bookmark_borderTonight, tonight

No, not West Side Story, nor Genesis or even the Smashing Pumpkins (mainly because they haven’t reformed.. duh) but Eddie Izzard on his SEXiE Tour.

Sold out for weeks it was, but thankfully I have a very very very good friend (he’s such a great guy, I really can’t say enough about him…) who works ‘in the business’, who knows a man, who knows a man, etc etc and so forth, that can get me tickets. Yay!

Louise misses out as she’s out for the night, but I’m sure Stuart and I will cope.

Ohh and Keith, mate, THANKS!

Now, can I take my camera? Is that allowed (both legally and ethically/etiquettely)?

I’ll report back later. izb is going tonight as well, and I’m not visiting Alex as he went last night and don’t want to read anything about it – see my Willpower post yesterday (no, there’s no link, just scroll down you lazy bastards!)

Or why “I like to be in America”

Reason #14: NBA.

I’ve mentioned this before I’m sure, but I REALLY miss my NBA since it moved to Sky Sports Extra here in the UK. As a Telewest customer I can’t get the channel at all. The time I spent in San Francisco was great, I actually had the choice of which game to watch, unbelievable!

Anyway, things are getting tense in the Conference Finals, my ‘showtime’ team are being held the Kings in what looks like being a tight series. Granted I can get a lot of info from the web, but as the NBA is very rarely covered here in the UK I miss all the little extra’s you get from news bulletins, et al.

In saying that, I’m confident the Lakers will brush past the Kings and into the final, I mean if the Kings coach can be heard to say “I just wish one of them would grow four inches” in connection to his two active guards they are obviously the weaker team. Now if someone could just knobble Chris Webber I’d be much happier…

Note: I’m actually very happy with Telewest, especially the nice people at BlueYonder, but PLEASE GET SKYSPORTS EXTRA!!!
