Went to see about selling some prints of The Ballad of John and Yoko this past weekend at Chicago’s Beatlefest The Fest for Beatles Fans (they had to stop using the name Beatlefest in 2001). Here are a few scenes from the ride down and our arrival to the hotel.

More of my famous Custom Album Art!

Something about the road, it lends itself to my Custom Album Art.

This is especially poignant as Custom Album Art. Note the church!

Getting nearer to Chicago! Here’s the subway:

Entering the City Center, even though we weren’t supposed to. We were supposed to skip the city and go out by O’Hare airport except a member of our party punched “Chicago” into the GPS when he should have punched in Rosemont. Looking for the Hyatt Regency O’Hare hotel, the GPS led us to a parking lot beside a church near downtown.

Custom Album Art!

See the fountain in the middle? That’s the park where Barack Obama had his victory party the night he won the election.

Finally made it to the hotel. A nine hour drive took 13. The Hyatt Regency O’Hare has been doing some cool stuff with the renovations over the last couple of years, although I’m still pissed that they took the pool out.

The view from the balcony

Desperately needing a shower and a nap.

See you down on the convention floor!
