Stupid Busses

I'm back from another Beatle-fest and it went great except for some mishaps with the NJ Transit. I managed to miss a few busses, get on wrong busses, make a few unplanned transfers and wait in the cold for about an hour until midnight for a bus that never came. Because of my bus issues I missed the deadline to enter my poster into the art contest. I never got a print I was truly happy with anyways, but there wasn't really anything worthwhile in the whole "contest" thing anyways, nothing that I would call art. There is still a lot I have to learn about the intricacies of screen printing, but I guess the more I do it, the easier it will get. Back to the fest, I did get to meet, however briefly Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's first wife and the muse behind some great songs. There was quite a rush over her book signing and I ended up having to wait a really long time to do it. I met some really nice people from New Jersey though and talking to them made the time go by a lot faster. I ended up giving them the poster I brought too, so it didn't completely go to waste.

I made a last minute t-shirt from one of my poster screens that turned out really cool. It was very spur of the moment, I just searched my closet for a blank shirt, found one and tried to print on it right off. I think I will make some more of them and try and sell some on my eventual etsy shop. I also bought an actual replica bronze badge to go with my Shea jacket, from the same people star bought my jacket from (beatlesuits.com). There was also tons and tons of stuff that I would love to have but probably can't ever afford. There are original Beatles ticket stubs, including some from Shea stadium, which go for about $300-$2000, and of course the holy grail of Beatle items original autographs which I heard one went on auction there for $2600 but in the marketplace they were about $15,000 all the way up to $46,000. That is just nuts.
