Woodstock Revisited: Mosh, Mud, Music By Carolyn Castelli Missing Woodstock was something that Mike Iezzi, who works in Penn States mailroom, always regretted doing. Mike and a friend were well on their way to attending Woodstock in 1969, but they decided to turn around on acount of the traffic. Who would have known that twenty- five years later, at the age of forty- three, his dream of attening Woodstock would come true. Paying two hundred and twenty- five dollars, bus fare included, Mike was on his way of becoming a part of history by attending the 25th Anniversary of Woodstock on August 13th and14th. Whether you're studying or having fun... WET: can be expensive ups Mike's long journey started by having to wait eight hours for a bus to pick him up just to get to the feild where the performers were. But arriving around five- thirty on Thursday Mike and his friend got to camp out right in front of the stage. Mike got to see many of the bands that performed on Friday and some on Saturday. After people started to mosh, he was forced to move or else he would have been trampled on. “People were just throwing each other around, “ he said. “ You really could not enjoy the music after that.” Then the rain came. And with the rain came the mud. “When it started to rain there was 24-HOUR DROP TRE UPS EMPLOYMENT INQUIRY LINE WORKING FOR STUDENTS WHO WORK FOR US. UPS DELIVERS EDUCATION An equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. nothing but chaos,” Mike recalled. “Everthing was so unorganized and unsanitary to begin with. The rain just made it worse.” So Mike and his friend headed to the original spot where Woodstock took place in Beythel. Here they got to enjoy and be a part of what the original Woodstock would have been like. Here there were only around sixty thousand people compared to the three hundred thousand aboutan hour away at Woodstock 94'. ; When asked if it was it all he hoped it would be, Mike expressed disappoinment . “Everything was so commercialized. The price for things like soda, pizza and water were outrageous!” He said that first he had to wait in line to cash in money for Woodstock money in order to buy food. Vendors charged eight dollars for a two liter of Pepsi, eleven for a personal size pizza and three dollars for water. Attenders were forced to buy things because at first they were not allowed to bring in any perishable food. But that sure changed. Security announced they were going to search everyone before entering, but it was so unorganized that people were not being searched. By Saturday there was estimated 100,000 people that did not have tickets but got in somehow. Mike rated the whole event “a four .”It would have been better if I got to stay and actually see the bands that I wanted to.” Even though it was not what he expected, at least he can say that he was there. He was apart of history!
