So, this Albuquerque show was postponed until Election Night 2012. The President won and that put Ed in a great mood. After the show, about 50 of us were lined up. His bodyguard came out and said he would not be signing autographs, but would love to shake everyone's hands. We all lined up and I would up being at the end.

I had a ukulele I wanted signed, but knew he wouldn't. I told him I wanted to show it to him since he couldn't sign it. He said, "I can't do that, but I have something better." He reached in his pocket and pulled out this lighter. I about passed out.

The other side has the EV Evel Knievel stars and stripes. I thought it was appropriate given the day.
