TODAY JULY 17, 1999 I TOOK A TOUR OF THE WOODSTOCK SITE SPONSORED BY WOODSTOCK OFFICIALS. THEY HAD 10 BUSES RUNNING WITH ABOUT 2,000 PEOPLE SHOWING UP FOR THE TOURS. THIS IS WHAT I SAW AND WHAT I ASKED. THIS INFORMATION IS CONFIRMED. NO MATTER WHAT ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL SO HERE GOES.

GATES OPEN UP AT 12 NOON ON THURSDAY JULY 22ND. IT WILL CLOSE AT 12 NOON ON MONDAY THE 26TH.

THE TWO STAGES ARE 2.5 MILES APART. THIS IS TRUE, I SAW IT AND I ASKED THE EXACT DISTANCE. THE EAST STAGE IS WHERE THE MAIN ACTS WILL BE PERFORMING (THE HEAVY BANDS WHERE THE MOSING WILL BE.). IT IS HUGE. YES, THERE IS GRASS IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, NOT CONCRETE. THERE IS A LITTLE DIP IN FRONT OF THE STAGE SO THE PERFORMERS WILL BE ABOUT 10 FEET UP FROM THE GROUND. PARKING ON SITE WILL HOLD ABOUT 60,000 CARS WHICH WILL BE BEHIND THE EAST STAGE. THE PARKING IS ON THE CONCRETE. THE TURNSTILES ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS OF THE ON SITE PARKING. YOU WILL WALK FROM YOUR CAR TO THE TURNSTILES. YOU WILL BE CHECKED AT THE TURNSTILES WITH METAL DETECTORS. YOU CAN BRING IN PLASTIC JUGS OF WATER. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REFILL THEM INSIDE. ONCE YOU ENTER THE SITE YOU WILL HAVE TO WALK TO THE CAMPING AREA WHICH WILL BE ABOUT 1 MILE.

THE CAMPING AREA IS GREAT. IT HAS A MINI CITY SO TO SPEAK. THERE ARE STREETS (ABBEY ROAD ETC.) THAT ARE COVERED WITH WOOD CHIPS. THERE IS NO CONCRETE IN THE CAMPING AREA. THERE ARE TREES AND GRASS. I WAS IMPRESSED.

THERE ARE 2,500 PORT-O-JOHNS. THERE ARE OPEN AIR SHOWERS, SO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

THE BEER COSTS SIX (6) BUCKS ONCE INSIDE.

THE WEST STAGE IS RESERVED FOR THE LESS HEAVY BANDS (JEWEL ETC). THE WEST STAGE IS WHERE THE LOCAL BANDS WILL BE PLAYING ON THURSDAY, THE FIRST DAY.

THE RAVES AND MOVIE THEATRES WILL BE IN SEPARATE HANGARS, ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO STAGES. THE RAVE HANGAR AND MOVIE HANGAR ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. THERE WILL ALSO BE AN ART TENT NEAR THE HANGARS.

THERE WILL BE TEN (10) OFF SITE PARKING AREAS ONCE THE ON SITE LOT FILLS UP. SHUTTLE BUSES WILL TAKE YOU FROM THE OFF SITE LOTS TO ON SITE. OFF SITE LOTS ARE ABOUT 2-5 MILES AWAY, SO NOT VERY FAR.

THERE ARE 2,000 DOCTORS ON HAND WITH 80 HOSPITAL BEDS ON SITE. ALONG WITH A MEDI-VAC HELICOPTER.

THE WOODSTOCK WALL IS VERY COOL.
