That is an awesome story Lill! This is why when someone offers you concert tickets you say "yes." Do you recall the performances? Any standouts?

This whole post got me checking YouTube and the web for documentation and articles on it. I see there's quite a few, so that should help the memory. There's a YouTube video of John and Yoko together doing "Give Peace a Chance" at this concert

Original experienced memories? Here's some: It was an all-day thing in an outdoor downtown stadium. There was lots of comraderie. When night fell, I made my way to the front and was there when John and Yoko came on. I most of all remember Yoko in a bag howling through two songs. I remember someone arriving in a helicopter - maybe the Doors. This was towards the end of the evening. When they began "Light My Fire" - there was that kind of 2000-people-oneness that the great concerts create. Now if I had kept a notebook, I'd have more to share.

To the Hubski majority of 18-25 year olds. Keep a notebook with you when you are experiencing extreme life. You will appreciate it in forty years. When you are wondering what you did and not sure how to navigate the masses of tweets, texts, and data; you might still be able to pull out a notebook. Number and date your notebooks. (ha ha, like that's going to happen.) Luckily BLOB_CASTLE is helping people remember how to handwrite with his penpal project!

Heyo! I actually do keep a journal on me at all times. I don't write too much in it unless I'm feeling inspired. In fact, the other day I woke up and had two stanzas of a poem in my mind. Instead of doing the homework I woke up early to finish I ended up writing a poem. I regret nothing.
