Oprah afterparty(Chicago)

[Wooter420]

Went to graph the ledgend Paul Simon the same nite as Oprah's last taping in Chicago. Simon did not sign after his show at The Chicago Theatre. Only 3 of us waiting with 1 item each.
After that disappointment,my BUD & I went over to where the afterparty for Oprah's last taping which was at Four Seasons hotel. No celebs signed on the way in,about 1130pm. Celebs that I saw walk in included Tom Hanks,Aretha Franklin,Stevie Wonder,Kristen Chenoweth,Rascall Flatts,Halle Berry,Alicia Keys,Michael Jordan,Jamie Foxx,Tyrese Gibson,Jerry Seinfeld,Kelsey Grammer,Lars Ulrich(totally random),Carson Kresley,Dakota Fanning,Dr.Oz,Dr.Phil,Suze Orman, Oprah herself & 2011 Mexico Hockey Team member Raul Bravo.
At around 130-2am is when the departures began. Michael Jordan was one of the first out,waiting for his Bentley. Didn't sign 1 thing. !sked us all"don't we have jobs!?" Since it was very late. He was one of the few that waited out in front for the car rather than inside. Next was Jerry Seinfeld. Super fan friendly but didn't sign. Only waved & got into his car. First one to sign outside was Kristen Chenoweth. She sign a couple. Next was Aretha Franklin minutes later. She looked great & signed for a good 5 minutes. Guitar,photos,index cards... A little before 3am,Stevie Wonder's car pulls up to the hotel. His handler(handlers hand over Stevies) helps him sign for about 3 minutes. Records,photos,pick guards,guitar...
After that I had been wiped so my BUD & I take off,and after we do so,9prah comes out and signs for everybody still waiting.
All in all it was a great experience & cool night to see many many celebs in Chicago at once.
Also,Tom Hanks was great with fans at his hotel after the afterparty,signing for everyone that was waiting for him.

Stay High Everyone!
