captain_slinkyThis year for my Birthday, we're going to WOOTSTOCK!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!
It's easy to draw comparisons between the Geeks of today and the Hippies of the 1960's. A subculture that's always been there, just recently gaining popularity and acceptance in standard culture thanks to major exposure to the general populace through popular music, movies and TV... an entire generation of TRUE members enjoying/fearing/despising the "Posers" who are just in to the movement because it's trendy... we speak a language that our elders just can't understand or accept... it's down right eerie!
So this "Wootstock". It's not our version of "Woodstock" as the name would imply (that would be PAX), but it *is* the equivalent of seeing Janis Joplin jam with Hendrix and The Beatles. It's an opportunity to *be there* for something that right now may not seem like history, but years from now kids in a Space-Coffee Shop will gather around and ask me stuff like "You were really THERE when Molly Lewis got on stage with Paul & Storm in Seattle?" and I'll say "Yup... it was a wild time back then in the early Century..."
