I have great taste in Sharpie Pens, apparently. Take, for example, my encounter with David Sedaris. David liked my pen, so I gave it to him. He even drew me a picture of it:

So Saturday night I finally got to go see Eddie! It was a fanastic show, and I got to see it with my good GF, Robin. We had a glass of wine (okay, three) before the show, then enjoyed about 2 hours and 20 minutes of EDDIE. I was over the moon. We then waited outside the theater for the chance to talk to him and were not disappointed. I was surprised he could even talk, as he had done such a thorough job of entertaining me - er, everyone. When he came out, he was the most gracious and generous person I might have ever encountered. There were something like 300 people waiting to see him (including one obnoxious woman who was old enough to know better and kept screeching at him that it was her birthday. Sure lady, and I had a baby this morning, it's my birthday today, and I only have 3 days to live). Eddie was so kind and he said he would get to everyone.

As per usual, I had a specific Sharpie marker with me that would show up on the liner notes I had brought for him to sign. I am always prepared for that sort of thing. Anyway, my exchange with my new boyfriend - er, Eddie went something like this:

As Eddie started to look for a place to sign my DVD liner with his black pen...

nrL: Please. Use this pen. It will show up (and I tried to accidentally make out with him as I passed him the pen).

EI: Is it silver?

nrL: Why, yes it is!

Eddie signs my liner notes while making crazy love-struck eyes at me. Ooops! That was the replay of the event I had when I went to bed that night... sorry. Eddie signs my liner notes and makes a pleasant noise and says:

EI: Oh! That is a nice pen.

nrL: Would you like to have it?

EI: Yes, actually I would.

nrL: Please take it then. Thank you. (and in my mind I said, I love you and I want to adopt your baby)

So, Eddie, I'm not sure how to get this post added to your beloved Wiki, but if you read this I really mean it.
