I found some Beatles items I had nearly forgotten about at my parents’ home in Northern Va during the weekend of July 4, 2010.
Included here are some items I mentioned in the previous video, and some items I obtained during the course of last week!

**WHAT’S THE LOGO POSTER WITH THE AUTOGRAPHS?***
The Beatles logo poster as seen at approximately 0:24 was meant to be used for the drumset we used for the Alumni Show at my High School in 1994 (a year after I graduated). The Drama teacher wanted her former students to come back to perform for the school. I chose to reinact the Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, where I, along with my buddies Sean Niehoff (Class of 1993), Joey Canuel (Class of 1992), and senior Grier Hansen (Class of 94) performed “All My Loving. for an audience of friends, a few parents, and a bunch of screaming girls.

We had no time to cut the logo to the shape of the bass drum, however, we autographed the poster afterward.
Sadly, Grier, who played John, suffered a heartattack and died at the age of 25. I thought the poster was long forgotten, but now that it is again in my possession has more sentimental value to me.

***THE ANTHOLOGY I DISPLAY***
My former sister-in-law, during the time of the Anthology’s release, worked as the Assistant Manager of Tape World, and had second dibs on all of the promotional material sent to the store by record companies. She saved this cardboard display (0:32) for me, and as she was leaving work for that afternoon, she was approached by Tony Perkins of FOX News fame (who at the time worked at WDCA Channel 20 in Washington, D.C.) and was offered $50 for it. Sorry Tony. Proof that family comes first. =)
