Just getting home after dropping off Tusk, Babbs & Penny. I was very nice to a Chicago Cop that stopped me after I turned the wrong way out of the Chicago Theatre Parking lot. The girls sweet talked him (Himm) and the cop let me go and said Happy Birthday. We met up with Greg & Ken and later Harry and family at Elephant & Castle Pub before the show and then stood under the Marquee with Haley and Family and Midnight Band for about a half hour after the show and decided not to join them all for a nightcap about a mile away. I'll post photos & video (which has the nasty Ushers hand on my camera telling me to put it away halfway thru "Moanin'") in the morning after I've had a few hours sleep. It was a wonderful day!!!!

I've never seen her more beautiful, that is an awesome dress. And DAYUM, she turned on some power tonight. Always great to hear some new songs from her. I think she did a fabulous job.

Never saw a bigger smile on Tusk either.

^^ That pic w/ Haley was the only one from my seat that came out, I was just beyond my small digital camera's zoom limt.

Kyle made a huge commitment, buying near front row tickets right away and driving 3 hours after waiting two years to see Haley.

It was only right I introduced him to the family for making such an effort. I wanted him to walk away feeling the investment was worth it. Made me almost as happy as it looked like he was.

Now he not only got a pic with Haley (camera was misbehaving tonight) but with the amazingly, getting more gorgeous every day, Angie.

I told her I have taken many pictures with Haley, Harry and Patti, but not one with Angie. Really glad to have the opportunity and she just looked lights out!!!

I asked if her dress was also Alyce Paris, she said, no, they bought it. I also mentioned that I recently watched the Haleyloonies, where they mentioned her, "15 yr old Angie" she's now 18, has time flown that fast?

Thank you Himm for the great hospitality and Barb and Penny for the Company

Of course, thanks to the always appreciative Reinharts, so fun to watch them share the joy.

LOL, I was so overdressed, I don't get to 'dress up' that often, and hey, this seemed like a good time

When we met Haley outside, as I approached to join the crowd taking pictures of Haley with Harry, like everyone else, she spotted me , "Oh, look who's here" with a big smile, she called me by my name, not once did she call me "Tusk". Made my night

---

I am listening to the live feed, not quite as good as being there, however, the crowd sounds very enthusiastic and engaged with the festivities...can't wait for the videos that are sure to follow.

Unfortunately, they were much more aggressive about this than Carnegie, Himm said he got a lot of it, but wasn't sure the quality, but I had a big ol mitt put over my camera, pushed downwards, when told not to record

---

Here's another Reinhart group pic, we had to take several because the Marquee lights were interfering, so poor Haley had to (graciously) maintain her crouched pose (with a smile ) lol

---

I took a last pic of the Marquee before they took it down, as we left the Reinharts to enjoy the night among family

Haley received a #MyJazzIs award along with other Chicagoans in the show, congratulated by Patti
