Looks like it's going to be an excellent event this August, with a wide range of guests! :)

Some of us will be going this year, and I'm hoping that more will be able to make it, too.

Here's the link to the information...

I'm going--to see old friends, meet new ones and take in the events. Won't be doing much buying though. I've got enough stuff already. Hope to get Bruce Spizer to autograph his book.

I've never been to Beatlesfest before and it sounds like it will be a lot of fun. It will be great meeting new people and fellow boardies.

Are you planning on buying your tickets in advance? I wonder if I should be buying tickets now.
And in the end...The love you take..Is equal to the love you make.

I get paid every two weeks from my weekly job, and I won't see the "good one" until this coming Friday. Hopefully I can order it then. The problem is though, I'll have to drive way out of my way to pick it up...I don't trust that they'll get it to me. Last time it took them four days to bring it out to me, even after promising that I'd have it on Monday. :hmm:

I went to my first and LAST Beatlefest 2 years ago...bring tons of money because you will need it. It's only a big Beatle sell fest people....There is not a good place to eat near the hotel and the food the hotel offers is crap! If you stay at the hotel, be ready for loud drunken idiots keeping you up all night. If you want to even see or let alone hear the speakers get to the ballroom early. If you sit in the back, the sound is awful...The one only cool thing is that Beatle fans get together under the stairs and have a sing-a-long. I am going to the Toronto Beatlefest instead. Hopefully it would be a big commercial sell out like the one in NJ and Chicago. :angry:

I've been there and know what to expect. I am staying at the hotel and already know to get to the ballroom early to see Peter and Gordon.

I used to go all the time. I am not buying any merchandise. I am going to see old friends, the speakers and make new friends. I'm hoping to go to Toronto also--if my new passport ever arrives.

I'm going all three days and staying at the hotel. I need someone to go to Peter and Gordon with me who is willing to sit while we save seats for the big show.

I don't plan on buying anything, so it doesn't have to be commercial. I will probably walk through the dealer's room, but that doesn't mean I will be buying anything. I do want Bruce Spizer to sign my book.

Send me your food likes and dislikes for the entire day. And if you would like to cook a favorite meal, let me know and I'll have everything here. What are your favorite drinks, i.e., beers, liquors, snacks, sweets........men(??) lol

It's going to be FUN! Anyone up for a stripper? And I don't mean the kind that strips wood!

Linda, What kind of veggie foods do you like? Or veggie burgers, what's a good brand? We'll have lots of veggie stuff, salads, fruit, etc., I'm not much of a drinker because of health issues but I can go for a good margarita or bloody mary still. Pepsi and coke, water, juice in abundance. Gals, send me a PM with what you usually like for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drink preferences. We'll have lots of help between all of us and Diane (Maccasgirl) and my sister Diane and my hubby, and whatever of my kids around........their going to want to check out Mom's online friends. Guess their expecting weirdoes with holes all over their faces, hair sticking out every which way. Maybe we ought to play a joke on them. LOL

Okay I'm back with round 2 of house guest and we had a great time. Even thou I was in bed 1 1/2 of the 5 days they were here swallowing pain pills and crying because my arm was so sore.

You girls need to bring nothing but your sun screen and bathing suits, cameras and cheerful self. I will have all the food and drinks. I'll have to give everyone a call and write down favorite beers, wine, soda, veggie and non veggie. I just need to call my daughter to get me a stripper.

Audrey you are welcome to come join us. Between the house and motor home we have lots of sleeping. YOU don't need to get a hotel.

Can't wait to see everyone. Linda is the only one I haven't met.

Bring your favorite cd's and maybe we can dig out our dart board game buried in the basement.

10 day count down till Betsy, Holly and Mom are here! Whooo Hoooo!

Woo Hoo is right! I leave bright and early on August 11th and will be having a lot of fun on Friday evening and Saturday before I join you all on Sunday.

I've got the camera and film. Do I have to bring a bathing suit? :lol:

Sorry you've been hurting, Judy. Are you feeling better now?

I will be working long hours tomorrow and maybe on Tuesday.

Yes I'm 80% better. I need to change the height of my laptop and change the position of my hands when typing. Okay I need to leave and order my party gifts. TEN DAYS :-) And find some naked men that look good in speedos.

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

You should drive on down, Rose. Judy and I live in the same town and we could work something out. You don't live too far away, do you?

Thanks for inviting me...I WISH I could come there (I live in SE Wisconsin)...but my wedding anniversary is the 16th of August...and we are going out of town that weekend! I've never been to a Beatlefest...and I can't think of having more fun than going with some of the great people from this board! Maybe next time!! :D

Let me know if you're coming to the Fest. I'm meeting some friends (I only actually know one of them) around 9 PM, so I'm free until then. I'm sure you could join us. That is what I'm doing, Diane. I only know the one guy and I will be meeting his friends around 9 PM.

Saturday will be a big day for me.

Judy, when is the stripper? Will I miss it?

OK, Judy -- you MUST be feeling bad. I gave you Rod Stewart in a Speedo, and then I gave you the Mullet family, and not one comment from you!!! :o :o :whistle:

OK, if you insist . . . . . . . . . :whistle:

How's that?? (I just saved you a bundle on a stripper! :D )

((((Bev))) You are too funny! I think I like Rod better in clothes or at least surfer shorts. I hate speedos on anyone including strippers! AND THE MULLET FAMILY, ARE THEY FOR REAL??? DO THEY NOT HAVE PARENTS?????

I spent too much on party favors but it was fun, so forget the stripper. lol The girls will have to get naked. (how scary that can be) But their going to love their favors.

Thank You, Judy...I would LOVE to come and meet you guys and go to my first Beatlefest! But alas, my 26th wedding anniversary is the 16th of August, and we are going out of town on the 11th...and unfortunately that falls on the same weekend as Beatlefest!
But yes, I do live in SE Wisconsin, and next time you all have a get-together, I hope you will invite me again!
I can't wait to hear about your weekend...it sounds like such a fun time!

I hope you guys do have a good time there, but if anyone runs into an asshole named Frank Canino, give him a good kick in the ass for me!!! He's John in one of the Chicago bands.

Boy I do not miss that scene, nope, nope, the backstabbing, girls looking to bag a "Beatle," the lies, the guys who think they're hot sh*t because they play a Beatle, ugh....just disgusting.

Wow, now I know how to get you to call me! :P lol.
No, I cannot make this trip... School starts 8/14 and my little one is starting kindergarten, so I must be here for that. I think I'd like to plan for Abbey Road on the River next year, unless Paul announces a tour! :hyper:

We could all dress up as Beatle ho's....whatever that looks like.

Do you watch Entourage...Sunday night, HBO? Anyway, my son comes over and we have Sunday dinner, and watch it now that Sopranos is on a sabbatical. In the beginning of the show, there's a quick glimpse of the Seventh Veil. Ahhhh...good times in Hollywood!

Haven't seen Entourage yet. . . I'm usually hanging out somewhere on the Food Network on Sunday. :D

I live about 5 minutes from Sunset, up in the hills, and have to drive past the "Veil" almost everyday. :P I've only seen it from the outside. My boyfriend?? Well, that's another story. :wacko:
