Tomorrow is a really full day; Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles Story, the Beatles Store, then the much anticipated meet at the pub!!! Looking forward to meeting the rest of the gang!! England rocks!!

Yesterday was excellent, excellent, excellent! Loved John's and Paul's houses, and Matthew Street and the Walker and St. George's Hall. Loved meeting Dani, Jillian, Tony and Heidi and even Irene (who had a terrible flight with many delays but did get in about midnight). We had a rowdy party at Jayne's last night. Oof. Today we are meeting Peter, Linda, Irene, Tony, Lisa and going with Jayne, me, the witches and Dani to go to the Casbah and the ferry cross the Mersey. I hope to go to the Beatles museum and the Jacaranda. WOW WOW WOW is all I can say.

Don't know if anyone will read this before the meet tonight....but just wanted to let you know we'll be late in attending. When we were on the Magical Mystery Tour today, they gave out tickets to the premier of the Concert for George...couldn't pass that up! They say Dani Harrison, Yoko, and maybe even Paul will attend. It begins at 8pm and runs close to 2 hrs; so we will hustle down to the pub afterwards (I would imagine you all will still be there...I hope!). |

Fortunately we have a laptop with us so I'm posting a few lines before the concert tonight. The premier for the "Concert for George" was enjoyable; Olivia Harrison, Yoko, and Sir George Martin attended (they were just a few rows behind us). Afterwards we hurried down to the Crown Pub for the meet...had a great although short time meeting everyone! Jayne you are a lovely gal and thank you so much for organizing the pub for us! I very much enjoyed meeting so many of you and when I get home to the states, I'll try to post my pictures sometime this week. For those of you not here....the anticipation is high for tonights concert! It is raining, though :hmm: but we'll just have to wear our raincoats and bring plastic bags!A few of the gang hung out in someone's backyard last night near Anfield and heard the soundcheck....he did about 10 songs but I hope he'll do more. See ya! Edited by Bag O' Nails, Jun 1 2008, 02:20 PM.

I hope you all had a great meet up, I didn't get into Liverpool until 11pm that night. I did manage to quickly meet Dani (and some of her Macca friends) and Matts. What a fantastic gig. He sand 'A Day In The Life' and Penny Lane' and 'Hippy Shake' not to mention 'I'll Follow The Sun' again. Great night. Well done to Dani for getting a Kaiser Chief drum stick! Was great to see so many fans from across the globe in my hotel (I was staying in the Marriott). |

Thank you very much Jayne for arranging the meet-up on Saturday night. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was so nice to meet people who we know on this site. Only fault is time went far too quickly lol. The Crown was a good venue, with plenty of room too move about and right next to Lime Street Station. I wish I knew about the sound check, I'd have gone up there for a listen. Still always Pauls next concert. Thanks everybody for a great evening. I'll remember it for years to come.Jim and Bapsy. |

the meet-up was a great laugh, it was nice to see everyone although it was a bit weird; a virtual world coming to life. I lack social skills so didn't really get to talk much to people, but it was a lovely night, with certain people entertaining us more than usual Jillian drew a fantastic picture for us, somebody should scan it and post it. I know I'm framing mine. I wish I could have stayed longer in Liverpool. The gig was fantastic, I was in the front row, yes I cried this time Peter, but during Drive My Car. I also embarrassed myself on Saturday. I was so sure I'd recognise Rose but when the time came, I didn't. The excuses are the following: - in the picture she posted a while back, she was serious. During the meetup she was a delight and always smiling so I didn't realise it was her when I saw her. - I was knackered from all the travelling and lack of sleep. So yeah, that was a pretty cool night. Thanks Jayne for organising it for us. I just remembered that there was a piece of paper going around and we were writing things for you. I was a bit tipsy by that time, and think I wrote some rubbish. Sorry for that. I also remember that Peter spelled my name with 2 ls. Or was it someone else's name? Anyway, I need some coffee. |

The meet up was soooo much fun!! And I can't even remember the last time I've had such and entertaining Chinesey meal. What a delight. So sorry I was lat to the meet, I felt horrible but I suppose when in Liverpool Paul comes first. I loved meeting everyone and I hope you will all post your photos soon like I will. I can't wait to come back. Jayne, next time I'm first in line for your world.

Aha Lisa made it home. So did the other Lisa finally. I had a dumb flight delay after coming into Philadelphia making my plane into Baltimore 2 hours late. But I collected my luggage and Grace and Pat. We just came back from dinner and Pat is currently putting Grace to bed. I am SO exhausted, or as Jayne would put it, shattered. Thank you so much everyone for everything especially you Jane and your wonderful Alan. I will post more details and stunning photos of stunning people later. Right now I am stumbling blindly into bed. Jayne tell Kristine hello and I miss her and Paula already. And my Strongbow.

Jayne, First of all....THANK YOU for all you did to make the meet-up possible! Even though Joe and I got there late, we had a great time meeting everyone ...I wish we could've been there for the group pic and had more time to visit with everyone longer. Now for the concert...I didn't care for the Zutons; the Kaiser Chiefs weren't too bad...but when Paul came on....well, what can I say? He was AWESOME! I wished he would've sang more Beatles tunes and I get tired of "C Moon" BUT no complaints :$ because the evening was everything I hoped it would be! It stinkin' took us almost 2 hours to get a cab afterwards!!!! We didn't realize that if you didn't call to get your name on a list that you wouldn't be able to get one!! We wandered around Anfield forever...elated and exhausted, we got back to the guesthouse close to 1am...we had to get up at 4am to drive to Heathrow. Needless to say, we made it home but are majorly tired!What a fantastic time we had in the UK!! Truly "one sweet dream came true" for me! |

Too tired to even focus right now on all the details, please forgive me, these last few nights have left me shattered. Will definitely have the full story (or what I can remember of it) tomorrow, and photos!! I did see Audrey when Dani, Olia and I were getting ready to give our tickets for the concert, but never saw from her again. I'm finally here and soooo tired but can't go to sleep I'm just too excited. I still can't believe all the good fortune I've had this past week. Jayne you are a wonderful person. Wish I would have stayed longer...

I love British Airways (even if they did mess up my trip over) on the way home they had Paul at the Electric Proms and a Beatles doco on the inflight entertainment. It was great!! BTW 2 questions about the Electric Proms, what does that mean and (for anyone that was there and close enough to see) what was that dark spot on Paul's shirt? |

Jayne ,what can I say. The weekend was fantastic as was our special treat on Monday. The meet-up was perfect, I only wish we had more time there. It went by so fast I hardly had a chance to talk to everyone. I too was one of the late arrivers because I was one of the lucky ones that made it to the sound check. It was truly a right place, right time moment. Tony and Dani went to Anfield to pick up their tickets while the rest of us ate lunch. We had agreed to meet back at the pub to go "home" and freshen-up before the meet-up. When Dani and Tony arrived back at the pub they said the security guard told them Paul would be there between 6 and 7 for the sound check. A decision was made, on the spot, to go, especially since Dani has been so lucky lately. We decided to forgo freshening up and take this opportunity. We wish you all could have been there because it was cool and we met some really lovely people. Never saw Paul but got to hear him over the wall and it was a blast. Jim it was lovely to meet you and your wife AND EVERYONE!! Edited by iscreamer1, Jun 4 2008, 12:38 PM.

Oh damn I wish I could have gone, after seeing the pictures an hearing (reading) everybody's stories (I WANT MORE!!) .. I wish I was all apart of that fun! I'm very happy for those that could be there, but jealous at the same time, hehe. Hopefully some day i'll make it to Liverpool and maybe someday i'll be able to meet those in England.

I also want to thank everyone who made it to the Crown for the meet-up. It was historic in every sense of the word. I can't express how happy that evening made me. Jayne you outdid yourself, and Alan did too introducing all of us to the magnificent Magners cider. The drink of Strawberry Fields! Peter is in danger of having all the ladies in love with him. I have to thank you dear for my very wonderful tour of St. Georges and the Walker and Matthew Street. I was totally thrilled to be sitting in the Grapes with you and Dani. Photos will soon make their appearance in the photo thread....

Hard to believe Liverpool Sound is all just a memory. I want to say I really enjoyed the meet-up. Everyone who made it was a delight to talk to. Why even Bags was great to meet and if I must say she looks to hot to be a conservative. And for those who were part of the chaos and creation in the back yard got to hear Paul's 90 minute soundcheck I will make available Tommy's and Henry's address. Our hosts with the most wanted a little something from us to remember. Peter in the future keep your pants on. Oh and Jayne, what a fantastic day we had. Thank you for the canal ride, it was the highlight of Liverpool. No scratch that, you were. Well thats all for now, heading out of McDonalds and going back to the hotel. Take care! |

Thank heavens for you that she is legal. Yes our very cultured quality time was lovely, and I just wish there was more of it. Despite your evil remarks about my activities on Paradise Street. I will be kind enough not to mention the sightings of you at the Grafton. |

Oi there is nothing wrong with Barry Manilow, i like his songs not necessarily his voice. the old mans friend wife is a huge fan and either last year or the year before, he took her to Vegas for her birthday. the table was almost on the stage and she got a kiss and a song. |

You were chased around Paradise Street you rapscallion. With good reason. Though I am older (by two weeks :P) Paula said you were 80 and I was 25.

I uploaded that incriminating video to photobucket but Peter might sue if I post it. I had a great time in Liverpool, I really did. To be honest, I was dreading the meetup a little bit because we all have our little dramas online and because I'm shy and unsociable but it was wonderful, I was so pleased. And the concert... well, Paul put on an incredible show. I was so happy, despite being at a distance. It seems my first concert would be hard to beat so I was glad to be able to sit and not wait in the rain like some of you guys (good on you, by the way!) So much fun. I love you all! And shall never have a Chinesey to compare. |

I loved the time I had to speak to you about possums Fiona. It was so good to see you and Andy and what a lovely thing it was to be surrounded by all our friends from Strawberry Fields, all happily chatting and enjoying being together. I wish you all could have been there.

Fiona, I was exactly the same way. So sorry I never formally introduced myself to you, but I am actually a very shy person especially around big groups of people. Could you pm me the video? I promise not to show Peter, I just want to see the starring role I have in it. As for the rain in it again I'll tell you that much, but it was well worth the front row and fab photos. |

My lips are still tingling...

















we are all waiting with aniticipation 
We didn't realize that if you didn't call to get your name on a list that you wouldn't be able to get one!! We wandered around Anfield forever...elated and exhausted, we got back to the guesthouse close to 1am...we had to get up at 4am to drive to Heathrow. Needless to say, we made it home but are majorly tired!
