The First West Coast Beatles Fan Convention
July 17 & 18, 1976 – Seattle, WA

“Here, There, and Everywhere” was the name for the first west coast Beatles fan convention, held at the Seattle Center North Court Rooms . Special guests included Apple house hippie Richard Dilello and early Beatles manager Alan Williams. Ron Furmanek was flown in from New Jersey to show his legendary Beatles collection of 16mm & 35mm films. (Beatles footage on video cassettes didn’t exist at this time!)

The convention attracted fans and dealers from Europe, Canada, and the U.S. In all, more than 2000 people attended the two day show. Admission for both days was $25.00, considered by some to be high at the time – but the convention planning and design was first rate – no expenses were spared. A deluxe advance ticket packet included complete convention information with detailed maps, buttons, a bumper sticker, record price guide, photos, and other items. Students received a 20% discount as well. The convention hours were 10 am to 2:00 am each day, a total of 32 hours. At one point a staff of 40 people were employed, including many volunteers.

Unfortunately, the promoters did not fare too well financially. Although the show grossed more than $30,000, it cost about $55,000 to put it on. Tens of thousands of dollars was spent on advertising, from radio and newspapers to magazines such as Creem and Rolling Stone. Custom business cards and posters were printed as well. Thousands of flyers were made and distributed all over Seattle. Everything was elaborately designed and professionally printed on the best paper stock. A couple of thousand bumper stickers (pictured above) were made and stuck here, there, and everywhere.

Nevertheless, the show was very successful in many other ways. Many of the dealers had stated that it was their best show ever. A limited edition special first pressing of the George Harrison bootleg LP, “Cry for a Shadow” (LP# 2317438) was custom made for the convention and quickly sold out. With over 40 hours of films, plus auctions, live entertainment, live radio broadcasts, the flea market, contests, guest speakers, and much more, the fans had a great time.
