I have a plot map from 1690 drawn prior to the 1690 Massacre that shows where everyone's home was located. If I can find the link to it, I'll post it. Can't wait for the movie. Woodstock is usually in our weekend travel rotations along with Rosendale. So much creative energy in our NY towns and hamlets. Gary High Falls, NY Jane,

Wonderful to hear that Fonda, NY is named after your ancestors. Cool beans! Also want to let you know that there is another wonderful great Dutch Reformed Church that is in the midst of restoration in Newburgh, NY. It's a few blocks from the Hudson River. If you get a chance, visit the church and then enjoy the Newburgh Waterfront. The outdoor Newburgh Jazz Series is on now until the end of August every Wednesday and Thursday evening from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. Bring friends and chairs to chill out after a long day of filming. Take good care. Valerie Hi, Jane.

I bought a Woodstock T Shirt from Target in Australia years ago and wore it to death. I wore it when I went in to help my sister and her husband when she gave birth to my nephew in 1993. I knew that it was 1969 but never thought about the month or dates much. I looked down at my t shirt at the hospital and realised it was August 15, the day my nephew was born...how cool! Must go there one day. Very cool Jane. I bought a Woodstock T Shirt from Target in Australia years ago and wore it to death.

looking back…i remember when the film Woodstock came out and it seemed important then…and i felt sad about not having been able to go… however going to that kind of event was really a bit more of a blur than anything else for the attendees, where time sort of gets lost in weed and music…not really so much enlightenment as that takes more sober reflection in quietude…this historic event is mostly famous for how many people were there as well as for the rain, muck, and chaos…it represented an idea more so than anything else…the idea of peace and love is still mostly just that…like having a dream…or maybe being part of a dream — when you listen to joni mitchell…

As one of your Biker-Protester extras, it was a pleasure to help add to the authenticity of the film. But geez, if I had known ahead of time that your slight stumble when you climbed up onto the cement bench was not part of the script, I probably would have reacted differently. You scared me for a bit. But no worries...I had ya covered. And you seemed to graciously recover from it by simply sitting down with a humorous smile on your face.
