Beatles fans, now is the time to be insanely jealous of me.
*copied and pasted from an IM with Bianca, because I am too lazy to retype it...*
CherryLady1346 (4:29:29 PM): I had to go to Orlando with my parents to see my mom's friend from HS. So we were in the Universal Studios-type-area, the part you don't have to pay to see, and we saw the Hard Rock Cafe... thingie
Parvati08 (4:29:56 PM): Oooh
CherryLady1346 (4:30:13 PM): So, you know how that place is all rock'n'roll nostalgia and such
Parvati08 (4:30:26 PM): Mhmmmmmm.
CherryLady1346 (4:30:49 PM): So, we were walking by it and I noticed a very large bus outside of it...
Parvati08 (4:30:58 PM): o.O
CherryLady1346 (4:31:00 PM): now here's where I have to stop and explain
Parvati08 (4:31:13 PM): Mhm.
CherryLady1346 (4:31:55 PM): The Beatles did this tv-movie thing in 1967 called "Magical Mystery Tour." They piled misc. people and themselves on a bus and drove around England.
CherryLady1346 (4:32:17 PM): So... the large bus outside the cafe thing was THE BUS FROM THE MOVIE.
Parvati08 (4:33:06 PM): The real one?!?!?!?!?!?!
CherryLady1346 (4:33:10 PM): YES!!!!!!!
CherryLady1346 (4:33:15 PM): But wait, there's more
CherryLady1346 (4:33:51 PM): We went inside, and we found out that they have this whole big room full of Beatles stuff.
CherryLady1346 (4:34:02 PM): So we walk up the stairs to the room and we see a brick wall...
Parvati08 (4:34:04 PM): =-O
Parvati08 (4:34:07 PM): You must have been in heaven.
CherryLady1346 (4:34:09 PM): Now lemme explain the brick wall
CherryLady1346 (4:34:42 PM): The Beatles played this club called the Cavern Club. It was like, one of the first places they ever played and they played there A LOT.
CherryLady1346 (4:35:08 PM): So the brick wall was THE BRICKS FROM THE CAVERN CLUB, which was demolished... and then rebuilt in the sixties.
CherryLady1346 (4:35:23 PM): I couldn't speak, words just wouldn't come out
CherryLady1346 (4:35:30 PM): But wait, there's more
Parvati08 (4:35:32 PM): Awww
CherryLady1346 (4:36:57 PM): The doors to the room... ok let me explain again. The Beatles recorded in this place called Abbey Road Studios, which were located at 3 Saville Row. I'll give you three guesses what comes next...
Parvati08 (4:37:24 PM): Er...
Parvati08 (4:37:33 PM): *puzzled look*
CherryLady1346 (4:38:01 PM): The doors to the Beatles room were THE DOORS from 3 Saville Row... with the original DOORKNOB and mail slot.
CherryLady1346 (4:38:19 PM): I got to touch the doorknob that the Beatles touched EVERY DAY FOR YEARS!
Parvati08 (4:38:27 PM): O_O
Parvati08 (4:38:33 PM): Holy mother of God...
Parvati08 (4:38:41 PM): YOU LUCKY ONE, YOU.
CherryLady1346 (4:38:46 PM): I know
CherryLady1346 (4:38:48 PM): I cried
CherryLady1346 (4:39:08 PM): I kissed the bus and the doors when no one was looking
Parvati08 (4:39:15 PM): Awwwww
CherryLady1346 (4:40:25 PM): We took pictures
CherryLady1346 (4:40:50 PM): I cried and squealed and hyperventilated and cried some more
CherryLady1346 (4:41:02 PM): I was hugging the doors, I didn'
CherryLady1346 (4:41:06 PM): t want to let go
Parvati08 (4:41:45 PM): Aw, Grace, I'm so happy for you.
CherryLady1346 (4:41:54 PM): thankee :-)

The doors to 3 Saville Row, along with the doorknob and the mail slot of 3 Saville Row.
