So, here’s the wrapup: Kevin had a first that night, of taking just a single question, which was “What was it like directing Bruce Willis?”, and working it into a full 3.5 hours of extended new stories…Some told at previous live gigs, some brand new. At the end of that, Kevin rolled out a fantastic 3D birthday cake, made into the likeness of his famous self-photo taken on Southwest Airlines, then left the stage.

Immedately after, Kevin was BACK on stage for an encore, which took form of a more rapid-fire Q&A with audience members…Almost like an entire second show, which ran another couple of hours. If any of you have photos or highlights to add from the Q&A segment, be sure to drop us a line.

Above, you’ll find a photo of that awesome cake from Kevin himself, as well as some photos courtesy of EpixHD, who will be airing what we presume will be an edited version of the event, featuring mainly the 3.5 hour “stand up” portion and then perhaps some highlghts of the Q&A. Details to follow on that.

As the photos show, a highlight of the show was the amazing custom built set. Now, the Basie is giving fans a chance to own a piece of it! To bid, surf here for all the details. Items include the main store signs, window decals, poster, and more. Details on how to bid are included on the page, but it basically is being done silent auction style via e-mail, except with high bids to be revealed a few times each day at this link. The auction will run through Friday, August 13th, at noon. This is a historic show and a beautiful set, and best of all, 100% of the proceeds will benefit the fantastic Count Basie’s restoration fund. Good luck!
