Taking Advantage of Social Media After an Event Some say Marty should have never gone to the old west or the first two Godfather's were enough but, I disagree. Without them, however, we would never have seen the Doc fall in love or how Michael Corleone...

Taking Advantage of Social Media Before an Event So we all know that Social Media has revolutionized the world. It has changed the way we receive our news, get other’s opinions, and connect with people all over the globe. It has also transformed...
Everywhere I go, I’m always on the look out for Beatles stuff! And on my recent trip to LA and Vegas there was NO exception.
The Beatles star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood was on a little island away from everyone else… well except for Elvis. But he’s ok to share an island with… I suppose.
While we were in Hollywood, we took a trip to the very first Guitar Center. They had their own little Man’s Theater, with famous guitar players hand prints out front.
Like Less Paul and Eric Clapton.
The Guitar Center also had a small museum with signed guitars. I was so close to these but couldn’t touch. To actually own one of these would be a dream come true. I believe the second one is also signed by Paul’s late beloved wife Linda.
When we were in Las Vegas we ate dinner one night at the Hard Rock Cafe. They had several animation cells from Yellow Submarine, one of George’s gold records and as you were leaving the restaurant we saw this oh so famous quote from the Fab Four.
The next night we went to see a Beatles Tribute show. It was in a small venue at the Planet Hollywood Hotel. They were great and I got invited to go up on stage and play the tambourine! It was a great time!!
Maybe next time I go to Vegas I’ll be able to see Love; the Beatles Cirque Du Soleil Show.
The legendary man behind the drums, Ringo Starr of the Beatles, turns the big 70 today on 7/7. Born Richard Starkey, Ringo Starr is still wishing everyone peace and love and hoping people will share that feeling with him on his birthday.
When I was little, Ringo was always my favorite Beatle. Why you may ask? Six year old me would say, “Because he always looks happy and he can twirl his drumsticks.” As good a reason as any I suppose.
So Happy Birthday, to legend that doesn’t look a day over 25. Peace and love Ringo.
As you can see in my headline I am a HUGE Beatles fanatic. I randomly came across this today on IMDB. I’m really surprised I haven’t heard of it before. The release date for the film, in the U.S., is October 8, 2010, one day before John Lennon’s birthday. He would have been 70 years old. Nowhere Boy (I keep wanting to write “man” instead of “boy”) is the directorial feature film debut for Sam Taylor- Wood, an English filmmaker. It’s the story of John Lennon’s beginnings in Liverpool, his struggles with his Aunt and Mother, his infamous meeting with Paul McCartney and the formation of The Quarrymen and their transformation into The Beatles.
While I am super excited to see it, I really hope they do John (we’re on a first name basis) justice. I’m always skeptical of bands/ singers that do Beatles covers or movies made about them. Although, I was blown away by Julie Taymor’sAcross the Universe. That was exceptionally done, except for the creepy Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite Scene; which I guess is ok since it was suppose to represent the psychedelic stage of The Beatles.
Anyway, I digress. I will definitely be there opening night for this one.
