Yes tomorrow, coming from Nottingham though despite the rail strike.

Re: Lewisohn's Evolver 62: 7-8 October in London
I'm happy for all of you ticket holders.
Too bad it's outside of my 5-mile radius.
But, I have a much better appreciation for Mr. Lewisohn nowadays! I met him at a Los Angeles Beatlefest when he was promoting his Recording Sessions book. He signed my book and answered my questions. I was just thrilled that he was such a perfect person for the job. I think he has contributed a considerable portion of new and genuine excitement into the Beatles Mystique that might have never occurred otherwise. He wasn't just a means to an end...he was every bit the Beatles fan that I was. He has no elitist preconceptions about himself. His work ethic is not compromised and I bet he's done most of the labor for pennies on the dollar. All of this is meant to be a sincere salute to him and all that he still plans to accomplish. Rah! Rah! Rah! I believe him to be my first-round draft pick to replace or succeed Prodigy Giles...for very real logical reasons. But, it's only hypothetical so far. And yet, he is devoted. On par with Giles' father, Mark Lewisohn exhibits a consistent amount of zeal about the group. This amazes me. I want him to realize all of his visions and this will only happen if he can be as happy as we are! If it becomes work...it won't be as good. Lewisohn is a champ and I want him to enjoy The Beatles the way we enjoy them...he deserves it. He has ALL of the skills that we don't have and he knows more about them than...uh, he knows a lot about them. Good luck, Mark. Please don't carry a medicine ball around...ENJOY them. It's a much better high and your work won't be...WORK!
I bet Mark thinks he can finish the job.
Please, understand that The Beatles story will never be finished. If Mark keeps that perspective, then his best is yet to be!
Have fun, everyone. And take a jacket in case there's a stiff breeze!

Edit: When I met him...it's the only time I left a Beatles event EARLY. I couldn't wait to read the book.
I went back on Sunday, only to leave early, AGAIN!

Man, I woulda listened to Justin Bieber for a week for the chance to have been there.

Not just from the side, I spotted about four cameras trained on the stage. I do think he might be planning a release of some sort. If he's not, he's missing a trick. Who here wouldn't pay a fiver or so to access it as an internet stream?
Didn't want to carry his whopping book around with me all day so I bought a bootleg LP and asked him to sign that instead. Was great to meet him.
