LEE DEWYZE IN MOUNT PROSPECT FOR THE PARADE!!

Ok, so in the comment section in a previous post, I stated that I'd be live-blogging from the Lee DeWyze (is it Dewyze or DeWyze?) hometown parade in Mount Prospect.

I lied.  Well, not intentionally.  But I didn't realize it'd be on a Friday (not a Saturday) and there were some other factors.  There'd be no way for me to get back downtown from MP with all that mayhem in time for Friday night festivities, and, let's face it, this girl has a lot going on.

Anyhow.

Well, Lee has quite a lot going on as well.  And one of the activities on his roster for the day was an interview with the Q101 morning radio show, which is in MY WORK BUILDING.

I think you know where this is going.  I stopped by outside, I took pics on my camera phone (I finally know the purpose of a camera phone), and (hopefully) got my mug on camera for something somewhere (???), and, more importantly, was a mere two feet from LEE DEWYZE.  He seemed very sweet, very laid back and very unaffected by his sudden burst of fame and fandom.  He had a huge smile and said what seemed to be a very sincere, excited 'you guys are great!' to the crowd, took a couple quick pics, said a quick apology for not being able to take more pics, and was ushered off quickly to the next event.

He was great!  I have pictures to prove this event - they will be coming shortly, as soon as I can figure out how to get them off the phone and onto the blog.  Here's hoping for the best....
