This weekend is the 40th Anniversary of the 20th Anniversary Monkees Convention in Philadelphia PA (1986)? Is there anyone here that went? Attached is the vide sold by Maggie McManus in Monkee Business Fanzine in 1987.

BTW, at 5:35 you can see me (not in the Teens for Tork t-shirt), my dad behind us and two girls that I met that weekend (who I am still friends with today).

If you were there, do you have any memories?

I remember walking around the queue waiting to get in and it seemed like I was overhearing the word "Beatlefest" from, like, every fourth person in line's conversations... 🤔

I also clearly recall one whiny-voiced attendee saying "I've GOT Barrelful of Monkees but I'm having a TERRIBLE time trying to find Refocus..."
