In his own words:

#87. 03-28-06 Dublin Ireland: A little past midnight. I am so tired I am cross eyed. That might have been the best Dublin audience I've ever had. They were so well behaved! No drunks talking all night. People are usually really great but sometimes you get the Guinness enthusiast and it all goes south as they feel the need to talk to you all night from their seat. So now I have a few hours to sleep and then stagger onto another airplane to NYC for press and other stuff. It was a good tour and I am looking forward to getting onto other stuff. It went by fast and the audiences were great. I think I did good shows and I hope everyone is happy with the way it all went.

To which I'll add: the show was brilliant. Henry did two hours straight, and I didn't dare go to the bar for fear of missing something (sorry, Pat, I'll buy you a beer or 27 this weekend). For the political stuff, he's essentially preaching to the choir, of course; even the one guy I drink with who thought "Bush was right" is now looking back and saying that he (the guy, not Bush) was mistaken, so it's not a hard sell to tell an Irish crowd that the current representatives are teh sux0r. The stuff about doing a USO gig for disabled Iraq II veterans was, well, touching. If he hadn't been lightening it with gallows humour, I'd probably have been in tears, because even with the humour it was hard to listen to. You could've heard a pin drop while he told it, too. Huge respect from the crowd. Most of the show was a laugh riot, though, and pretty much everything I expected from the man. Go see!

oh, and for the hell of it

Who the hell are you, and why are you reading my journal? Comment as you see fit. I'm going to bed.
