Below is a
followup to the Open Letter posted here
back in the Fall of 1999 (oh, sooo long ago)...
An Open Thank You Note to Eddie Izzard
Hello, Eddie. My name is Sukie and I'm the one who wrote the Open Letter back in November
— the gist of which was, we eager Americans would be thrilled at the opportunity to
see your live show, even if it were "The Same Old Shit Tour." I'm delighted to
tell you that I received tons of e-mails echoing my sentiments.
Now it's time for an Open Thank You Note. You've announced that you are coming back to
North America with the Circle tour — and we are elated! PC's and IMac's are humming
all over the continent as Ticketmaster's website is inundated, and affordable airfares are
investigated. People from Michigan are flying to Massachusetts, Georgians are descending
on Manhattan and
Californians are suddenly contemplating visits to long-lost relatives in Philadelphia.
Shows are selling out everywhere. It's difficult for me to describe just how excited these
fans are. Fingers are crossed all over the country that you will add dates in cities such
as Miami, Atlanta and New Orleans — where you have standing "stand-up"
invitations.
Cake or Death Webmaster Lyn Nierva will be at
the Westbeth on April 7th — along with 299 other ecstatic people. As a "left
coaster," I'm planning on L.A. Thank you, from all of us at all the shows. I just
have one question: How in the world are we going to wait two or three whole months?
Thanks for everything, Eddie!
