Revolution Tour Letters
(New Orleans –- Washington D.C.)

New Orleans, LA 

Hey Margaret,
You are an inspiration to me, and I know how trite this must sound to you but it is true. You are an amazing person and you finally made me realize that I should always be myself and that I have nothing to be afraid of. You gave me hope for people in this world and I hope one day there will be a revolution. You are one of the greatest comedians of all time and you are constantly inspiring people and I don't believe you will stop doing that anytime soon. I love you so much and thank you again because you made one of my dreams come true. I wish you great luck in the future and I am sure I will go see your show again.
Your fan,
Brett

Hi Margaret-

We met after your show in New Orleans and I just want to say that you looked absolutely amazing! You came out here at the perfect time in my life and seeing you was a true gift as I just moved here to go to school, so I have been missing home, and you made me feel so much better afterwards. You probably remember me, we took pictures and then you talked to my friend Kate on my cell phone and she screamed in your ear (sorry bout that!).

Anyway, the show was absolutely amazing, your best work yet. You had me in tears most of the show, both because you were so incredibly funny, and so amazingly inspiring. As an eighteen year old gay male, I just thought that your bit about wanting a gay kid made me feel so good (and I'm sure my mom would agree with your opinions!) Are you going to video this show or have a cd or (hopefully) both?!?!

Thank you Margaret for being who you are and leading your "revolution" you truly are an inspiration to all people, young or old, fat or skinny, gay or straight, male or female. Keep of the wonderful work.

Love,

Billy

Hi Margaret,
YOU ROCK! Saw you in New Orleans this past weekend and you made me laugh like I haven't laughed in years!! I'm also a comic and you're the BEST comic in the US. You're absolutely fantabulous!
Just wanted to tell you that!
Grace :-)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Margaret,
I recently joined the thousands of gay men who journeyed to Southern Decadance. My partner and myself made the journey from Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was our second trip there together. We attended Revolution while there. I have seen all of your tours, but this one was special. Something has happened to you, and it reflects outwardly. Your comedy was never sharper. My side hurt from laughing. And I left with a sense that if we did all unite, we could make a huge difference. I sincerely hope you keep sharing your gift with us. I will be there, cheering you on. With much Love, Will

OMG!

From the time Margaret walked out to the time she left the stage and even after that, I was still laughing! The next day my stomach was hurting I laughed so much! I've seen all the shows and this one most definitely takes the cake.

Once again Cho was able to not only keep everyone in stitches the entire time she was on stage, she was also able to get some very important messages out to all who attended. Gay, Lesbian or Str8 you can't help but have the BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE at this concert!

Thank you Cho for your concert and bringing it to Orlando. You are absolutely the best and I thank you SO MUCH for all that you do!

PS...You looked fab-u!

Lance C

------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really a question, just wanted to say thanks, your show in Orlando has made my year! You are truly a revolution in yourself!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Ms. Cho,
Thank you thank you thank you. For coming to Orlando again. For being both hysterically funny and amazingly serious, both of which are desperately needed when speaking of rights and war and sex and love. For letting the first-show audience see the second show free, closer up. For letting us realize that you are an amazing actress as well as a comedian; the timing is amazing. And for, especially, speaking out against prejudice and injustice, when in the
shallow industry that is show business you wouldn't have to to make a buck. Lenny Bruce would be proud; I
sure as hell am. Long may you explode.

Steve

The thing about fan mail is that I've only done it...once. About 3 months ago I wrote a letter to Jim Verraros (before he had a "Coming out" article in Advocate) saying how cool he was and how I admired him. A good part of my writing to him was because I thought he was the "cutest thing on TV." And I use that term loosely when it comes to people because normally the only things I find cute are dogs and the look of afterglow.
Anyway, looking back on that first letter I realize just how embarrassing fan mail must be.
A lot of gushing and brown-nosing.
But the difference between this letter and the one to Jim is that, for the first time, I feel like I'm making contact with someone who inspires me to want to do more with my life than just live it for the moment. You're words make me want to tackle every adversity and conquer it.
Margaret, I can't even begin to describe just how amazing I think you are. The first time I read "I'm the one that I want" I knew that there was hope for society.
You're honesty, to me, represents everything I wish for in this world.
On Saturday, with my best "fag hag" by my side, I came to Orlando to see you perform at the Hard Rock. My first time seeing you live.
Watching you from the third row, (God Bless Ticketmaster online!) so pumped up and inspired, blew my mind away. I walked away thinking, "If only the rest of the world were as enlightened how much better we would be!"
When you started talking about your grandmother and Alzheimer's, I silently became choked up. My own grandfather, who was perfectly healthy in October, began suffering severe dementia in November, and by Christmas was put inside a nursing home for what little time remains in his life. I understood the pain you felt at seeing her slowly fall apart. I felt the same anger when I went to visit him in January, only to find that the attendants at the home had not bothered to bathe him in 8 days.
You have a gift at tapping into the problems we all experience and offering up solutions in a humorous way that somehow makes it bearable.
Thank you for being my inspiration. I am so glad to grow up in a time when there are heroes like yourself out making a difference and leading the way for fans like myself.
Sincerely,
Brian

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Margaret,
Your show was absolutely amazing! You made me laugh and you made me cry. We loved the "Asian Salad" part....I always like to say, "it's not as good as my mom's"....good luck on your tour and we all look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for giving us "Revolution".

Angee

P.S. Firestone rocked Saturday Nite...I think everyone from your show ended up there....he heeeeeeeee

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Karen,
I'm sure you and Margaret get the occasional letter asking for advice on how to be this or that and how to break into the entertainment business. I just saw Margeret @ her Orlando Hard Rock Cafe show this March 22 and since my birthday started at midnight, the 23, I have to thank you, Margaret and everyone involved for making this probably the best birthday ever and to date. That, and getting that over- priced margarita at 10 p.m. so that it was well into my bloodstream for the big 2-7 was fun in itself.
The weird thing is, on the way to the show, I was lamenting to my boy friend how being quarter -Japanese- American is weird because you go through days of being a human, a person, okay, basically I'm as white and conventional as everyone else in mainstream America. Then, boom, some Euro-American of African- American will do something insulting and when I stand up for myself or get interrogated like I'm being questioned for even being allowed in the room, that's when it sucks, the stereotypes, racism, hypocrisy. I'm really glad I'm not the "last unicorn," that that there is a whole society out there that relates.
Then, I hear Margaret, and she's repeating the same stuff I was saying on the way over. If she saw some multi-ethnic woman in row 5 poking her date in the arm for "see, I told you so." affirmation, that was me.
She has inspired me and currently reminded me to get on the ball with my screenwriting projects and film investor search. Plus, she is one of my matron saints for assisting me in realizing that love and happiness is something you are supposed to give yourself and that I'm hot with my exterior and interior and any one who doesn't like it can bite me and feel my wrath, like those racist U.S. border patrol cops that I willingly traumatized. I'm glad to reach this point of being a bitchy multi-ethnic chick that knows I belonged everywhere and that no one can throw me out. So, thank you , Margaret Cho for being more famous than me so that there are kids and inner-kids out there who now have someone as a role model.
Thank you to your entire production company that graced the Central Florida area.
Viva la revolution, E.
p.s. every time I see someone who's asian heritage or mixed like myself on t.v., even if it's a car insurance commercial, I'm all, "represent!" which has made the neo-nazi racist hag next door spying on us through the fence piss herself in fear. It's a great feeling. And I have Margaret's influence to be grateful for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret, I just wanted to congratulate you on the March 22nd show in Orlando. I am a huge fan of yours and Im only in high school! I found out about the show in January and I was so happy because it so happens that March 22nd was my 17th Birthday and the best present was getting to see you live (great seats too). I went with my mom and I just want to say that I think what you said really got through to her, besides just making her laugh! It made her think, and inspired me and my other lesbian, gay, and bi friends (who will no doubt hear all about the show and be heavily encouraged to go to St.Petersburgh or Ft.Lauderdale). I wanted to thank you so much for sending a positive message out. Viva la Cho Revolution!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret, my best friend Walter bought me truely, the best birthday present one could ask for... tickets to see you live at the Hard Rock. Him and I have been fans for many years. You've inspired me to be a budding fag hag. I just want to say that reading your book, and finally seeing you live after being a fan for so many years, truely touched me. You have been a true inspiration in my life. It is so refreshing to see someone voicing the opinions of so many people who have been quieted for so many years. Your gay rights activism has inspired me to stand up for what i believe in within my own small minded community. As hard as it has been, getting my car defaced and being taunted at work for the gay pride sticker on my car, all i have to do is read your book, and i am again inspired to stand up for my beliefs. Thank you for being such a real inspiration to the youth of america, and for all of the laughter that has gotten me through some rough times.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I am writing to give you a big "Job well done!" I was at the 8pm show in Orlando and thought that you were amazing. I have to say that you have us gay men pegged! It was hysterical because I went with friends and we were constantly able to relate with your comments. here a few for example...

I am an interior designer student....my name happens to be Christopher, just not Lowell!!!. I had the Dream Girls soundtrack in my bag!!! No lie!!! and
I work for AVEDA.

Anyway, thanks for creating a night to laugh, think, and be comfortable with who you are. You are the best!!

Sincerely,

Chrstopher

Saw you last night at the Hard Rock in Orlando.

The three of us drove up from the Tampa area to see you. We'd been dying to see you for years and yes last night we were virgins to your live shows. But now being de-flowered, we can't wait until you are in the region again!

We also loved the idea that the three of us could be open and in and amongst fellow alternate lifestyle people. And more importantly be COMFORTABLE! That doesn't happen too often where we are.

We are a (FMM) polyandric triumvirate and so don't fit in with the normal Tampa Bay denizens. So to get out and be surrounded by others whom don't quite fit yet in the grand US scheme was freeing. And best of all we had you there
to make it all the more happy.

When you started out with yout findings on the Thai sex shows and you mentioned the ping pong we knew exactly what it all entailed. Of which on the way home and a stop for some drinks netted our own "Pussy Make Change!" so we hadn't really left your show for a long time afterwards!

Lots of Love!
James, Lori and Kevin
(Cos she likes being inbetween!)

------------------------------------------------------------------

THANK YOU , lisa in orlando :)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,

Thank you once again for not only the sore abs and cheek muscles I have today, but also for the empowering words and message that come through loud and clear. You really are a pioneering voice for so many people.

Dear Margaret,

I saw your show in Philadelphia on April 24. You were AWESOME!!!

I truly appreciate your talent. You have the rare ability to make one laugh, blush, and think all at the same time!

Many of the themes in your show have been subject of conversation in my home- the correct pronunication of
the word nu-cle-ar, lack of diversity in 9-11 coverage, the media's obsession with telling young women how to look, and of course plastic surgery.

Thank you for a fun evening and more importantly forstating truths when others in the media won't.

Rock-On!
Chris

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret, I just saw you last night in Philadelphia at the Academy of Music. I want to thank you for such a wonderful show. I love your shows and think that you are one amazing woman.

I think you are so right that there aren't many good role models out there for young people. I think that you are one of those few role models. I just wanted to thank you!

Love,
Laura

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,
I was at your show in Philly last night. You need to know that you totally have that trickle down affect going on. You are my "siamese dream". Margaret, my lover(gar)and I love you so much. We all love you. The world loves you. Margaret what I saw last night was magical and such a beautiful experience I wish everyone could experience you the way I did. Keep on going and if anyone is in your way girl, you mow em' down.
Thank You
Jason

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,

I saw your show in Philadelphia last night, and I just wanted to tell you that you are an amazing, beautiful, hilarious woman and more inspirational than Martin Luther King. I think I love you! (But I'm not going to stalk you
or anything.)

Anyway, keep doing what you're doing.

xo,
Caroline

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Margaret!

Just wanted to say how great your performance was last night at the Academy of the Arts in Philadelphia. I think you are absolutely brilliant. I myself, along with almost every other woman out there, have suffered with a distorted body image for as long as I can remember. Up until last night I had been skipping meals, on the border of an eating disorder. But seeing you has made me change the way I feel about myself. You had said your only role model when you were young was Hello Kitty (which was hilarious by the way), I had also been looking towards Sanrio characters for a personal hero.
But I've decided that you truly are a role model. I love how open you are, and seeing you last night, I've had this rebirth in which I'm not going to judge my body against other bodies and I'm going to be outspoken. I feel like I've been hiding in this body I used to hate, and now I'm finally being left out. So thank you for your inspiration and your amazingly hilarious
show!

Sincerely,
Marissa S.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,
I feel that it's okay to call you by your first name. I feel like I know you. I have watched every video and read every book, and tonight I was finally able to see you in person. You didn't see me, of course, since I was on the third tier, half falling out of my seet to see you..... but it counts. You are one of my biggest role models. You say what you feel, and get in people's faces, and that makes you who you are. I was a part of the protest outside of Santorum's office this evening. My boyfriend and I were standing on a potted plant, and he had his arms over my shoulders. I didn't even think about it until people started taking pictures. 8 photographers took pictures, including Philly Weekly. One man leaned in and said to me "you know, what you two are doing is just as loud as what they're doing" and pointed at the crowd. I hadn't even realized I was doing anything. I was just standing on a plant, watching a protest. But it made me think. I realized that that is what this protest and every other fight that we fight is about. The freedom to be ourselves, both in every day life and in the bedroom. Throughout today people have made dozens of comments about the two of us, ranging from encouragement to all-out gay bashing, but that man's comment about us hugging on a flower pot struck home.
This e-mail started out as an "I'm your biggest fan" letter, but I think it became more than I thought. You're not just a comedian, you're a role model. I spent 3 years of middle and high school thinking of ways to kill myself. I'm 5'10" and 135 lbs, with a 28" waist, and I try to think of ways to lose weight. I eat an average of one meal every two days. The things that you say on stage hit home with me. The fact that you can come on stage, take off your shoes and let down your hair... do an entire show barefoot... says something about you. You're comfortable with your audience, but more importantly, you're comfortable with yourself.
Anyway, I know you are a very busy person, and may not even get to read this e-mail, but if you do, thank you for taking the time to hear my thoughts, and even more importantly thank you for being you. Thank you for taking a stand. Thank you for not caving. Thank you for caring. You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are a goddess. Never change.

With the Greatest Respect,

-Tom

------------------------------------------------------------------

I attended your show tonight in Philadelphia, and talked to you for a brief second after, about how you had been an inspiration for me to get our voice heard. In doing so I had started up a glbts student union at my school, the
University of the Arts. I am e-mailing you because, once again, you have inspired me with you message of being heard and fighting back. Tonight I feel as though I am thinking, I'm mean really thinking for the very first time. My mind is reeling thinking about all the injustices we as a people are suffering, and how we all are not satisfied with who we are. I was talking to my friend Harold, and he reminded me how we as a culture just lie down and let the lies that the media tell us shape how we feel about ourselves. I to have suffered most of my life from being a person of size, but as I listen to your words in you movies, a light bulb clicks in my head, and I realize I have nothing to be ashamed about. I have always been a strong person, and I can usually take what people say to me, but you're right, when someone attacks me against my homosexuality or my size, it hurts me, deep down and I would simply take the pain I was feeling and hide it. No more! It poisons me and makes me feel bad about myself, when it is the people saying these things that need to think about what they are saying. I have been oppressed for to long about who I am. making excuses for it, liking who I am, but feeling guilty for it by the rest of society. But that is their shit, not mine. Why should i feel bad that I am overweight? or gay? I'm standing up for myself from now on, and letting people know that what they are saying and doing is not alright, letting them know that it hurts and that I'm not going to just sit here and take it and more. I don't want to feel that way anymore, it's time for my voice to be heard, and you have helped me find it. I thank you so much for your inspiration, and your gustiness for being willing to put it all out there, because some of us do live here, have bought our houses here, and other people need to be brought here to see what it is all about.

Thank you so much for helping me,
Bryce A.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Margaret for taking us ALL there tonite in Philly...I cried almost as much as I laughed. What a powerful grounded performer you are, with some of the sanest political views I have heard in a long, long time. Your vulnerability always catches me off guard, once again a trip with you along with mirror of myself.

Truly a gift to laugh with the couple thousand people there tonite at the Academy of Music under the grace of your amazing words. Being a white, gay and almost 41 year old male does have a lot of priviledges...and I need to continue to "go there" while giving "too much information" while being genuine, while being real, while being me.
May the World wake up and listen to what you have to say...long live the Cho Revolution!!!

With much love and respect,
John

Margaret you fu%%ing Rock!

My boyfriend and I attended your show on Friday 03/08/03 in Phoenix! Thank you for being you!

We've watched your two DVD's 100 times each & can't seem to stop quoting you.

Thanks a bunch!
XO
Matt

Hi Margaret.

I saw your Portland, OR show and let me say this, a little pee came out I laughed so hard. I got Premium seats (2nd Row, dead center, you locked eyes with me a lot, do you want me or something?) so anyone out there wondering if you should get Premium seats, DO IT! You get to see her facial expressions before anyone else.

What a wonderful voice you are for anyone that isn't a repressed bigot. You have this seamless way of expressing what it's like to be me, or her, or him, or anyone else. Your humor is the perfect remedy of everyday malaise. Your politicalness is dead-on. Mix it all together and you're the perfect voice for this generation.Thank you for making me laugh at myself and especially for allowing me to laugh at other people when they do dumb things. We're all human, we're all here to just live, we're all on this big rock together and you help to make us realize that.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,
Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed your show in Portland last Thursday. I live in Medford and drove 5 hours to see you. A trip well worth it!!
I loved the way you would talk about serious, but much needed topics and then throw something so funny and outrageous in the middle of it all.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhonda Loftis
There I sat, an obvious lesbian, in the Schnitzer Auditorium in Portland. My older VERY straight sister sat to my left and to my right sat, my recently legal, "Girl's are fun but boys are better." niece. The show was a perfect venue for us to share quality time: if only someone had had a Kodak.

My sister loved the blow job jokes. She shot me questioning looks about the fisting, proclaiming, "I don't want to know." I looked to my niece saying, "I certainly don't want to know, and your mother still thinks you're a virgin."

Best of all, my sister and I took great pride in the young woman we both raised, as you spoke of queer youth and their lack of support we recognized we had done our jobs For my magnificent niece started a gay/straight support club at her high school. No small feat considering she had to threaten to sue the school board of the small farming community in which we live. And all of this from a fifteen year old. The sole voices of acceptance are becoming a crescendo, and you are the choir leader Girlfriend!

Now, I will say "Thank You"

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Margaret (and everyone who supports bringing her voice to the masses!)

Thank you for taking us on such an emotional roller coaster last night.

I work with high school students that are sexuality education activists and educators, and you are truly a godsend. We laughed, we cried, we felt empowered and alive. Believe that you are changing the world with that incredible voice, and in turn activating your audience to do the same.

What moved me the most last night was when you were talking about silence equalling non-existence, and that racial minorities, sexual minorities, and feminists (both male and female) must work together and make our voice heard.

It's time for us all to start screaming....

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there...my name's Brad Williams and I just came to see your performance tonight at the Schnitzer Concert Hall here in Portland. I have to say...I have never laughed so hard at anything in my lifetime. My girlfriend and I think you're the absolute coolest. The material was very fresh and I can't wait to see you again when you come back! Thanks!

- Brad.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret, I just had to write and tell you how fabulous your show is. Sounded to me like everyone at the Schnitzer enjoyed themselves as much as I did. You realize how wicked bad you are for bladder control, though! I'm sure the tour will be a smashing success, as the last two have been. Thank you SO much for returning, I'll be there for the next visit too. To steal a phrase from the exquisite Maya Angelou, girl, you make me proud to spell my name w.o.m.a.n.!
Just had to mention that I read that you love Neil Finn. Is that man a gift, or what?!?!? I love him and his music so much that I just got his signature tattooed on my right arm. He has a great signature, very abstract and angular. Have you been able to see him live yet?

Raleigh, NC

I just wanted to send a letter of thanks to Margaret. She is such an inspiration to me, and very funny. I sit and I listen to her, and I just think about what an impact she has had on me, and all of the subjects that she talks out about. I am a gay male that is overweight. She talked about her struggle, and how people pick on kids in school. It felt like she was talking about me. I had a hard time in high school because I was in a lot of extra ciricular activities. I was in chorus, drama, show choir, numerous clubs and a cheerleader. I got called faggot at least once a day at school. I know that there are more people that get the some riducule at school, but at the time you feel that you are the only one that this is happening to, and I did not feel that anyone was listening to me at school when I tried to tell the priciple or my couselor about what was going on. I have since come to terms, that yes I am a gay man, and I am very proud of that. My family and all of my friends know that. I just want Margaret to know that I greatly appreciate her comedy and all of her fighting and public speaking for the gay community. Margaret, you are the BEST!!!

Sincerely,

Steven

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Margaret:

I just want to say thanks for coming to NC, and I hope on your next tour you will come into Charlotte! It was around this time last year that I rented the DVD of "I'm The One I Want" and it was my first rental ever that was geared positively toward the gay community. It was a big step for me and for my self image. I was moved to tears just like I was when I went to watch Notorious CHO in a small theatre in Chapel Hill.

Last night was so amazing to me, I laughed, I cried, and gained some more pride in who I am, not just as a gay man but as a person of size and intelligence. About your show. . . Its all ok about wanting to just let the head out cause I think we have all have been in that situation. . and yes it hits you in the car when you least need it, for me its Enya. I want to sign that petition you started In honor of that "former fan" and her colleagues at work. I would also like to say I have not laughed so hard at "pussy" and especially a "pussy with rear defrost" ever, cause as a gay man I avidly try and avoid the pussy.

Thanks for all the awareness you bring and thanks for starting a Revolution in North Carolina! Last night I watched you and right in front of me I saw a lesbian couple and one row up from that I saw the cutest male couple and it just brought tears to my eyes knowing I was among "my people." I look forward in seeing you in Atlanta and I cant wait for my best friend my fag hag as I call her, and my boyfriend to see you too. I and I know that just maybe in Atlanta someone sitting behind us may say "Aww what a cute couple," just as I did last night. Now I am going to go back to my own little world cause you know It sure as hell beats where I work.


Thanks and may the rest of your tour be smooth and without gas. . .

I rode two hours from Greenville, NC to get the last of many signs that I needed to jump into that scary situation that is the end of a relationship. Straight people can be out too, and I am finally OUT!
You have an incredible amount of power over people; something I'm sure you already know. But for you to keep saying what you want and encouraging change and progress and self-respect, knowing that people will make life-altering decisions, is admirable and brave. I thank you for that.
I had a great time, thank you for coming to little podunk Raleigh.

Margaret,

I wanted to say I enjoyed SO much, your show @ NCSU last night...I haven't laughed that hard in I can't tell you how long. My mother is Korean, and I LOVE when you do your imitations of your mom. Hilarious. Reminds me of mine. When you were telling your joke about not having scotch tape, and having to improvise at home, before you said it, I whispered to my friend next to me, "She's gonna say RICE"..YOU DID..FLASHBACK for me!!! My mom used to tell me to use RICE when I would complain about not wanting to lick the envelopes! I was talking to my mom, & was telling her about your joke, and before I could say it, SHE SAID RICE! I DIED!!! You're the best, continue doing what you do! You also had alot of important messages you conveyed about equality, united voices, and equal rights for ALL, including all minorities..I can't wait for the next opportunity to see you again! Thanks again!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Margaret,
I have just attended your show at N.C. State University tonight, March 19. I left the show with such overwhelming feelings that I thought I must write to you. I am a size 12 female and also happen to be a lesbian. Being teased all my life about my weight was not easy as you need no explanation. However, I have just began my journey as a lesbian woman. I am currently in my first lesbian relationship of a year and a half and have only grazed the surface of realizing how difficult it is. I do think that being in college makes things easier because our generation is so excepting and open-minded. However, I felt as though you were speaking directly to me tonight about how I should not feel as though I need to hide myself from my family who I am not out to and my friends who I am partially out to. Your Revolution has really made me want to be PRO-Active about gays and lesbians, women and minorities. I have stopped looking for people to look up to who are everything that I'm not. American Idol doesn't even compete with the growing admiration and idolization I have had for you over the past few years. Thank you so much for this Revolution Tour and thank you for reaching out and touching people like me. I have attached a picture of myself and my girlfriend for you to have a chance to see two of your biggest fans and followers. Thank you over and over again for inspiring a fire in my heart, to not be ashamed of who I am, how I look, or who I love.

dear margaret

i saw your show in red bank new jersey, i live almost 2 hours away in bergen county and my best friend and i thought we were going to be late as we flew at 80mph to see you and got amazing parking right out side by luck ! Our seats were like 5 feet from you. WE brought you a present but you left too quickly, I always remember you do an ENCORE and i was waiting for that to give it to you. We brought you flowers in a 7-11 BIG GULP, because we know how much you hate to look around for a vase. The show was amazing, you had us crying when you did the story about vagina exploding. You are actually the reason my best friend and I are friends. We saw your video "I'm the one that I want" at a house party in Philly, and we bonded over it. So thank you for that. You really changed my life, sometimes when I feel down or upset, i put on the end of your cd " Notorious cho" and listen to your self esteem advice.
thank you for always having the courage to speak the truth.
love
BRENDAN

Hi,

I've never seen your show before so I can't say that I was a fan. But I am now!

Thank you for a great time and all the laughs.

Sincerely,


DENNIS

------------------------------------------------------------------

I brought a WHOLE bunch of people with me to your show in Red Bank. They had never seen you before, but I did such wonderful impressions of you and they thought it was hysterical. Now, they are all going out to buy your movies!!!
I can not wait to see where the "SPECIAL NJ./NYC" performance will be because I want tickets!!!(front row preferably HAHA). When we saw it, we could not see your face on the screen in Red Bank because there was a huge bar of
lights in the way. We were not able to see the famous Margaret faces..It was still such an incredible night and I can NOT wait to see the next show that you do... I LOVE YOU !!! You keep everything real, lively and fucking HILARIOUS. MUAH!!!

Dear Ms. Cho
I went with my 18 year old daughter (who initially turned me on to you) and laughed as much as I knew I would. But even better than that is that you gave voice to my thoughts and feelings about what is going on in the world today. I am enraged and crazed over the insanity, incompetence and inhumanity of our government.

You timed all your points so perfectly, let everyone squirm a bit as they should when you recount the racial, homophobic, misogynistic and destructive acts that are occurring and then give us all relief in laughter. But this was your best because you weren't just planting seeds but whole orchards. What a message of hope in the midst so much craziness.

At 50, I'm finally have the courage to speak out for what I know is right. How wonderful that you have the insight and courage at your age. The variation on the silence theme that I first heard was " Your silence will not save you."

This is the first fan letter I have written in my entire life. What a remarkable and beautiful woman you are inside and out.

Hello, Margaret! I just arrived home from your first show this evening and I must tell you...Awestruck, Hilarious, Enlightening and Moving all come to mind.

I was awestruck when you walked on stage. You are so beautiful! (and this coming from a gay man :-) You had an 'aura' about you and you looked like "a million bucks"! :-) I must admit, though, I was a little concerned about the first hairdo so I was glad when you tossed it! Bottom line, you looked like someone who is in control of and who is happy with themselves!

Your show was hilarious...just what the doctor ordered! Lot's of fun and laughter! Margaret, your expressions and actions steal the show....you are very talented!

Enlightening was something I didn't expect. When you spoke about the discrimination against Asians and Gays/Lesbians being the same thing...it was like a lite bulb went off in my brain. How true that each is an integral part of our life. To deny it would be a denial of "self".

And finally...Moving! You are a political "mover and shaker" Ms. Cho! I wish you would run for President! When I left the theatre I could not remember a time when someone grabbed my soul like you did and point it in the right direction. Thank you so very much for being so very outspoken. I want to be part of that "huge" voice which won't stand for it anymore!

Thank you for sharing time with all of us here in San Diego! I wish you well on your tour! Congrats on your 'engagement' and hope you enjoy happiness for a very long time...

With all respect and sincerity for a modern "mentor"...

Peter

Margaret -

The sides of my face still hurt from laughing and smiling at your show on Saturday Night in San Francisco. I was in town with my boyfriend on vacation from North Carolina and it was our last night there, and we couldn't have had a better time!! It was THE PERFECT end to our vacation. I have never laughed so much or so loud in my LIFE!!!
You ROCK SISTA!!!!!!!!! There are not enough words to describe the experience of seeing you live!! Not only are you hilarious but your show is full of thought provoking moments and so inspirational. I have been a fun since "All American Girl" and your HBO special - back in the day. REVOLUTION was quite an experience and I left your show, and your hometown that much more in touch with humanity. I truly mean this. Thanks so much for giving so much of yourself! You do make a difference with your stories and your unflinching honesty....

Hi Margaret!

I saw your show last Friday night at the Masonic Center in SF and I absolutely loved it. Growing up Asian (Korean & Chinese)in the Bay Area I experienced many of the same things you mention in your act. I think you are wonderful because you grew up not allowing anyone to put you or the things you stand for down. You Go, Girl!!!

I just want to say Thank You for entertaining me as well as being a strong voice representin' young, independent Asian women. You are a true Bad Ass.

I also want to let you know how great you look! You inspired me to get out there and exercise! How'd you do it? Do you have a trainer and nutritionist aside from your "F#$k It" days? Wow! ;o)

Best of luck on your tour. I'm sure you will get the same response as you did in SF. Take care and thanks for making me laugh (always) and not putting up with people's crap. "I am woman, hear me roar!"

Best Wishes,
Tina

Hi Margaret!

I really do not know how to begin to thank you. My brother, his boyfriend, and I all went to your San Francisco show on March 14. I am almost 20 years old, and thanks to you and your positive message, I have finally mustered up the courage and strength to come out to my friends and family.

If I could put into words how much you've made my life better, I would. The show was hilarious and I loved how you showed the similarities between homophobia and racism. I live in the midwest at the moment, but I was visiting my brother so I could look at art colleges and of course, go to your show! You had us rolling the entire time, especially when you talked about shitting in the car!!! :)

My brother and I came back to Nob Hill the next day to try to meet you, and were lucky enough to catch you, pizza in hand :) before you got in your limo. I thank you for two wonderful photos for my brother and I and an autograph. I had never imagined I would get to visit my brother, AND meet my hero! Thanks again for everything, though I'm sure you hear it all the time. If one person has impacted my life in so many ways, it is you...and I am grateful.

I can't wait until the dvd comes out now, and my friends hear your jokes daily. The week before we saw your show we had the very same discussion about George W. and NUCLEAR, or should I say..."Nucular." Did you go to the anti-war protest on Saturday? I wore the Revolution tshirt and got many compliments! It's unbelievable how your peeps can come together! ;) Thanks for showing us a good time. Keep 'em laughing, I smile to think how many more lives you'll change throughout the rest of your tour.

Much love,
Kate

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Margaret...
Whoa, oh my god, I don't know what to say, I absolutely love you. I saw your show in San Francisco on March 15, and I think you just might be the funniest, most vulgar, and most fabulous person in the world. I love the way you reject the "oh, don't go there" attitude, because "there" is so much better. Not only can we have a whole lot more fun, but we can
come together and change the world You are right, silence does equal death.... Thank you for inciting Revolution, it is long overdue, and thank you for making us pee our pants in the process!

Peace, love, happiness.... and a gazillion more
laughs,
Steve

------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh HONEY! You hit home in so many ways in San Francisco! What an amazing show. I left there Friday night thinking - I have to email her.

I am a gay Navy vet that got investigated under Don't Ask Don't Tell (BUT I WON!!! They didn't kick me out...it's quite a story though). I was senior ranking and did very well as a Sailor. Hearing you say the words I have said for so many years, "How dare you ask me to die for my country, but not let me be myself and be gay." I was bouncing in my chair - leaping up. I have never heard anyone say anything like I do - ever. I was so happy.

But you did one more thing for me. I just finished my Bachelor's degree - after 10 years of night school - being in the Navy - working full-time etc. I am making my announcements to tell family and friends. On the backside of the announcement I am putting a little note about what I have done in my life. After your show I came home and changed "I sing with a 250 member all male chorus" to "I sing with the 250 member San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus." Why do I worry about my family's friends who don't know that I am gay - getting this letter and my mother possibly getting upset? I am out to the world - but not everyone knows. But, SFGMC is just the name of the chorus...it's not like I'm blurting out in my letter "Oh yea - and I am a big ol' homo" (indirectly - yes). Your show made me realize that if I hide even in the little ways - things will never change. That I almost didn't say something accurately - that I am so proud of. THank you. THank you SO much. I am GAY - in the GAY MEN'S CHORUS - a chorus that is selective...and an accomplishment to be a part of. Girl - you damn near have me running down the street in pride underwear alone. You are so invited to my graduation and the party to follow. I know I know - you're touring...damn. I'd have loved to give you a hug and a sloppy ol' fag kiss on the cheek.

I thank you for an amazing show...I thank you for opening my eyes a little bit more. My best to you - and may others hear your messages as loudly and clearly as I did.

Love from a 27 year old who just grew a little more,
James

Margaret,
Thank you for a brilliant and extremely funny show. My daughters (ages 15 and 17) and I came to see you on the night of May 17th in Seattle. It was the night of my 17-year old daughter's senior prom. She has been through hell and back this last year and I have to say, your show was one of the only bright spots through these times.

We adopted our daughters from Korea when they were 3 1/2 months old. My oldest daughter, Pamela, has been struggling with depression over the last year and a half. She is a straight A student, funny, and very creative who
just "didn't fit in" in high school. She also struggles with her weight and many of the other issues you speak of in your show. I don't think I've seen her laugh as much as I did on the night of the 17th! :) Thank you for giving us a great girls night out, and a chance to laugh heartily together!

If you are back in Seattle sometime, we'd LOVE to meet you. You look so much like Pam that it is really amazing--and NO--I don't think all Asians look the same! It would especially mean a lot to Pam to meet you as she is a huge fan of yours!

After buying a dress for prom and considering going with a friend, Pam learned that you were coming to town and asked if we could go to the paramount in Seattle to see you instead. Judging by the "thank you SO much Mom's" that I received from Pam and Kim, and Pam's comment--"this was so much better than going to prom" I am grateful to you. I know that my daughter will always remember her Margaret Cho prom night!

Thanks again,
Debbie

PS--I loved the show too--I can't remember when I've laughed this much and had so much fun with my daughters!

------------------------------------------------------------------

You are so my hero! I was at your first show on 5-17, and this is the fifth time I've seen you in Seattle. I'm so pleased that you have worked your way from Kane Hall to the frickin Paramount and Beniroya! Pretty soon you'll be at the 5th Ave. I want to share a huge laugh my Mom and I had in the lobby pre-show. We came out of the ladies' room,
and noticed a longass line at the men's room. We said at the same time, "That's weird", and then at the same time again said, "Ooooooh I know!" We were rollin cause only at your show would you have all them pretty gay boys primpin and such, holding up the men's room, and the girls getting down to business!! You make me proud, and I can't say I've ever
been proud of someone I didn't know personally. You are my most favorite funny girl, and I hope you never stop touring! Thank you. d.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Just saw the show in Seattle this past Saturday night and it was a blast! I was so pleased to get to see you in person FINALLY. I want to thank you for your great insights into our culture and society and of course your outstanding sense of humor. I have been a fan for a long time and traveled from Nashville (a recent transplant) to Seattle just to see you. So you can imagine (or maybe not) my delight in learning that a tentative date had been set for Nashville. I beg and urge you to please come and release your wildness on this town that so needs some shaking up!

Thanks again and keep rocking it!

------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW! Saw your show in Seattle on Saturday night. What an incredible performance! My partner and I have been fans of yours for sometime (he's a native San Franciscan and has spent much time in your parents book store) but have never seen you perform live. The movies are great but they do not compare to being there. Keep your message going! And girl, keep being as funny and entertaining as you are.

Staw away from those nurocular weapons of mass destruction,

Tom

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Margaret Cho,

As a veteran and the President of AVER (American Veterans for Equal Rights) Puget Sound, I wish to thank you for mentioning the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy in your Seattle performance on May 17th.

After serving 15 honorable years in the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the USCG discharged me in March 2002 for being gay. While being involuntarily discharged, it became painfully obvious that most Americans have no clue that the military continues to ban GLBT people from service. Your performance brought the issue up to hundreds of people and I hope that those attending your performance left realizing that the military does indeed continue to ban Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgendered people.

Thank you,

Michael

------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Margaret,

WOW! What a great show!!! I just wanted to email and tell you how lucky I feel to have been able to see you yesterday at Seattle's Benaroya. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. I went with my mom and dad. My mom was laughing so hard she was crying and my dad was laughing so hard I wasn't sure if he was going to be ok.
It is great how comfortable you are with your audience. Thank you for "giving us too much information." That's how it should be. When I sat there watching you last night I wished everyone could hear your message. You are right on. I am grateful that I live in a time (and place) where I can come and hear your message. I also saw you at Giggles in Seattle almost a year ago when you were putting together the Revolution tour. I went with a group of about 10 of my Cho Fan friends. We were right in the front row. We could have reached out and touched you, we were so close, but we restrained ourselves.
Anyway, thank you again for being you! You touch so many people and you are making a difference. Good luck with the rest of the tour and stay away from those persimmons..

Love, Simone

How fucking hilarious were you the other night in St. Louis! 'Don't go there....I live there'. I took my best friend who likens himself to a Log Cabin Republican and has previously stated he opposes same sex marriage...after the show as we were still laughing with tears in our eyes...he stated 'perhaps I need to look more closely at this issue' Another friend of mine made a special effort to send her sixteen year old daughter to your show to see a 'hilarious, out there, REAL feminist in action'.
We ran into Bruce at the Loading Zone after the show and he was his charming, handsome self...I was so pleased to hear from him that he will be in the upcoming film of 'Revolution' the two of you very much compliment each other. When watching Bruce I felt as if I was watching a friend of mine who has a wry, intelligent take on his experience. What a smart choice you made asking him to be your 'warm up' what I liked best about him is that he wasn't a 'man who's black comic' he's not a 'gay comic' he's just a guy who happens to be black and gay with a humorous perspective and incredible comic timing.
It was the best $45 I have spent in a long time!
Thanks for doing what you do and good God Margaret thank you for making us laugh while we look in the mirror and see bits of our selves in you.
Please come to my birthday party in St. Louis between Christmas and New Years...It's a post baby jesus, happy fucking birthday, it's not really 2004 and I'm not 42 yrs old celebration. (If I'm still single by then everybody has to bring me a date)
Love ya, mean it. No strings!
Daniel

Hi Margaret! I just got back from your Revolution show in St. Petersburg, FL. First of all, you're amazing, your show was great because it made me laugh until i cried and because you also managed to use that power of art that you talked about to get your opinion across to so many people who really listened to you. Second, i just wanted to tell you that i'm really glad that you are out there giving "way too much information" because i can completely empathize with you about feeling like you don't have a female to really look up to in the public eye. I'm adopted from South Korea, so all of my life i've always felt like i had to choose between being American or South Korean or both... but i just don't feel both. I guess it's complicated. Seeing you on stage though, speaking out, being yourself and just being honest... it just shows that you have so much inner strength that makes me want to be the same way. I don't want to put you on the spot by making it seem like you're my role model and oh my god i want to be just like you cause apparently my cousins see me that way and it freaks me out. I just wanted to say thank you for being out there and finally giving Asian young adult women someone to be inspired by.


sincerely,
Sarah

Miss Margaret,

I have written in the past, and seen all of your shows and movies, even having the experience of one live in Toronto. I'm sure you would like to know that I even brought a few very naive Korean girls to your Toronto show. They were totally floored, in all respects, and still talk about you all the time. I just finished watching your new DVD, "Notorious CHO". I'm actually paused on your encore right now, but I felt that I had to write you a little something, so I hope you do get this letter after you're finished your new tour.

The last few minutes of your show hit me so hard, that I don't think I even have the words to express them. I am unfortunately caught up in a bit of a legal battle with a past employer over homophobic remarks causing me to quit my last job. I havent had any way to really vent these emotions until now. In a city as big as Montreal, with the first legalized gay marriage in Canada, I was still in shock to how I was let go of my job.

I just found myself so empowered by your words and thought you should know that you are not alone. You have taken the thoughts, ideas, strength from the heart of the gay community and turned it into such a mirror. To see myself like that, to feel your words and know the truth behind them, thankyou.

Thank you from the bottom of my disco dancing, ass pounding, polyester wearing, fast beating, little gay heart. Adam

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Ms. Cho,

Yesterday, I went to your show at the University of Toronto, and would like to thank you for a great performance… I especially liked the way you were able to make your points about society, and still keep the mood light-hearted… I know you’re a busy person, so I’m not going to make this a long message…

By the way, I have to say that the bit about having a gay child on-stage at Remington’s was very funny… I’m the main DJ there… Lucky for me, I had the night off… Don’t forget… If you want to come by any time again, we’d love to have you! ;)

Thanks for braving the Toronto weather :)

Bret

------------------------------------------------------------------

I just had to let you know..

I was at your Toronto Revolution-show, and the skit you did where you were on the plane and the flight attendant was serving “asian chicken salad” … okay, I could not stop laughing during that skit for TEN FUCKING minutes! My stomach was hurting. I had to stomp my feet on the floor like a fool because I could NOT get any AIR into my lungs from laughing so hard. It was FUCKING awesome. Everytime I looked at you on stage, in that fucked up squat-position with the expression on your face, analyzing that chicken salad, I lost it.. It was honestly the funniest thing I have EVER seen!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret,
Last night was the first time I'd ever seen you "live" and the show was brilliant! All your messages came through the laughter loud and clear! I love women with big, strong, informed opinions and you have the best delivery on the planet.
Thank you for getting in a car and driving through freezing rain & ice pellets all the way from Detroit.
Patti in Toronto

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Margaret!

I just caught your show in Toronto (April 4 @ 7pm)!

That joke you made about 'rice-as-glue' totally hit a cord with me - it's SOO true! And you're so right, non-asians will never know the pain of growing up and using rice as an arts and crafts adhesive ;o(

I don't know how this is gonna come off, considering I'm younger than you, but I'm so proud of you! Your talent and strength both inspires and encourages me ..as well, you made it possible for someone like myself to be able to look back at my childhood and laugh without any regrets.

I believe in the Cho Revolution ..so with your help, I'll keep Rocking in Free World!

Thanks for everything,
your Fan from Toronto,
Nancy

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Margaret,

Great show last in Toronto... You were amazing! Such incredible energy and passion... it totally came across that you were having just as much as we were! As a performer you have this incredible talent of connecting to your audience and knowing just what to say next... You keep it real and you keep it geniune which I can imagine after doing night after night of the same show can be a very difficult thing. You are not only funny as hell, but you always have this ability to convey such provocative statements in your shows that always leave the audience questioning their own place in this world. You bring humour to issues that aren't meant to be funny and challenge each of us to question our own ignorance about them at the same time. In a time where everybody seems to be kissing everybody else's asses, you stand your own ground and say what you wanna say and I thank you for that. Can't wait till next time...

Derek

I'm a 24 year old gay boy that was at your show last night. It was AWESOME. You spoke of words that I cant say. I'm one of the gay men with an eating disorder. I was sitting there & thinking my god here I was a fat 220lb gay guy. Who only wants to be loved so I dropped my weight to 145lbs in a matter of months. I realized aalot of it had to do with my surroundings where I lived where I hung out what I was looking at. I moved back home a year ago & over the year I have gained 20-25lbs. I'm honestly not sure how much I got back I'm scared to know. I'm also scared because I'm getting those thoughts that I need to lose the weight. so now I'm like eating less again. my eating habits are horrid I dont eat meat, & I hardly eat any veggies. I'm more of a fruit guy (no pun intended) But I think eating instant mashed
potatoes is more healthy then eating a full meal. There's nothing in Toronto for gay men to go & seek help with this issue. I dont want to go to someplace that is going to have judgments on me because I am Gay. I'm tired of the game with my life I have to stop the way I'm living it. but dont think I can.

Also last night our car spun out on the road we were almost T-boned & thrown into a brick wall BUT thank the goddess we were fine, & the first thing my friend says is what would margaret have done in this situation? I replied "she would have probably SHIT HER PANTS" like right NOOOOOW" your humor helped us releave alot of fears of what could have happend Thank you for a wonderfull night of laughs & honesty & most of all Thank you for the wake up call on my life & my health.

Shawn

Hello,
I recently went to see your "Revolution" show (a suprise from my girlfriend), and I just wanted to tell you that the show was GREAT! And thank you so much for coming to Tulsa, OK. I know you are used to performing in larger places, but thanks again for choosing OK as one of your stops. Everytime I watch one of your shows from my collection I become a bit more comfortable with who I am. I have also gained more courage in telling someone off when they criticize me for being a lesbian. Oklahoma isn't the easiest place to be "out".
Thank you for making me laugh:) and hope to see many more of your shows.
I'm off like a prom dress,
Kristi....
p.s. My girlfriend and I enjoyed hearing all about what pussy's do in those "movies" you talked about. We came up with another one: Crouching kitty, hidden pussy:)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Margaret......how come you don't come to churrrch?

I just wanted to tell you that I am STILL HURTING on Tuesday morning after laughing so hard during "Revolution" on Sunday night, Mar 9 at the Brady in Tulsa, OK. First of all, I am QUITE pleased that you considered Tulsa a venue worthy of gracing. That being said, I'm also very disappointed that it was not a sold-out house. That kinda pissed me off. That's Tulsa, but 5 years ago, you wouldn't have sold twenty tickets here and that says alot about the things going on here thanks to the type of works you and others at the forefront of the gay rights movement are accomplishing.

I couldn't stick around after the show so I'm not sure if you hung around in that bone-ass stupid cold, and I didn't take my digicam into the theater because taking pics of artists on stage is not only distracting, it takes money out of your pocket and that's just uncouth. I am hoping that you will have moichandise from this tour available on your website soon...I read about some in Chicago and Indy saying "Pussy Crack Corn" t-shirts etc...but I think they should be about something a little more subtle from the show such as "Asian Chicken Salad??" or "Didja ever notice??" or "Pannin' fer Pussy" t-shirts. That would rock.

I saw you at the Paramount in Denver for the "I'm The One That I Want" tour and you were hellaciously funny then but you really outdid yourself on this one. Bravo and keep that shit up. Or down...just make sure it stays warm :-) holiday....celebrate *baby*

PS....my grandmother isn't going to like me after I arrange for her persimmon trees to "be with jesus" in your honor!

------------------------------------------------------------------

I just saw your show last night in Tulsa, and I'm compelled to write you a letter thanking you for such a great evening. I have been a long time fan, dating back to when you were doing small venues before getting your television show. I think with this show you have really out done yourself. I had one of the best times I think I've ever had, and it was nice to be at an event that both made me laugh and gave me a sense of community at the same time. Oklahoma's not all backwards, but it's rare to find an event to go to, that's not a gay pride parade, a cher concert, or an art opening. Thanks again Margaret, I can't wait to see what you do next. Keep pushing forward, you make it easier for "Ass Masters" like me. You're the best.

Ricky*

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your wisdom, your wit and your beauty! The show last night was (of course) Fabulous! I have to apologize for the lack of audience,alot of my friends from Oklahoma City were not present due to the Sunday evening date and of course, gas pricing being so high. Please consider a date in Oklahoma City for your next tour. As my girlfriend and I traveled back home to Okc we passed the perfect tour bus for your next foray into fucked up diets (I pray that you don't but if you do). we passed the "Pootypollza" Charmin van. The absolute perfect vehicle for those on the persimmon diet! I almost wrecked the car. Thank you for all that you do if you can get them laughing then you can make them think...for all of us that are not perfect by Seventeen's standards, we the non moral majority in this country thank you!

The pussy comes in three-ply!

Love,
Michelle and Dianeme

CHO For Prez!!!!!

I just had to tell you how much I loved your show last nite. I swear I have never seen anyone who can make me laugh so hard, and think so much at the same time.

You are a Goddess and we love you.

--Sandy

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Miss Cho,

I am the primary caregiver for aged parents with Altzeimers and I am also the one who props up most of the posse in their times of drama and trauma. They all pushed me to the edge this past week and i have never needed a good laugh more. I laughed, cried, it became a part of me. Even funnier than last time. Thanks for surviving and stuff..

Drew

Margaret,

"Revolution" was your best show yet. We've been to all your shows. You have evolved into a great entertainer who forces your audience to think and most important to encourage them to think for themselves. Absolutely brilliant concert! We had a great time.

------------------------------------------------------------------

dear moran......(margaret)
i just wanteted to thank you for being such a wonderful person. i recentally went to your show in washington dc and i almost pissed my pants...from laughing...i first saw u on comedy central and the on your tv show all american girl. i think u r fucking hillarous and that u r suck a positive role model for young ladies....and when i was at your show i felt so at home in a room filled with gay men. when u were talking at the end of your show about how u hate when people attack other people for who they are. it made me fell so happy , and it made me feel like it was ok that i am gay.im only 17 so im still going through high school and all that bull shit ...but u just made me feel like it was ok for me to be who i was......i just wanted to say thank you so much for everything that u do! -joe- ps-kam sam ni da....i learned how to speak korean from my step mom......ahn nung!
