We had a lot of fun tonight.

Morton’s was quite awesome (if not expensive – I’m trying to remember and I think this is the most we’ve ever spent on one meal) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at dinner. We were one of the first in for the evening with 5:30 reservations and got an awesome booth-style table that let us watch the room fill as the evening progressed. Definitely glad I got to experience the place. I did the Porterhouse and I do believe that’s the most red meat I’ve ever stuffed into myself at one sitting… no idea how big it was exactly, but I’m still feeling it. Jamie had the Prime Rib – the waiter did mention that it was 26-28 oz…so that should put the sheer size of their steaks into perspective. She didn’t even come close to finishing it.

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of Carew Tower, which is an interesting building in it’s own right.

From there we walked the 3 or 4 blocks to Taft Theatre.

It was our first time in downtown Cincy and it was surprisingly nice. I think we just dig city-type stuff.

The theatre was an awesome old building and our seats were better than I imagined. The place a was sold out and they’d added ‘orchestra pit’ seating to try to fit more people in. I still insist that Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest people around and the show didn’t disappoint one bit. Jamie wasn’t too familiar with his stuff, but I found her laughing quite a bit. The crowd reaction was ridiculous – the volume of cheering didn’t seem possible from a 2500 seat house. Definitely see the tour if it comes to your town.

Izzard speaking about this tour:

“The heels got too high on the last two tours. Now I’ve just gone back to blokey mode, so I’ve got all this movement back which I couldn’t do before. The set is leaner, what I’m wearing is leaner and just focusing on what I’m talking about. I keep talking about God and I come to all these different conclusions. I’m talking about the whole civilization, trying strip that back, as well. The last 5,000 years we did everything. I put out my idea what we’re doing here. I think it’s all random. If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan.”
