Have you ever met/spoken to a Beatle?

harleyblues:
it was so much fun I even managed to take a piccie of him on stage while he played....
Hi Harley, Great stories! How many cities have you traveled to see Paul in? You have enough fabulous experiences for a lifetime! Very happy for you. I was reading your account a little too quickly the first time around and I thought you said you "managed to take a piece of him on stage while he played" which sounded a little radical to me but I figured maybe I don't know exactly what's going at these concerts close-up, I'm always at the back.

I've had lots of finger points at concerts.
I'd love to know the reason why (I can think of two good reasons) N.B. I'm assuming you're female
Yes, I'm female, but he had seen the same sign from the floor over and over and over. Paul called me maccascruff at the Red Carpet. Paul does associate the signs and names. The sign that I always used to take said maccascruff hearts Paul. That sign paid off as did the not to Ringo on Yellow Submarine stationary. That encounter was written up by somebody I did not know at the time in Beatlefan.

Cool story !! As a man I'm afraid I don't have your "assets" to attract Paul's attention .... I was thinking of dressing up in a broccoli suit -- do you think that would work?? LOL j/k ... LMK if you have any creative sign ideas MaccaScruff

I am not a young blonde and do not have assets. Just put the sign in his face all over and he gets to know you. Paul knows some of the men who follow him around all over and knows their names. He definitely acknowledges them. Ask Fan on the Run about running in to Paul at Motown. He has a picture with Paul from that encounter. I've never seen anybody so excited at the concert. I don't think he heard the concert. After the concert, he was still talking about Motown.

If you believe that story then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn!
Erik I believe it's a true story.

And that wasn't his first encounter either! I ran into him in 2002 before Paul's concert in Atlanta and he was so excited because he had just seen Macca drive in, stop and sign his "Fans On The Run" poster (he of course showed me) Ran into him last year in Memphis too. And of course we're both doing soundcheck in Atlanta in June.

Wait a minute, we need to separate fact from fiction here. I was all ready to believe Kathryn's story and now because of what Erik said I'm having my doubts too. After all, I fell for the Paul Is Dead rumors (early on anyway), why not this too? .
It's anyone's choice whether they believe it or not but it happened to me. I'm not sure who Harry was. PIcs of his brother before he died, he didn't look like him. PIcs of him earlier, yes, this man did. But still not sure. He was the one doing all the talking

and I had the idea of waiting by that closed museum waiting for Paul myself but decided I wanted to run off and have fun at the WCSX Uncle Bucky party instead with the BackBeats. I see now if I had waited, it might have paid off but I would have missed the fun. So jealous of Fan on the Run. (DOn't forget, he and Paul were wearing similar shirts too)

I have met Paul about 10 times over the years, mainly signings and fan club evetns and i had Ringo give me a thumbs up as well when he arrived fro a concert and i was only person waiting, also met Pete Best & Julian as well

Well if it's true then there's a whole lot more to the story that you are not telling us. The way you wrote it is that you happened to be naked in some random pond and George Harrison just happened to stroll by and talk about the weather. Unless you were at a nudist colony , I found it a bit odd that George and his friend didn't comment on the fact that they happened upon you unclad. And if you were on his property it would seem to me that he wouldn't be so casual about it. Oh do tell the rest of the story

I have never spoken to any of them.

As much as I'd enjoy hearing the hard core version of the story , I think she can keep it so it can be posted here.

Kathryn O:
I met George. I was naked. Skinny dipping in a pond I fence hopped to get into. I was with others but they left me as I dwaddled. two men approached me wearing sunglasses and floppy hats. I recognized George right way. He was standing back and looking off to the side. the first man came right up to me, all talky and friendly in a british accent. Introduced himself as Harry and asked if I had any weed. I handed him my canteen full of water and he said he would be grateful for a swallow. I pointed to George and said, "I know who you are." He looked over at me and replied, "Not fair." "What's not fair?" "You know me. I don't know you." I then said, "Well, I'm Kathryn from Detroit." and he said, "Hello, Kathryn from Detroit." Later, when I met my friends, they asked me if I got caught naked by the people and I said, "You won't believe who one of them was."
What many people don't know is that George went home straightaway that night and wrote these words as he strummed his guitar: "Something in the way she moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way she woos me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how" I do believe Kathryn deserves one of the four prizes listed as her story by far beats any Beatle encounter I've ever heard! Would most of you agree? Why do some folks have all the good fortune, that's what I want to know? With my luck, if I had been in those same circumstances, it wouldn't have been Harry and George, it would have been two cops throwing me in prison for trespassing. You know what's kind of fun....just substitute other names into the story above and the tale takes on a totally different vibe. I mean if you swap out Harry and George for let's say Richard Nixon and Margaret Thatcher, doesn't it just give it a whole new and unexpected spin? On second thought, don't try it. Eeww.

I believe that story Scarlett, I really do, I was there at that nudist colony where Katheryn was naked and met George. I was the guy that could carry a dozen doughnuts AND two Cokes at the same time!!

Yep, that's what a tray was made for. Good thing you thought of it.

Or did I?

Erik in NJ:

You did. There'd be no other way to do it. Only in your imagination. Now let's get back to the subject matter. I don't like dwelling on shortcomings.

I stated we fence hopped. That meant we were trespassing. Yeah, we knew we were but it was the only clean swimming hole in the area. I was told that various folk had gotten a variety of responses from whoever was up in the house from being asked for weed to being asked to leave. Rumors abounded about the place which only added to the intrigue of hopping that fence and going there.
