Daytrippin' takes pride

century! Along with the latest Beatle-related news and
reviews, Daytrippin' Magazine offers rock journalism at its finest
featuring in-depth articles and exclusive interviews of
the people, places and events significant in the "Beatle"
world. Daytrippin' also incorporates a strong fan
presence by featuring heartfelt eyewitness stories of
"Beatle-related" encounters, as well as thoughtful fan

Daytrippin' is an active

Daytrippin'
Magazine: The Official Magazine of Daytrippin'
International Beatles Fan Club
 Launched
in 1997, Daytrippin' proved itself to be the "must-read"
for Beatles fans of all ages. From the start, Daytrippin'
stood out among the array of fan magazines due to its
high-caliber visual and editorial appeal.
Over the years,
Daytrippin' has covered several provocative "Beatle"
subjects including the "Paul is Dead" theory, the life of
Brian Epstein, John Lennon's legacy in Cuba, the behind
the scenes story of the making of the Yellow Submarine
movie, and the life of Heather Mills McCartney to name a
few. For our "Beatles Millennium Poll", we surveyed
Beatle fans from all over the world to vote on their
favorite Beatle music, movies, books and solo
recordings.
Daytrippin' offers music
journalism at its finest by a talented staff of
journalists, writers and photographers who have intimate knowledge of the Beatles
and their history.
From 1997 to 2005,
Daytrippin' was available for purchase at retail stores
all over the world including Tower Records.
Daytrippin' stopped
publishing in print format in 2005 but continues its
exclusive
offering of Beatle articles and
interviews
through its website. Back
issues can be
purchased on-line.
Trina
Yannicos, Editor and
Publisher
Trina Yannicos
is a writer, editor and photographer. She started
Daytrippin' in 1997 to fill the void left by the existing
Beatle fanzines. As a second generation fan, she felt
there needed to be a new magazine for Beatles fans that
combined professional rock journalism with heartfelt fan
stories, presented visually and editorially with a modern
day perspective.
Trina's goal is to keep
the spirit and magic of the Beatles alive now through the
webpages of Daytrippin' by sharing provocative and
intriguing Beatle-ful stories that can't be found
anywhere else. She founded the Daytrippin' International
Beatles Fan Club in 2000. In 2004, she
organized The
Daytrippin' Fan Club
Party to
Celebrate the Beatles 40th Anniversary Coming to the U.S.
In 2002, she designed the Fab
4 NYC Walking Tour of Beatle
sights and in 2007, she co-hosted the
travel DVDs "John
Lennon's New York"
and "Bob Dylan's New York" produced by ArtsMagic Productions. She currently is the
host of the Beatles
Interview Show and Podcast called "Beatle
Talk".

Our musical
guest: The one-man Beatles band (literally): Jan
Owen
Experience Jan's highly
acclaimed one-man 'Fab Fouray' show including songs that
would be challenge enough for a four-piece band, let
alone a solo guitarist. You can look forward to the
entire Abbey Road Medley and most amazingly A Day In The
Life, with Jan simulating the 42-piece orchestral
crescendo on his acoustic guitar-- a truly impressive
performance which has to be seen to be believed. In honor
of Lennon's birthday, Jan will also be performing some
classic Lennon solo songs.
Jan just returned
from Liverpool, England, where he performed 8 shows at
the Cavern Club (and 3 other venues), for International
Beatle Week 2004. Out of hundreds of applicants
worldwide, he was one of only 40 acts chosen to perform
there. And, he'll be playing at the Australian Beatles
Festival in Adelaide next June, and has been invited back
to play Beatle Week 2005 next August as well!
Jan is also a songwriter
and has penned over 40 songs. His CD, "Live in Applehead
Studios, Woodstock, NY", features his most requested
Beatles covers, some great classic songs by the likes of
Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Donovan and Elton John as
well as several of his own excellent compositions. Two
lucky partygoers will each win an autographed copy of
Jan's CD!
