass.
