Thanks Denny. In the original post, the guy put a period at the end of the sentence, which happened to be the web address.  Can you get to this? I will try, but you are closer.  Who knows? Maybe iamaphoney will be there to plant a suitcase!  |

Maybe iamaphoney will be there to plant a suitcase! Well, the La(i)nes just got rid of their car, so a trip to the Meadowlands becomes complicated... I'm not totally opposed to the idea though. The website doesn't have much info on the fest. I need more details before I can commit. In addition, it would be great if more NIR types could make an appearance. Well??? |

Letter B, you've read my mind. I was just thinking about maybe going when I read your post. Sometimes I think that you're a "witch" ( a good one of course ) !  ;D I don't know. That is my birthday month. When exactly is it ? |

Perhaps we can have our own table! (Looks to JoJo...) "Nothing Is Real, Paul Was Replaced" in the middle of hundreds of his fans.. Hmmm... not a good idea I think.. A Beatlefest sounds tempting though, but time will probably be in short supply around that time, and it's far away. |

JoJo, PID people have spoken at a few of these big BEATLES conventions before. I'm sure if someone wanted to table at this; and could comport themselves responsibly; it might could very well be done.
(Ronnie Spector may not be the biggest FAUL fan anyway, with the whole Let It Be / Naked.)
Prospective attendees also note -- the "NYC" fest is in Jersey, which should keep the costs down.

Hey, anyone that wants to, go for it, I defer to anyone who wants to take the lead on this.

It is doable for me. It would probably have to be a family event. My hubby used to work conventions, and he might meet a few of his friends. We'd have to bring Crystal and one of the grown-up kids as she needs someone to sit in the back with her.
That's if my car is up to it. I had a slip, slide & crash the other day. She's been in the shop ever since. My saint of a mechanic is doing his very best to keep the costs down. I didn't want to report it to the insurance after my fiasco with the chinese restaurant last year.

quote from GN elsewhere:  Death Cab in NY? ------------------------------------------------------ It's looking as if I am way too beyond broke to be able to attend the Fest for Beatle Fans on March 27 -29, even though I could get to it if I took the bus to New York.  Sorry guys.  |

No. Are you? I've been (and will be for the foreseeable future) stupidly busy. I'll play some Beatles songs this weekend, though. Promise! |

Unfortunately, I have run out of money, so I won't be there, unless in spirit!
