Eddie Izzard and me

Back in July of 2008, Jules and I went to see British comedian Eddie Izzard perform at the Schnitzer Auditorium in Portland. Izzard was funny as hell, we laughed our asses off, and afterward Izzard treated the audience to an impromptu Q&A outside the theater. Jules had told me she would love to invite Izzard to our house for dinner, so near the end of the Q&A I shouted, "My wife wants to have you over for dinner."

To which Izzard replied, "Well, that would be nice, thank you very much, but we're off to San Francisco!"

Someone actually caught the exchange on video and posted it on YouTube:
