I think I told you before that my son lived almost across the street from the Veil...boy, did my youngest son love sitting on his big brother's balcony.....

Better than those old issues of National Geographic, eh???



How old is the young'un??

17 now...but back then was 13. He loved Hollywood!

I'm not going to Judy's until Sunday. I am staying at the hotel on Friday and Saturday nights.

They did used to have the Fest in LA. That is where I met Cynthia Lennon and my friend's daughter won the child's art contest and I got to keep some of the prizes in exchange for mailing the ones the kid wanted to her.

Sounds like you have the weekend all planned Linda. Wish I could be there.

Have a great time!

I didn't know the Fest use to be in L.A.

I would say they stopped the LA fest in the mid 90's. The last one I attended was very poorly attended, but my friends and I had a great time. Those were the days when we went to Jersey, Chicago and LA. Paul wasn't touring, so that is how we'd see each other.

Wish I had lived here during those days. At least Paul still has a house here, and I hope to run into him again someday. :)

Well it's almost time for Chicago Beatlesfest. Betsy leaves Saturday for Holly's house. Then Thursday they will be driving up here with Holly's Mom too whom we met in Vegas. Her parents are Beatle fans too. Then my sister Diane and Maccasgirl/Diane who lives a few miles down the road will be here too. Wonder if Paul got my invite? lol

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

I have a BIG favor to ask. I can't make it, too far and daughters 16th b-day on the 13th. Anyway I was looking at these pictures on the site and I saw these oh so cute bookends I would love to have. They are of the boys dressed in white tuxes (as in MMT) going down a staircase. If they are there and nice and not too expensive would somebody pic them up for me. Of course I'll pay for shipping and all that. I would love to have them. I'll trust your opinion as to wether they are crap or not...LOL! Thx I really appreciate them.

You all have a wonderful time. Judy will be a fantastic hostess. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! Can't wait to hear reports and see pics!!!

There's a pic of it at the bottom of this page. I don't know the item number. It may not even be for sale. If it is and you all think it is nice, if you could get the sellers contact for me that would be fantastic. Have fun!!

I`m sooooooooooooooooo excited. In a few minutes I`ll be leaving for the airport. First off a few days with Holly in the lovely state of Wisconsin and then on Thursday we trek on down to Judys. Woo hoo here I come.

Remember, rumors abound about a serial killer that lurks in the backwoods of Northern Wisconsin with a penchant for chain saws and drives a Chevy Avalanche. So if I am not back here posting on the board by August 15th alert the authorities. :P :D

Oh I wish I was going. The plane tickets are too expensive for me. It seems like everytime I TRY to save up for something something else gets in the way. I hope you all have a good time, I'm soooo jealous.
I've been to a Beatlesfest type thing in Toronto once (I think it was called Beatlerama or something), and I had a good time. I met George Harrison's sister, Ruth and almost got run over by Cynthia Lennon when she was late for a lecture. (not run down by a car, I mean she was running to a theater and she almost knocked into me and my friend). Someday, That's the year I got a video tape of James Paul McCartney, which is the TV special Paul made in the early 70s.

Bev, the picture is on the first page of the 2005 Chicago Fest pictures. It's in the bottom row, second from the right.

Molly, if you met somebody named Ruth, that would be Ruth McCartney, who says she is Paul's sister. Her mother married Paul's father, Jim, and she's made a living off the name even though I don't believe Ruth and Paul have had much of a relationship since Jim McCartney passed away.

If you met George Harrison's sister, who also has made a living from the Harrison name, that would be Louise.

Louise, Ruth and Cyn have all appeared at Beatles Conventions. I've met Louise and Cynthia. Cynthia was a classy woman.

I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!
Got to Hollys safe and sound on Saturday afternoon. We ate at Red Lobster on the way home from the airport. Then we went out to a couple of her favorite bars that night. Thank God she had me with her otherwise she would have had to drink all the alcohol all by herself. It was a dirty job but somebody had to do it.

Sunday we did movie day all day at her house. I now have a new purpose in life. Sleep on her couch evertime I get on it. Another dirty job, but I dutifully accept the challenge.

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand

I have a Yellow Sub lava lamp, Jayne. It's the one pictured on the Beatlefest website. I paid about $100 US for it. I wonder if they have to import this one to the UK. :o :unsure:

You lucky thing :boogie: I don't know Linda about importing but I'll find out tomorrow when I'm heading for the shop in my lunch-break :devil:

I'm still observing one on a site at the mo and upto now (with a few hours left) it would cost me $78 dollars (inc. shipping costs) :) thats half the price they are offering over here :o

Exactly, Jayne. They are selling them for a lower price than I paid for mine maybe five years ago when they first came out. I had two. One was the one you pictured, but my cats knocked it off and broke it. :(

I've been so engrossed with my coursework, the bidding ended with my lamp and I totally forgot :( :( :(

nobody bidded for it so maybe it may come back up (fingers crossed) - or should I just email the buyer :unsure: - its going for loads cheaper than it sells over here :( :(

Jayne, contact the buyer and make them an offer. I'd hazard a guess they'd take you up on it even if the auction has ended.

Thanks, Molly. I've got so many people I am going to meet this weekend. Some I have met before and some I will be meeting for the first time. I won't be going to Judy's until Sunday.

to all my friends going this weekend, have such a great time that i turn green with envy. Linda thank you for the kind offer, you have always been a wonderful friend to me, Judy, as i have told you before, you are way too generous. i do however plan on making it to chicago someday and seeing that second story.
all you guys have fun, stay out of trouble, take lots of photos and create those special moments that no one tells about and no one ever forgets.............and dont forget to feel a little pity for those of us not there, not alot, but a little...

Okay, I've finally narrowed down when I'm going in to the Fest. My daughter that's going with me is working Friday night so we're going in for the day on Saturday.

I just hope to get back in time for any festivities at Judy's house! I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody :D

Audrey, I will tell you all about it in a PM when I return. :lol: Even those things that shouldn't be told.

Diane, you have my number. Do make contact with me Saturday or call the hotel before you leave. I will PM you with my last name. I go to Judy's on Sunday, so I better see you then, too.

Yes, the saying is What Happens at the Fest, Stays at the Fest. We will share what can publicly be shared.

I'll be singing with some friends on Saturday somewhere at the hotel and tomorrow at this time, I will be in the hotel bar with the friend who went to the Concert for George with me.
