3. Thanks!
It's been 100 years since I've been to ANY kind of show and I'm really excited to have a night out! The ticket was only $25!

I don't have IFC, but I've got a couple of seasons on DVD, along with a few of his shows. He was great during the previous administration, so I'm eager to hear his take on the state of the world these days.

4. Thank you!
You'll probably be getting a report when I get home tonight! The theatre website says amateur cameras are permitted at most shows, so I'm thinking of bringing mine and getting some pics to post. From what I understand, he's very accessible to his fans, so I might hang around a little while at "the back door"!

5. Rollins is one of the men of my dreams.
You don't need to mention that to him, though. ;)

7. Sheesh. I'm ONLY 46.
I'd be willing to die tryin'. (But don't mention this to Leonard Cohen, one of the other men of my dreams. I'm ladylike enough that I don't wanna stir any jealousy.) :rofl:

8. Don't worry
Your secret's safe with me! I'm going to be 43 at the end of the month, so this is my birthday present to myself.

I'm really looking forward to an evening of INTELLIGENT "spewage", with some humor and gross stuff thrown in for good measure.

12. I certainly don't feel like a spring chicken
but thanks! One of the girls in my class, who's 22, was spouting off last night about 27 being old! I wanted to smack her in the back of the head! At one point, she asked me what the teacher had said and I replied that I'm over 27, so my hearing is shot. Snotty kid!

10. Thanks! I'm planning on it
Last time he was in NJ, he was in Atlantic City. That's an easy 3 hour ride from where I am, which is on the Orange County, NY border. I had e-mailed him asking if he had any other NJ dates further north on his schedule and he actually replied! At that time, he said he probably wouldn't be doing anything here until 2010, so it was a nice surprise when I got the updated tour schedule message. From what I can tell on the seating chart, it looks like I've got a great seat. Should be a good time! I hope he's going to be extra angry! LOL

15. Thanks and I promise to give a full report tonight
If it makes you feel any better, the weather sucks...chilly and raining. Hope it clears a little by tonight. I'm not familiar with that area and the old eyes just ain't what they used to be!

18. Excellent!
I'm hoping he's going to mix his political observations with some stories of his recent travels. I'll even let him get away with taking a cheap shot at NJ! The story of his Siberian train ride grosses me out and cracks me up at the same time.

20. It's a fun evening.
Seen his SW 3 times, Rollins Band 4.

I hope I look that lean when I'm 48.
