Hmmmm. Let's see.

Yellow Submarine album cover by the Beatles;

The state seal of Virginia;

Time magazine cover of James Beck (Solicitor General for the US in 1923) who's last name happens to be Beck;

Rolling Stones album cover "Exile on Main Street";

Ne (lit up, so it must be "ne-on";

Self portrait of Bob Dylan;

Rolling Stone mag cover of Clapton;

some guy in a "tinfoil hat" holding a book;

and then the number 29.

I haven't a clue! Actually - - - there's nine of them, but they make no sense to me.

I sure wish I could've read it in the original! biglaugh.gif

David,

I added info on the NE sign. And there was a clue in my first post, just not there right now biglaugh.gif

On the image itself, you mean? Because it still looks like a neon sign of the two-letter abbreviation of the chemical element neon (atomic #10) to me.

Hmm...

Yellow Submarine, 10th Beattles album

Exile, 10th Stones album (which has a song called "Sweet Virginia")

Self Portrait, 10th Dylan album

Dylan wrote "Like A Rolling Stone" and I believe the magazine was named after the song.

Pius, 9th successor to Peter

Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or what?

What is common in all of them? None of the clues are contingent on any other.

Pius, 9th successor to Peter [making him 10th in supposed succession]

[Neon's atomic number is 10.]

Bingo!!!

Hard to believe, but GSC celebrates 10 years tomorrow the 20th.

The first clue was a preview to the movie, 10.

The second clue was Yellow Submarine, technically the Beatles 10th album (Based on the British Catalogue)

The third clue was the emblem to Virginia the 10th state admitted to the Union.

The fourth clue was the tenth issue of Time magazine. (and first visual of the number ten)

The fifth clue was the tenth album by The Rolling Stones

The sixth clue was a Neon sign of NE, whose atomic number is 10

The seventh clue was the cover of Bob Dylan's 10th album Self Portrait.

The eighth clue was the cover of the tenth issue of Rolling Stone Magazine

The ninth clue was (and Soul Searcher had it but worded it differently!!) not the ninth successor to Peter, but the 10th pope

The tenth clue was the tenth prime number.

Could the cafe be 10 years old already?

With all those "10's" for clues, I think Krys got it. The back of my GSC tshirt says:

"Midnight has come and gone." www.greasespotcafe.com since April 2000.

Ahhhhhh - - - Paw was posting at the same time. doh.gifbeer.gifspy.gif
