Before leaving Des Moines on Thursday night, Craig stopped for a bite at an Iowa barbecue hot spot:\r\n

Just had dinner @ Jethro’s in Des Moines. Spectaular. If you’re in Iowa have some hot meat there. Also some food. #<\/s>standardjokeformat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nHappy Birthday, Ted<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>January 25th may be Robert Burns<\/strong>‘ birthday but January 26th is Ted Alexandro<\/strong>‘s birthday!\u00c2\u00a0 He tweeted on Thursday:\r\n

The kind folks at Hoyt Sherman Place (tipped off by @<\/s>philcottone<\/strong><\/a>) gave me the royal birthday treatment! Many thanks!! http:\/\/pic.twitter.com\/XDt7rlXE<\/a><\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>And the backstage treats were just the beginning, because as you can see the photo captured by the RSA’s @bgrhubarb, Craig led the audience in Des Moines in song:\r\n

@<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> just led 1250 people singing happy birthday to me in Des Moines @<\/s>HoytSherman<\/strong><\/a>! Really awesome.<\/p>\r\nOn Friday, Craig tweeted from Kansas:\r\n

So far Wichita seems to be a town full of friendly hipsters. Kind of like chilly Austin TX. Once more my preconceived notions are bullshit.<\/p>\r\nCraig in Des Moines<\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe RSA”s @bgrhubarb<\/strong> captured some outstanding pictures of Craig on stage and shared them with us:\r\n\r\n[ssg-superb-slideshow=7=600=700=7000=750=0=NO]\r\nAll photos by: @bgrhubarb<\/strong>\r\nHover your mouse over any photo to pause the slideshow.\r\nClick on any picture to see it full size. <\/em>\r\n
This is just a small sampling of the photos @bgrhubarb took in Des Moines. For more than a hundred pictures in full size, check out her gallery<\/a>.\r\n\r\nHaunted Hotel<\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe RSA’s @VincentWaller72<\/strong> heard that Craig spent the night in a haunted hotel in Omaha Wednesday night and drew his interpretation of the scene:\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nCussy But Funny<\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe Omaha World-Herald<\/a> reviewed Craig’s Wednesday show, saying he may cuss a lot but he sure is funny. We can’t argue with that.\r\n\r\nBehind the Scenes in Paris<\/strong><\/span>\r\nEurokelly @RudyHellio<\/strong> got some great video behind the scenes during Craig’s week in Paris last June and set them to music. He re-posted them for fans to enjoy:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: RoQu3tO<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n

\r\nTonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nThe final episode of this week’s rebroadcast of the “Le Late Late Show” in Paris features a conversation with shoe designer Christian Louboutin<\/strong> and Craig’s performance with the dancers at the Moulin Rouge (from August 5, 2011<\/em>).\r\n
