Here is some birthday news for us Los Angeles fans~

George Harrison's birthday to be celebrated at Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hollywood, CA -- George Harrison will be remembered at a "Public 60th Birthday Celebration" on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at the Beatles Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, located in the Walk of Fame Annex at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

Fans of George Harrison are invited to bring flowers and birthday message cards to place around the star, and to participate in a 60th Birthday Cake-Cutting Ceremony to remember and honor the late legendary singer, songwriter and Beatles member. Live and taped George Harrison and Beatles songs will be played at the event, and fans are invited to perform their own music, poetry and spoken word tributes. Radio host Chris Carter and Beatles historian Michael Quarterman of "Breakfast With the Beatles" will lead the children at the event in lighting the candles and cutting the specially decorated cake. The cake is being donated courtesy of Capitol Records.

George Harrison was born February 25, 1943 in the Hunts Cross area of Liverpool and passed away on November 29, 2001 in Los Angeles after a long bout with cancer.

Following the event, the brthday message cards will be sent to George Harrison's wife Olivia Harrison.

The event is being sponsored by the Alliance for Survival peace and envronmental group. For further information call (310) 399-1000.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a nice chance to bring cards which can be sent along to Olivia. I will be going for sure, so anyone who wants to mail me something to bring, you're welcome to. Just PM me.

For those not in the LA area, or are unable to attend...what are your plans for this year? images/icons/smile.gif Nice opportunity to celebrate George, officially.

The LA celebration sounds like it will be a beautiful tribute. It will be a very emotional day, I am sure.

Grr... I don't think Middle of Nowhere US will be having a celebration. Oh well I'll just have to celebrate by myself as usual.

I'm in Europe...

As for me (well, I'm Catholic), I'll pray for him... that everything's doing good with him... (wherever he is... problaby in Heaven... graemlins/angel2.gif *...) That's all I can do! Maybe our Local Radio (Named "Nostalgia") will air his songs hourly, to remember him!

graemlins/birthday.gif *, George! You're the BEST!

I wish I'd checked in here sooner. I had the day off of school and work, and being that I'm only about 2 hours (give or take depending on traffic) from the LA area I definately could have gone. graemlins/sad3.gif
Hopefully they'll do this again next year. As for me I had my own Georgie celebration today, I rocked out to some of his greatest tunes! graemlins/rocknroll1.gif
We love you George! graemlins/birthday.gif

PaulPrincess...no worries, this is an ANNUAL event for BOTH his passing & b-day. So, actually we do this TWICE a year!!! A splendid time was had by all...ooh...good cake too!!! George...you were so PRAISED & REMEMBERED!!! We even had a heartfelt personal letter/from Olivia & Dhani THANKING all of us for remembering him! Were really trying hard to get George his own STAR on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Knowing George tho...he wouldn't want all this fuss tho...)
