 * 6. Describe the music event called Woodstock that occurred in 1969.**

Woodstock was a music festival that was originated in 1969. It was held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Woodstock went on from August 15 - August 18. 1969. Specifically, Woodstock is a three day music festival, that featured over 30 artists/bands, including legendary artists like Santana, Neil Young, and Jimi Hendrix. Woodstock is known for being one of the biggest events that changed the history of rock and roll music forever. Tickets for the event cost $18 in advance and $24 at the gate for all three days. Around 186,000 tickets were sold beforehand and organizers anticipated approximately 200,000 festival-goers would turn up. Unexpectedly, 500,000 people ended up showing up to the huge event. Originally, the three-day concert was scheduled to take place in the 300-acre Mills Industrial park, which is located northeast Middletown, New York. Town officials were assured and were positive that no more then 50,000 would attend. They were obviously wrong because 10 times the amount of people they predicted wouldn't show up, did. Once it finally became clear that the sight that was originally planned for Woodstock to take place was way too small to hold all of the people, the board and Yasgur met with the organizers of the event at a White Lake restaurant, and agreed to rent 600 acres for $75,000. The organizers paid another $25,000 to nearby residents to rent their land. Once again, the organizers of Woodstock told the Bethel, New York authorities that they still expected no more than 50,000 people to show up, which once again was proven wrong on the days of the event. If you thought the people showing up was bad, you'll think it's even worse when I say that the parking was horrible. The parking was horrible because since it was not planned for there to be 500,000 people showing up, there were only so many places for parking, and traffic was backed up over 20 miles with people.

**In The World**
The Berlin Wall was a physical barrier that separated West Berlin from The German Democratic Republic (East Germany), which included East Berlin. The longer inner German Border determined the boundaries of the border between East and West Germany. Both borders came to symbolize the Iron Curtain between Western and Eastern Europe. The Berlin Wall Seperated Western and Eastern Germany for 28 years and 1 day. The construction on the Berlin Wall began on August 13,1961. It was started being dismantled in the late 1989. The Berlin wall was and still is considered a longtime symbol of the Iron Curtain. During the time The Berlin Wall was up, more then 136 people were confirmed killed, by trying to cross the Wall into West Berlin. However, it's claimed that victims' group claims that more than 200 people were killed trying to flee from East to West Berlin. Whoever was to attempt to cross the wall would be shot and killed.

**1. What was significant about the invention of the personal computer?**
====The few things that were significant about the invention of the personal computer are just a few simple things. With computers, if you wanted to look something up or look up any information about something, you wouldn't have to waste gas on going to the library to get the information - you could just look it up on your personal computer, and it's all right there. With the personal computer, it was new to everyone because you were able to talk to people worldwide on this machine, and it was weird to people. Now, it's nothing because everyone does it with Myspace, Xanga, Facebook, Aim, MSN, and Yahoo.====

**2. What were the women wearing? Choose a decade and describe the styles.**
====In The early and late 1980's, Madonna was a big influence on the woman's fashion and what women were wearing. Short skirts over leggings, rubber bracelets, fishnet gloves, hair bows, long layered strings of beads, blacked hair, and headbands were all popular, mostly because it was what Madonna was wearing and most of the teenage girls at the time of course followed and copied the new trend. This trend also includes huge crucifix jewelery, lace gloves, and big belts. in the late 1980's, the short, tight Lycra mini skirt was a popular fashion item for younger women.====

**1. So, how ‘bout dem Packers? Not so good during your parents’ lifetimes, eh? Tell us about it.**
====Since my parents' early lifetimes, the Packers have progressed a lot. Dan Devine was the Packer coach in 1971, and the Packers didn't do well at all. In 1973, the Packers couldn't even win the super bowl because their players and skills weren't as good as they are now. In 1929, Green Bay won the first of three straight national professional football championships, and you'd think that they would've continued to do good. For awhile after,the Packers weren't good at all. Now, the Packers are winning championships, superbowls, and progressing more and more. Even without Brett Farve, The packers are still doing pretty decent.====
