For all BEATLES fans:
The next round of Beatles conventions (i.e. Beatlefest '82) are
scheduled as follows:
CHICAGO - Aug. 20-22 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago
NYC - Oct. 29-31 at the New Jersey Meadowlands Hilton
HOUSTON - Nov. 27-28 at the Westin Galleria
This is not meant to be an advertisement for mark lapidos; but I must
admit that he puts on a grade-A show.
Ticket prices are reasonable; but inflation really shows with dealer
tables priced at $140. for all 3 days at Chicago.
It will be interesting to see what desirable items will be for sale
this year, in Chicago anyway. Last year some nice GOLD and PLATINUM
awards exchanged hands for $500. This is remarkable since I recall
that several years ago (1977 ?) they were going for approximately
the same price: $400 - $500. BEWARE of conterfeit GOLD record awards;
they are not that difficult to forge.
I would like to hear from Beatles fans regarding these conventions
or whatever.
