Curiouser, and curiouser...my life is. Okay, so bizarre things tend to happen to me. Actually, many bizarre things tend to happen to me, in my following of The Beatles...and Paul. For instance there was the ticket fiasco with the Highline that I was responsible for although accidently...how did I know that the link I posted that said that the show was sold out, would all of a sudden become live a few days before ticket sales. As a result alot of forum members (and friends) benifited...a good thing in my book. Or the time in the Peradventure thread where I had a parody of Star Trek with Paul holding a newspaper reading "Red Sox World Series" with my comment that it must be far in the future...how did I know they would win the world series that year?! Am I responsible? I think so! I do know that I can control the weather...yup, me and a tent guarantees monsoon rain! I can stop a drought anywhere in the world. Although, they would soon be wanting to inflict bodily harm for the following extreme flooding. There are many more bizarrities, those are just a few. Then this weekend! I had the most terrific time ever!!!!!! Most unbelievable!!! I got tickets to the RCMH backdoor tour, only $18.50. I had done the tour before, and it is interesting the history and style and stories. Figuring that maybe we would get a glimse of the stage setup and work going on, it was worth a shot. What is funny is that I bought the tickets...and accidentally put in 11am. They run every half hour from 10 to about 3. When I bought the ticket it came up as 11am, and I didn't notice that there was a drop down menu for the other times. My bestist friends, instead of calling me The Blockhead, that I am, got tickets to do the tour with me. There were some other friends whom I think were probably laughing, as they booked for 1 pm and 2pm. What happens? Our timing could not have been the greatest ever!!!!! As we were going around the tour, you could clearing hear Paul singing..."Jet", "Can't Buy Me Love", some jam we couldn't quite make out, etc. I thought at first it was a recording to check the sound. Anyway, the tour was great, but at one point they let you go into this observation room way at the top of the RCMH, the small room has a huge glass window overlooking the whole place, with HD flatscreens on the walls on both sides of the window. They told us no video or photography. As we walked in, what is on stage?!!!! Paul and Ringo center stage, sharing the same microphone, singing "With A Little Help From My Friends!" OMG!!!! They let us stay about 7-8 minutes I would guess...for the complete song!!! As we were walking out we watched Ringo go up on his drums. Then we were able to hear Paul singing, while Ringo played drums "Cosmically Conscience" a long version, very accapella (unlike the evening version)...it was awesome!!!! We ended our tour, went outside and around the side and at the side door heard "I Saw Her Standing There". The group after us was a school group of teenagers or young college age...as they came out we heard a group of girls screaming, and asked what song they saw, they said they saw Paul sing "Blackbird"...we told them we saw Paul and Ringo, and they almost fainted, they were screaming for us!!! It was the most unbelievable experience of my life, and soooo surreal, if I didn't have my best friends with me I would have sworn I dreamt it or was hallucinating!!! We were all knocked out, and couldn't believe our timing!!!! The luckiest Beatle fans in the world at that moment!!! To see what we saw going on, in an empty venue!!! People would have paid a fortune to witness what we saw for $18.50!!! Just another bizarre peradventure in the world of Podgie. Do strange things happen to me... Podgie (yes, they do!) Monkey 
I remember chatting with you back in 2010 about fashion week and recall how hopeful you were about attending one day. So happy for you, enjoy every minute of your trip!
