Woodstock 99

Upon reaching the complex you cannot miss the 10’ high wall, painted into a giant mural surrounding the entire grounds. The mural portrays everything in our generation from the Coco Cola Polar Bear to Austin Powers. And from generations past things as The Who’s

. . .
To the north there is an airplane hanger that has been turned into an enormous cinema playing independent films such as Dead Alive and Hollywood blockbuster Pulp Fiction by independent movie director Quentin Tarantino. After you have found your way thought the maze of te!

nts covering miles of ground you will find a dirt road leading you to the main area of the complex, otherwise known as the main runways of Griffis Air force Base. But it’s all in fun and there is no real attempt by anyone to hurt another person. Which would soon be nothing more then a giant sea of every color, shape and size of tent that you can imagine. And all along the runway you could find hundreds of booths selling everything !

from hemp necklaces to patches to drug paraphernalia. If you we’re to walk over to either of the stages during any of the many musical performances that weekend you would have seen tens of thousands of people all fighting to get as close to the stage as possible. Then you move to the area of the crowd closest to the stage where there is nothing but people packed in next to people with no room at all to move but the fans still scream for the artist on stage and enjoy the show. First starting off with the relaxed fans sitting down listening to the artist, then as you walk deeper into the crowd you find that the fans are all standing up somewhat close together but yet with room for comfort and movement. As you walk thought the crowd starting at the back you go through a variety of different atmospheres. And now after hours of watching all the different artist perform its time to make the 10 minutes walk back to the camping area and wonder through the dark trying to find your tent while trying to ignore the awful stench of the Porto potties located only a couple yards from the camping areas. In the center of the runway you could have found an area fenced in with professional skateboarders, inline skaters and stunt bicyclist performing many tricks on half pipes and other types of courses.
