I nearly peed my pants...

Last night was fantastic...we had tickets to go and see Ricky Gervais at the Madison Square Garden Theater. So, against our usual habit, we arrive an hour early, have a couple of cocktails, walk around the stands that are about (picked up a couple of free magazines etc) and go and sit down. We have brilliant tickets - right of stage about 8 rows from the front - and as we're sitting there (remember, we're very early) I look over and see a guy in his 60s, white shaggy hair, pointy goatee......well, whaddayaknow it was BILLY CONNOLLY! Aaaaaggghhhh! I was sooooo excited. He's my favourite comedian, so I then spent the next hour trying to figure out how to get the seats next to him. The worst of it? The people who sat next to him didn't even know who he was.

So, that set me up for a great night. It's 8pm, the lights go out....and here comes the next surprise. DAVID BOWIE walks on the stage - all dressed up in a tux looking absolutely gorgeous. At that point Trev and I are both going crazy - he comes on, starts singing and then brings on Ricky Gervais.

I tell ya - Billy Connolly, David Bowie and Ricky Gervais all in the same evening....it was too much for me to bear. The best bit? As we left Trev and I got to shake Billy's hand and tell him how fabulous we thought he was.

Oh yeah...Ricky Gervais? Pretty funny in places, we had a good laugh - but quite frankly Billy and David trumped him. The worst bit? For the first time ever i didn't bring a camera to take pictures of all this. Oh well....

I have not felt that excited in years. Bloody brilliant.
