First of all these are a friends pics; 2ndly, they are Not the greatest pics due to about 50 of us wanting to get so close; so im hoping others will share what they have.
Needless to say, it was awesome just to be within 5 feet of the man.

we waited inside the alley right next to the stage door entrance where ed entered the building. We entered the alley from the van buren street side and stood up by the front of the semi that was in the alley.We watched everyone start screaming as ed and Jesse made their way thru the barricade and then they started the long walk toward the stage door entrance where we were.

So we were getting pretty excited to see the man himself getting larger and larger as he got closer to us.We asked ed if we could get the obligatory autograph,but since he had arrived so late from the cubs game,he just said that he had to hurry and go to work so we just asked if we could quickly shake his hand and all three of us each got to shake his hand.
We figured our chances were much better if waited in the alley instead of with everyone else out on Michigan ave. Too many people out there,so we knew he wouldn't sign anything out there.

And I didn't attempt to photograph him,because I know he doesn't care for that in public. It would have been to rude.
At least we got to shake his hand.Im extremely pleased and honored to have been able to do that after waiting in that alley from 2:30 to 6:40 when he finally arrived.

We also met Liam and Eliza back there when they stepped out for a smoke and talked to them for 5 minutes.That was an added bonus.

see, I thought he looked "stalker scared", but I loved the suitcase that he used from "imagine".......

I was also in the alley and took a couple of pictures with my iPhone. I thought it was exceptionally cool that Eddie came to chat with a few folks considering it was only an hour before the show. I'll try to pick a good place to post them and will post the link

anyone else get a pix after the show--like 2 hours or so after but had to use their phone as well?
