Re: Beatlefest in Chicago August 16th - 18th
I've been to Beatlefests at that same hotel in the past - a great facility! The staff seems to get into the spirit of the weekend, too (the "snack bar" in the lobby is probably the best deal for sandwiches).
There's something going on from morning till past midnight every day of the weekend - there are so many choices, it would take a few years to catch everything.
Great fun - I highly recommend every Beatle fan attend at least once!

Re: Beatlefest in Chicago August 16th - 18th
Me too. Probably friday (for the George benefit) and saturday.
If anyone is intrested in meeting up there...I'm your gal. (I promise I don't bite) I'm tired of dragging so many non-beatle friends to these things.

I'll be there again! We'll have to meet up...I'll be doing the Beatles Sound Alike, Battle of the Beatle Bands, the Art Contest, and hopefully the Trivia Contest.

Re: Beatlefest in Chicago August 16th - 18th
I'll be there. Don't think I'm buying a ticket for Friday, but I'll be hanging out in the lobby....and I'll get a Saturday and Sunday ticket.

I go back so far, I'm in front of me...

I'll be there too as part of Susan's fan fiction panel. Most likely I'll just be there Saturday and Sunday, though.

I'll be there! Possibly, for all three days...if not, then only Saturday and Sunday.

That wasn't the catalog that you got was it? Because I haven't gotten mine yet.
I want to go to Beatlefest in Chicago, I've heard from many people that it is better than the NYC one. But at this rate, I don't think I'll be going there anytime soon unless I find someplace to stay for free, as well as extremely cheap transportation.

Q: Do you like baseball?
