Well i havnt gone on any of that vacationing. But my brother has! He want to london. And he (knowing the insane beatle maniac i am) wrote my name on this wall near abbey road studios where everybody writes! I told him to steal the sign for abbey road! but he couldnt get to it i guess?

Reporter: I heard you stole an Abbey Road sign for your brother.

Audience Member: That was you?

Reporter: And you graffitied on a wall.

Your brother: Ahhhh!

Then the police come.

That's so cool! I envy you both.

I would love to go to Liverpool someday, but for now I'm grounded in good ol' Colorado. A trip to New York on John's birthday would also make me a very happy Beatles fan. I just have to get the folks on board...

I can't with any certainly, unfortunately.  It was part of the audio guide and just opposite was the Sgt Pepper room where the title track was playing on loop, and half a life-size Yellow Submarine was immediately to the left of that…so it was difficult to hear and cope with the sensory overload.  I checked with a friend, and even she couldn't recall, though she did remember it saying it was from a film.  (Dunno how – the two motion pictures preceded Revolver, unless it was in Magical Mystery, which I haven't seen.)  I'm stumped, mate.

On the description for the pic of the gravestone for Eleanor Rigby on the first page, you say it was a prop from a film. Could you tell us a bit more about that?

I definitely need to go back to Liverpool. I'm not planning any Beatles-related trips, though I'm seeing Paul live in Cardiff next month. My dad and I have been talking about going to Hamburg at some point - it's a city we've both always wanted to visit, though he doesn't share my love of all ...]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 15:34:20 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/vacation-pictures/#p3309 Yesterday... and today http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/vacation-pictures/#p3309 Haha, yes indeed.  That was in the window of a bakery inside Liverpool Central train station.  As for driving, it's a bit of a long trek by British standards, but yeah...rather lucky.

I'd forgotten about the tattoo pictures.  Do excuse my ankle.

* I'm a sucker for Beatles baked goods.

See if this works:

I'm not sure if it really counts as vacation* but I'll be going to Abbey Road and 3 Savile Row this summer, probably the beginning of June.  Oh, and the Macca gig in Cardiff.

...I have pictures from a weekend I spent in Liverpool in February, if anyone's interested.

*My best mate here is an archaeology grad student; I'm an English lit grad student.  He needs to do research at the British Museum and asked if I would tag along for a weekend.  We're both American(ish for me.  I'm both.), and I know my way around/have plenty still to see, ...]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 09:35:19 +0100
