The Beatles record and mix "All Together Now" in one day. Which is cool I guess but not as impressive as having done all of "Baby You're A Rich Man" the day before. No offense.

Salutations, my dearest Mina!
Every day we are apart is a torment, but
New friends come in the form of new clients, namely the Count
Dracula, whose
home rests in the picturesque Carpathians.
Even my visage changes; do you think you would mind a beard?
Lo, one grows, as I have lost my shaving mirror.
Perpetually yours, Jonathan

Count Dracula’s Journal
12 May.— Legal matters. (Mem: Ah, young Harker’s mind! Perhaps I should not kill him for who is quite as intelligent without these walls other than I. Is this the latest fashion these days? Have I done this Mem business correctly?)
Correspondence: A surprise tool that shall help us later.
And of course, must ease my young friend’s companions’ minds lest they muck about trying to find him. He shalt not leave unless it be by my design. I believe he has finally realized his position. I have also instructed him to not go sleeping about the place under pain of not death. Because this all sounds like friendly advice and not in any way threatening. (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ)
[Scribbled in the margins is a questionable crossed out smirk with very pointy teeth.]
How very smart and English of me.
Activate lizard. >°)m~~~∈
[Included in the entry is another crossed out sketch of what may be a lizard if one described a lizard to one who had never seen such a beast. There are some smudged red streaks as if someone attempted to include a dead lizard as “evidence” and then refrained.]
Ahem. As you were. I shall return to the castle shortly.

An old brewery truck was drawn into position at Rockefeller Center on May 12, 1942, as part of a mobile stamp booth campaign.
