    A friend of mine has a framed original of the woodstock festival poster at his house. i’d never read the promotional copy that was written for the event until then, but let me tell you – i almost fell down his stairs upon reading it. man, times were REALLY different.

    here are are my favorite parts…

    under the ‘art show’ header:
    “paintings and sculptures on trees…”
    “would-be artists, ghetto artists and accomplished artists will be glad to discuss the unspoiled splendor of the surroundings, or anything else that might be on your mind…”

    under the ‘crafts bazaar’ header:
    “you’ll love roaming around our bazaar for camp clothes and worn-out shoes”
    “if you like molding clay, stop by one of our workshops and see what you can give and take”

    under the ‘food’ header:
    “there will be dozens of curious food and fruit combinations to experiment with”

    …and the best part, which was the pricing grid:
    “one day $7.00, two days $13.00, three days $18.00″
