By the time we got to Woodstock...
Well the Bob Dylan concert a billion years ago was awesome (besides the RIDICULOUS amount of second-hand smoke from potheads, and that Bob only played 4 songs the audience actually knew XD)
But the trip there really was not cool.
It was supposed to take 1.5 hours but it turned out to be a 9-hour round trip. X___X We kept circling around these creepy-sounding cities: Siko, Mesmir Hill, and Lava. And our family friend who went with us was greeeat; she kept screaming, "THERE'S A COW ON THAT HOUSE! I SEE A PINK ELEPHANT!!" (though, according to her, there really was a cow painted on someone's house and a statue of an elephant, but no one saw any of this O__o)
So it was nearly a 20-hour trip, and it WAS trippy, but yeah totally worth it when Bob finished with Like a Rolling Stone and All Along the Watchtower (in addition to singing Tangled Up In Blue and Highway 61) and then took a bow with his bandmates and before introducing them, said shyly, "You all know me, I'm Robert..." <333 DAWWW BOBBIE <3 Plus, we ate literally right in front of his tour bus without even knowing it XD
A few days later, my family and I returned to Woodstock (a MUCH shorter trip this time) and we saw the Museum at Bethel Woods. Sooo beautiful. I'm convinced that when I retire, I will work there until I die. <3
I also got to RUNNNNNN down the hill to the site of the actual stage and I could just FEEL all the people and the love and just guhhhh. I'll never forget that.
So apparently Long Island is pretty flooded now, but luckily I'm not home, I'm visiting colleges and am near the border of Canada for now. But I had a dream that I was exiled from LJ so I figured it was about time I posted SOMETHING here! XD Been having atrocious hotel/motel experiences this weekend though, so no wi-fi or TV till now and I'm very glad for it! Love you all! see ya soon! <3
