involved in these sort of events.

Last Sunday, the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus - thereafter referred to as the best krewe EVAR - made its debut in New Orleans. Here's how they described themselves:

The Krewe of Chewbacchus is a Carnival Krewe for the most revelrous of Star Wars Freaks, Trekkies, Whovians, Mega-Geeks, Circuit Benders, Cryptozooligists, UFO Conspiracy Theorists, Mad Scientists, and all the rest of Super Nerdom.
We are Bacchanalian Revelry + Sci Fi = BacchanALIENS.
[...] The Chewbacchus parade includes a fleet of UFlambOs, a Bar2D2 float pulled by an X-Wing Fighter bicycle, giant BacchanALIEN and Robot puppets, a 20 ft long Quetzalcoatl Space Dragon, and much much more...

"by December, for the first time in over four years, the boys were 'reuniting' after several months of pursuing their own individual interests."

What is the first time? Reuniting? Pursuing their own interests?

"an homage to the boy's pal, Guinness heir Tara Browne"

which boy?

Great piece Eddie. One interesting item was the strange, bizarre audio piece that the guys decided to put on the very end of the 2nd side of the British release of the vinyl record. It was a weird clip of nonsense that played when the needle stuck in the groove where the record players with auto arm returns would return the needle back to the arm rest. If you didn't have the auto return, you got to hear the clip. If you had the return you wouldn't and would never know about it. Just another clever John & Paul idea. It was not on the U.S. release for some reason but it is on the CD. I read somewhere that when played backwards, the clips sound like the guys singing "We f_ _k like Supermen". I don't think it does personally.

That's a great behind-the-scenes photo from the cover shoot. Paul and George wait impatiently while John smokes a cigarette and Ringo drinks ... perfume?
