Murray has gone mostly unnoticed inside. Just stepped on our photog’s shoes. (Not in a jerky way. But because he could.)

Murray just got a brief round of applause.

It’s intermission. Murray let out a fist pump during the show when Phil Connors meets Ned Ryerson for the first time.

Now taking selfies and sipping a beer in the lobby. Murray just gave two children junior mints.

The bows are happening. Murray is sobbing from what I can tell. I’m sitting right behind him.

Bill now being mobbed by fans in the theater. He just advised an 11 year old girl on crutches: “Do the rehab.”

Bill Murray being VERY gracious with his time. Staying well after to take pictures with everyone.

This was Bill Murray’s speech to the Groundhog’s Day cast. Stay tuned for the part about the Panama Canal.

I wish it really was Groundhogs Day so I can do this again tomorrow night.

I’m going to sleep now. Thanks for following along. Too early for flapjacks?
