For your convenience, I embedded the video here: abbeyrd.blogspot.com/2008/08/chicago-fest-for-beatles-fans.htmlThe listenonline.net site also has a chat board. My embed doesn't. You can, however, get through to the chat room by clicking on the word "fest" just above the red flag. My user name, when I'm there, is "ificandream".

Well, I went -- all three days; spent way too much money The Smithereens were awesome; Patty was charming and Martin did a nice job interviewing her. It was interesting to me, while I was in line anyway, that so many of the men were on their best behavior (hats coming off, etc.) when going to greet her. As for me, I know I'm not the only one who was a big chicken about being in a photo with her. I couldn't do it, and at least one other woman in the line at the same time ran the camera instead of getting in the shot. Billy J. sounded good and looked even better. Fest Chicago this year was a very busy one -- we did not stop to eat on Saturday until after 8:30. The 7th Python -- hope it comes out on DVD sometime.

Thanks for your review, fabdba. One of these days I'll make a fest (I hope!). I know JSD has just got to be so jealous! ;D JCV

I know JSD has just got to be so jealous! Indeed! Work concerns kept me from Pattie, her bathwater and an elopement with her. By all accounts she was gracious, posed for photographs and enjoyed being there. Maybe it is just as well then that we did not encounter each other! I'd have hated all the other fans not getting to meet her because she was smitten with me.
