The whole thing is being put together by a 27-year-old full-time Beatle-maniac named Joe Pope, who spends the year editing a magazine called Strawberry Fields, roaming all over the country searching for Beatle memorabilia, and revving up for the annual convention. A few years ago, Pope had the idea of giving a party for a few of his friends who were heavily into...
