What's the story? I would've guessed they'd hightailed it back to homebase of NYC. Were they at the Doubletree across the street?

First off concert was awesome. Ive got a ton of pics and videos ill share tomorrow. Just i work early so can't right now. Me typing my story is pushing it.

During the encore at the end of Little By Little i tugged my friend who i took with me by the shirt and said follow me. Walked out into the hall way popped open a door and walked down some steps. When i got to the bottom of the steps there was another door and the balcony closest to the stage to my right. I tried to open the door at the bottom of the steps and it was locked. I was like Fuck! We turned around and headed back up the steps then i saw which was really wasy to miss a door that i have no other way to describe but a hidden door at the top of the steps. I opened it. It was dark. We both went up the steps and found our selves at the top of the venue where the lighting was at looking down on the stage. Dead end though no where to get back stage. After spending a minute or two up there i decided it was not happening. My only hope to get back stage was behind the locked door. We then went down stairs and were on the bottom floor of the venue. Coming out of the stair well was an exit. This would have been at the far rear of the building around the same area as the stage. We started to walk past it then something told me to go out it. We went out it and were in an alley outside. The alley had steps that went to the roof of the venue. Started climbing the steps. Got to the top and we were on a roof attached to the venue. On the roof there was a small porch with steps and a door. Went up tried the door and it was locked. It was cracked open so i could see in side. Just an old sofa and ply wood for walls. My friend and i sat on the roof and admired Philly while having a smoke for a few mins. Then someone came up to the roof. Saw us did not say anything and left. After a few mins we went back down the steps and were in the alley way. At that point i could hear everyone getting loud leaving the venue and was like well it's not happening. Then i looked over to my right and saw Noel, Mike and some roadies leaning up against a wall. I told my friend to keep his mouth shut and follow my lead. From there i simply walked up and said hello mind if we join you guys. Noel kind of laughed and said sure. Everyone else nodded and agreed. From there i did not want to be the moron fan and creep Noel and be like OMG it's Noel Gallagher so i sat on the door step and we all went back and forth about Man City vs Man U., made fun of one of the roadies and smoked some cigs. The whole time i noticed who i was purposly ignoring just so he did not feel uncomfortable Noel just watching me and my friend intently. I let it go on a few minutes while Mike one of the roadies and i just went back and forth then looked over at Noel who was highly amused by my friend and i. He was just watching us with huge smile laughing and having fun. As soon as i looked up at him he looked away though. It was kind of an i caught you moment. From there things got quiet and my friend asked Noel if he could shake his hand. Noel starts laugh and says yes. My friend then says "im not gonna presure you and ask for a picture or anything Noel" then i popped up pointed to my self and said " Well i sure as fuck am." Noel started laughing his ass off and was like awesome lets do it. I made sure to stand a foot or two away from Noel not to weird him out but he litterally came right up next to me as if i were in the band for a photo shoot. Boom friend took the picture. It was lighted very well so there was no flash. I went over to see if the picture came out ok looked at Noel and said its good. His exact words were "Yes no flash!". My camera's flash was down. Apparently Noel does not like camera flashes for anyone who meets him in the future. From there we all sat joked and listened to the roadies go back and forth for about 20 mins until another fan found there way over. Noel took a picture with the fan. Looked over at my friend and i and waved then went back in the venue. Everyone else went back in the other fan left and my friend and i sat there. I ran over and ill admit i picked up Noels ciggerette butt and kept it. A few mins later Mike came out and went back and forth with us about Man city win. Told us all about the first gig of the tour which was right after the match and Mike and i went back a forth about the geography of the USA in relation to England. Apparently England is more in line with Canada then the US. After about 20 minutes of this security came up and asked if we were with Mike. Mike was cool as hell and did not say no but to kind of make things easier i said no we are not we should probably go. Shook hands with Mike Thanked him and left.

The only reason why i think we pulled this off is because we did not go nuts when we saw Noel. We simply walked up asked to join the conversation and had a cig. Noel was drinking water and did not look like he had one drink all night.

I thought it was funny how for about twenty minutes he just sat and watched my friend and i with out saying anything. He was not mad but i felt as if he was happy to fans came up and just treated him like a human being.

Well guys im off to bed. Ill post all my pics tomorrow about 500 to go through. Some video. I kow i got all of freaky teeth.
