It was amazing, He tried to find the youngest person in the audience to sit next to an older guy who looked like Santa. She's someone to keep an eye out for in the comedy scene in the future. I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering how it would work with such a young girl interacting with him on stage, but she carried it off with such confidence.<br />I arrived feeling pretty down about the world, and left feeling life wasn't so bad after all. It's all so wholesome and feel good - found it hard to hear as I was laughing so much, tears streaming down my face - needed more tissues than I had in my bag to mop up. <br />In the show I was at, he took a photo of the audience waving to someone in ... hmm, Canada maybe, anyhow, perhaps you could look at the photo and think of us all waving to you up there in Norway? I hope to get over to Fed Square on Sunday to join in the fun. <br />So pleased he mentioned your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-22005832592246132552010-04-09T13:58:50.124+02:002010-04-09T13:58:50.124+02:00Ida - jeg har etter hvert skjønt at det er Aussie ...Ida - jeg har etter hvert skjønt at det er Aussie som gjelder...

Bare fordi jeg har ikke helt skjønt om det var en blogg eller hva det var (ikke noe teknisk vidunder jeg nei..) og fordi jeg har følt at jeg ikke helt har tid. Jeg har mer enn nok med fb, egentlig litt for mye. Men - Gud! Du og Ylva MÅ jo bare komme dere ned hit da!!!! Especially siden du er så Australian savvy, og btw, det er nok helst 'aussie savvy'. Australiere har en tendens til å forkorte/ omgjøre kjente substantiv til 2-stavelsesord - man bør jo ikke gjøre det for vanskelig ;) <br /><br />Og, haha, jeg ante ikke at du (og Ylva) var SÅ inne i Mr. Hills, haha. Æsj, nå syntes jeg jo i hvert fall at jeg burde gå , kjipt at billettene var utsolgt. Men, jeg skal gjøre mitt beste for å gå på lørdagen, kanskje jeg får dratt med meg Lloyd også :) Vet du når det er - den 17 eller 24? <br /><br />Jeg må si jeg er ganske stolt at jeg har ei venninne som er linket til AV Adam Hills!! haha<br />Og at det er noe crazy/ latterlig hvordan det nå er totalt ukjente personer fra ulike verdensdeler som syntes jeg burde gå å se på et komi-show, hahaha....<br /><br />Du og Ylva = too funny! Jeg har også vurdert det til at dere må også være mestere i å prokrastinering og digressjoner. Lol. <br /><br />Og, jeg synes dere har masse gode grunner til å besøke australia nå!!! <br /><br />Wish you were here.<br /><br />Hilsen Ida i kengu-land.Idanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-62122470158806154862010-04-08T22:44:56.125+02:002010-04-08T22:44:56.125+02:00Ylva, you should definitely join!

This just means I'll have to petition for him to go on tour for whenever I get to go down under too. Or, he could come to Norway! And I'll make sure to pass the message on to Ida!<br /><br />Caz - I know! I was so stunned, especially since I made no attempt to notify him about this post. But then I realized Ylva did... (I love the Internet!) And I'd LOVE some pictures from the Fed Square event (wohoo - I just called it Fed Square. Does that mean I gained another point on the Aussie savvy scale?)<br /><br />Julia - thank you! I love the fact that this little post brought a fresh batch of Adam Hills fans over here (not that the old one wasn't good, but you know - always nice to meet new people!).
