Simply Simplicity

Hello Eddie Izzard fans!  This year starts the beginning of big changes.  Our oldest daughter graduates highschool and we are just 3 years away from the youngest graduating… so we are planning what’s next.  Empty nesting and all that.  My goal is to really downsize and simplify and to that end I am going to spend the next year giving away my vast collection of Eddie Izzard memorabilia.  The majority of the collection is video tapes.  I’ll try, where possible, to give a description of the content and quality.  I haven’t viewed these videos in years so the accuracy may be sketchy at best.

So, you may ask, how will this work.  Very simply.  Be the first to comment with your e-mail address that you want an item and I’ll get back to you to get your mailing details.  Every item will be FREE,  but I will need you to pay shipping/postage.  I am going to try and post one item per day, time permitting.

So, let’s have a little fun!

Let’s give another item away, shall we? I think I’ll give away one of my Circle videos. This on is in PAL format, not playable on regular US vcr’s.

This can be yours, FREE, plus shipping!

Have fun and good luck!

Ok, so I’ve been trying to figure out how to best get rid of all my video tapes… there are about 100 at last count, many are duplicates, a lot only have a short clip, some are whole shows…. ages ago when I first found out about Eddie I collected every clip of him there ever might be..then I made compilations for everyone.  I can’t even remember what’s on most of them… many of them are available as dvd’s here, including 40, Joe Egg & Mongrel Nation.: which I make copies of for $5. each.

But that’s not the giveaway tonight…

Tonight I’ll try and give away another Eye magazine… I’ve got quite a few, so they’ll show up from time to time.

So, yes.. another Eye magazine from Toronto free plus postage!

Good luck.

Hope March is treating you all well… so far so good here…

So, tonights item is: Live at the Ambassadors vhs video.  This is playable on US vcr’s.

This item can be yours FREE, plus shipping, just be the first one to post!

Good luck, have fun!

I’m mailing out the balance of the giveaways today, that I have addresses for, I’ll be sending you all the total amount of your postage with payment information.  I’ve decided on doing this on an honor system because I just don’t have the time to go back and forth to the post office getting postage estimates and then going back again to mail.

Will post another tonight or tomorrow morning, time permitting.

Headed to the mall today to get a haircut, well all my hair cut… am going to tell the stylist to just ‘do what you will’.  I’m fed up with my ‘mom’ hair and need a change.  This usually freaks them out, so we’ll see what I come out with!

because I thought everyone dressed up for Broadway… boy was I wrong.  It was my first Broadway play ever, and I wanted to look especially nice so I bought a lovely black velvet dress, floor length of course. Backless and very swanky.  Found lovely black strappy sandals with a zipper up the back, a ZIPPER encrusted with rhinestones. We all got dolled up and headed out to the theater. Everyone was in jeans… I think some folks were in shorts… eating in the theater! Eating Twizzlers if I remember correctly.  Harrumph!

I got to see the play twice during that trip, once from the balcony and once from the second row.

I got to meet Eddie that night, tho, and it was spectacular.

So, your item this evening is… a video copy of A Day In The Death of Joe Egg.  This is a vhs, playable on US vcr’s.

This item can be yours, FREE (plus postage)…

Eddie did a quirky little movie, which I rather enjoyed by the by… called Circus.

What I have for you folks tonight is a small poster from Circus, it’s approx 11×17 and can be yours for the low, low price of FREE (plus shipping)… be the first to comment.

As an aside, if anyone needs a dvd copy of Circus we have a few of them at work in the $4.99 bin… just say the word and I’ll pick up one for you (that one won’t be free by the way)…

Have fun!

Before I post any more giveaways I want to actually give away the stuff claimed.  Would the following peeps please send me an e-mail with your mailing information so I can get this to you, thanks! e-mail: tericoon@gmail.com or teri@jivetalkinmama.com

I thought I’d talk about a few of the things I’m not giving up, yet…

First up is a lovely poster from Dress to Kill.

It’s an advertising piece from the San Francisco show. It measures approx 5 feet tall and the picture is from the D2K video/dvd. Right now it’s kinda hiding behind a door in our bedroom ‘cuz I don’t have a place to hang it right now.  It’s getting a little tattered around the edges, and the cats took out some revenge on it and tore a nice slice from the top…but I still love it!

Back a few years ago a nice collection of Eddie videos in PAL format was released in a suitcase, with a t-shirt. The videos are Live at the Ambassadors, Glorious, Definite Article and I think Unrepeatable (it’s in the living room and I’m in the bedroom on my new laptop…sweet!)

Anyway, those are just 2 items I’m not ready to part with… and now on to tonights giveaway:

A PAL video taped from UK television when Eddie took over Channel 4 television. This is PAL, and won’t play on normal US video players… it contains such gems as Panic Shopping and Skip Watch!

Remember this item could be yours FREE, plus shipping, just be the first to post. Good Luck

Ok, been away…very busy but here’s another giveaway for ya!

I’ve already given one of these away but there are plenty more:

Eye weekly newspaper from Toronto, in the time of Sexie.

This can be yours FREE, plus shipping.

an update on mailing we will be doing this on the honor system.  I believe in Eddie fans so since my time has been limited I won’t be able to do two post office runs so I’m just going to mail off your goodies and post you with the postage total and how you can re-pay that.

If I don’t have your snail mail address for what you’ve won please contact me here: tericoon@gmail.com by Monday so I can nip down to the post office next week (I think the post office is closed Monday) and mail off your goodies so I can start to see my dining room table.

PS… I’ll try and get back here tonight to chat about what I’m not ready to part with… hope you all will join me with your prized possessions!

Ok,  thanks for being patient! That virus we got on the computer did a number on it.  We ended up wiping the whole thing which means we lost everything!

I’ll re-cap what I’ve given away and to whom, what I would like the winners to do for me is to e-mail me here: tericoon@gmail.com with your mailing address.

I have a few days off this coming week I’ll get postage rates and get back to you all.  Right now the stuff is piling up and my goal was to get it out…

Philine:  Eddie Calendar, Cat’s Meow poster, Buttons, Eye magazine, 2 pages magnets, Times Talks cassette, and Next magazine (did I miss anything?)

ReBecky: Girl Talk (~swoon~)

JoAnne: Revengers Tragedy video

Jennifer: 8×10 Sexie glossy

Chloe: Filth video

Claywoman: Have I Got News for You video

…and for tonights giveaway (looking over the pile…)

He’s often said he doesn’t have penis envy…he’s got breast envy so how fitting for him to do an interview in the Fall of  ‘04 with BUST magazine! No scans, it’s the lovely promo pics he did for Sexie …

You know the drill… first one to post it’s yours, FREE(plus postage)

…and GO!
