I just got an email from my friend in New York--
You'll never believe it!
EDDIE F*CKING IZZARD MENTIONED ME IN NEW YORK!
Here's the email:
hey! i was at the nyc signing....and guess what? someone asked eddie something related to his being a TV....so he answered and then mentioned that he met a female transvestite in (and then he pondered) "hmmmm....chicago!" he said....then he said "she is a female tranvestite and she likes blokes...." i knew he was talking about you abs! i couldn't wait to get back to tell you! if you're online now, please let me know you got this email!
And a follow- up:
let me see....what was the question they asked him....it had to do with being a transvestite and doing his standup....how he works it into his standup...and i can't remember how he wound up mentioning the part about the female transvestite, but said "i met this female transvestite...innnn...." and then he looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember "....chicago!" "she's a female transvestite....and she likes blokes.."
OH MY GOD!!!
I'm freaking out!!
Maybe I'll get a mention on Conan tonight. It's always possible!
