Day 54 {The Mighty Boosh}

Saying goodbye to something I thought I'd never meet...

It saddens me so much that today is the last Mighty Boosh post for a while. The show doesn't air until January (I know it was pushed back) and I don't think we'd start filming another series (if I'm asked back on the show) until June so....not another Boosh post for a while.

HOWEVER

Noel is 100% buying an apartment in NYC and is going to live here for...a bit. He's buying the apartment/condo soon, but I don't think he'd move in till February. Not positive when he's going to be here but I know he is moving here. I'm so excited to have Noel here, that's one of the main reasons why I am really upset about the show ending. Noel has had such a big impact on my life that I couldn't bear to not be friends with him. Julian is fantastic but he has a whole family in Britain and I don't see him moving to the US for any reason other than work. I was talking to Lorne and he said after the new series of the Boosh premiers Noel could probably host an episode. Now that is mighty.

The last filming of the series was perhaps the saddest day ever. Perhaps. Filming went fine and dandy but there was an air around that was just...depressing. I left NYC Friday at 8PM and got to Heathrow at 8AM (like always) and we immediately started filming. We were all in this last scene and it was full of effects and was very long. It's the last scene of the episode as well and it involves Noel and I giving each other a kiss. Not a snogging, but a simple kiss. I dunno when we did the scene it felt like a kiss goodbye and I got really sad after that. I am accepting Graham Linehan's offer to work on The IT Crowd. I don't think I can stay away from BBC networking and the TV actors in Britain are so closely knit that so many things could branch from next TV series. Noel was on the show and he might come back, I met Chris O'Dowd during a Bridesmaids after party with Kristen and Maya, I've worked and hung out with Richard Ayoade during the Boosh, and I just met Matt Berry the other day. I like this SNL/BBC Series deal. I know it's crazy hectic and ridiculous but...I can't just leave Britain. I love it here. I've lived in NYC my whole life so I'm not going to leave that either. I really like what Graham Linehan has done with The IT Crowd and to be honest, I don't want to stop seeing Rich, Julian, Noel, and Mike.

Lots of pictures for the post of our little end-of-series-cast-party







Mighty Boosh you have changed my life, and it saddens me so much to be away from you for so long.

Love you, mean it.
