Ladies and gentlemen…

Hello to all you early risers back in California. Nick Nickson and I spent our late morning catching up with The Beatles, Hamburg’s most famous adopted sons. The Beatles essentially got their start in Hamburg, at a couple clubs that are still active today. For those interested, I’ll link to a photo gallery of all the pictures I took at the Beatlemania museum. The bus to the arena will be leaving in about 2 1/2 hours, and a reminder that today’s game will start at 10 a.m. Pacific time.

Beatlemania, in Hamburg
