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!

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!

sorry for the interruption in the Eddie giveaway, we had our computer invaded by a nasty, and I mean nasty virus. So I’ve been trying to rid us of it without spending money we really don’t have

Hopefully we can be back up and running by the weekend… how I miss my mac laptop I was forced to sell last year, stupid rent…

Anyhow, that’s it for now… hope everyone has been enjoying this so far!

…unbroadcastable, that is! For your viewing pleasure today’s item is an NTSC(yes that can be viewed in the US) video copy of Have I Got (unbroadcastable) News For You. I bought the original in PAL format(as the video cover states) and had it professionally transferred.

The entire series is loads of fun, and there are some great Eddie moments as well!

So, ladies and jellyspoons… this can be yours FREE(plus postage).

That’s just what we have. November 2002 issue of Next magazine:

A lovely little magazine subtitled: “The Hippest Gay Guide to New York”…

and in November they featured a little article and pic of our lovely little man of many faces…

I personally love this whole series of photos, from the this lovely blue/purple to the snake skin skirt… meow!

Bonus…in this issue is an interview with Todd Haynes of Velvet Goldmine fame.

So, who ever is the first to post it’s yours FREE(plus shipping)…
Have fun!

ps…I think I’ll make a few non-giveaway posts here and there… maybe showcasing some items I won’t part with. If you want to share what your prized Eddie possessions are this could be fun!

So, today I took off work to get some much needed de-cluttering and vacuuming done (what do those cat’s do to get litter all over the place?? I looked for tell tale signs of digging tunnels but found none).

Anyway back in 2004-ish Eddies company produced a lovely wall calendar featuring 12 months of Miss Eddie… beautiful pics even tho the dates are now past. ~sigh~ Very hard to choose which pic I love the most.

Sadly I don’t have a pic of it to post, it’s too large to put through the scanner….but trust me, it’s lovely!

…and it can be yours free(plus shipping) for the first person to post!

Enjoy!

Here’s another give-away…
Being the Eddie ‘geek’ , (is that correct?) I am when The Cat’s Meow came out in theaters we knew it wasn’t going to be released in a ‘cinema nearest us’ but we do have the good fortune of living rather close to NYC which would, I suppose, constitute a ‘cinema near us’. So we drove the 5 hours south east to the Big Apple to see The Cat’s Meow… crazy, maybe… but it was great fun. Those of you who have gone far and wide to meet up with other Eddie fans will know…it’s a thrill.

Anywho… for you tonight I’ve got a movie poster from Cat’s Meow. It’s still rolled in the tube it arrived in when I bought it. It’s a double sided poster, meaning the back side is backwards so when it’s put in those light boxes at the theater when the light shines through you get a nice clean image.

Remember, this is FREE(plus shipping) to the first poster.

Good luck, have fun!

Remember that game from childhood? Well what I’ve got for you tonight is a set of 4 buttons.

Yours free(plus shipping!).

and as a ps,
While we are having fun with the give aways I want to take a moment to send out my thoughts to all the people of Haiti. Visit the CoD site (link in the side bar) Lyn has set up a link to donate to the Red Cross on behalf of Haiti.

The theater was pretty small, and old… (was it actually 2003?? Sound so long ago but it feels like yesterday) We had excellent seats. Eddie was sick that night, but he put on a great show!

On the streets they had a free magazine called: eye weekly, which is sort of a ‘what’s going on around town’ type thing…

anyway, for you tonight, free (plus shipping) is a copy of eye weekly…(I have several copies which I’ll be sprinkling throughout the year so if you miss it this time, maybe next time!)

was at a meeting last night and got in late so here’s yesterday’s item up for grabs…

How about…::looking over the pile of stuff::…

an 8X10 glossy pic of Eddie in Sexie… or should it be Eddie in all of his Sexieness…

Yours free(plus shipping)

Have fun!
I’ll post another tonight for good measure….
