		<title>Sun., May 17th&#8212; Two Shows at the World-Famous Cavern Club!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have enjoyed the hospitality of the International Pop Overthrow Festival many times. Started by pop activist/supporter David Bash, and run by Mr. Bash and his fantastic girlfriend/ rockin&#8217; partner Rina Bardfield, the &#8220;I.P.O.&#8221; hosts festivals in numerous cities every year. We&#8217;ve participated in their San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Liverpool shows (as well as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rave Reviews for Cavern Club Shows!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This review from Liverpool Sight and Sound, and the two private blogs I&#8217;ve re-posted below were a great encouragement to us on the road. It made it feel that it was worthwhile to have dragged my friends, who spent their time and money [and often had to do some heavy convincing of the folks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mon., May 18&#8212;the Liverpool Walking Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On our previous two trips to Liverpool, our pal David Summers of Lancaster, UK had given us a walking tour of Liverpool, and now, of course, it&#8217;s a tradition that must be upheld! We started of in the early-morning-almost-drizzle, up through the Dingle, the Empress Pub, Ringo&#8217;s two nearby childhood homes, up through Toxteth, over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tues., May 19th&#8212;shopping in Manchester and The Thirsty Scholar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lauri and I wished to explore some of the neighborhood streets (she&#8217;d found, in a brochure, that there were several record shops in the area). There were record shops, clothes boutiques, etc. on nearby Oldham Street. It was one of those days where, though the sun was peeking through, it looked like it had just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wed., May 20th&#8211; Manchester &amp; the Tiger Lounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our plan today was to go visit the Rylands Library. Lauri&#8217;s great trust in tripadvisor.com always paid off, and this was #1 on their &#8216;things to do in Manchester&#8217; list. We headed out on foot with a little map, and a GPS thing on the phone. As can happen, on the way, we stumbled upon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thurs., May 21&#8211; back to Liverpool &amp; West Derby Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another terrific breakfast at the Abel Hayward (during which, I called the Casbah Club and made a reservation for us to tour late that afternoon) , and then it was good-bye to Manchester. The basic plan was to get back to Liverpool, have a night&#8217;s rest before we had our big day of rehearsing with [...]]]></description>

		<title>a small diversion: A Tribute to The Pineapple!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful element of all three of our overseas tours has been the ever-terrific Pineapple Pub &#38; Hotel. Special thanks to Leland Vander Poel for finding this place for us on our first go-round. It&#8217;s in the Dingle, the neighborhood in which Ringo grew up. There are a few slightly sketchy areas adjacent, but mostly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fri., May 22nd&#8212;Last Day &amp; Show in Liverpool&#8211;Maxi &amp; the Zanzibar!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were several new (and thankfully positive) experiences ahead of us for this, our last day in Liverpool for the tour. In previous trips here, including the two shows we did here last Sunday, all of our shows in Liverpool had been part of David Bash&#8217;s International Pop Overthrow Festival. This was the first time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sat., May 23&#8211;On the Road to London</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, after our best string of shows there yet, it was finally time to leave The North, and our beloved, strange little love of the Pineapple Pub &#038; Hotel. Today we were off for London. Exciting. Ron and Barbara had yet to visit there, and it had been 20+ years since Lauri and I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sun., May 24&#8212; London Tourists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lauri, John, Ron, and I started our day by getting to 221B Baker Street&#8211;home of the illustrious Sherlock Holmes. There is, of course, a museum, and a nice one, all set up as a reproduction of his living quarters with a sort of trophy room of his adventures at the very top. Next, we headed [...]]]></description>
