My wife told me last night that this year is Woodstock's 50 year anniversary (August 15–17, 1969, ran over to August 18) and I was wondering if any of you were conceived during the festival (or even better, AT the festival). Just pure curiosity.

......Wood...........y.................location....

I was born 9 months after Apollo 17 landed on the moon.

Mankind landed on the Moon for the sixth and last time, as the Apollo 17 lunar module Challenger touched down at 1955 GMT at the Taurus-Litrow crater at 1:54 pm Houston time

The 11th and final mission of the United States' Apollo program, and the sixth NASA mission to put men on the moon. Apollo 17’s three-member crew consisted of Commander Eugene Cernan, Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt.

Evans remained in orbit while Cernan and Schmitt spent three days on the lunar surface.

.....so something else landed besides Apollo 17.....??

I was born six months after Woodstock so conception was a bit earlier. My mother did attend Altamont while seven months pregnant with me. I guess that makes it my first concert?!

Dad was coming home from Saigon, flew back through Hawaii on his way home, mom joined him there, and 9 months later I came along.

Still have the hotel receipt...$14/night military rate at a high-rise on the beach.

Nope, I'm a few months too late.

Maybe, but my parents have never been to the East Coast.

I had to work (on Wall Street) during the Woodstock weekend.

would you?
And if the girl were I would you, would you
And would you dare to say let's do the same as they,
I would......would you.............?

No, but I was born nine months to the day after my parents were married.

I'll assume you have continued to be punctual in the rest of your life.

I'm born rather close to 9 months post-Valentines Day. As is one of our kids…

Perhaps the punctuality thing gets inverted from what one would logically infer...

First child is often overdue a bit, often by a week or two...

Nah. Nine months after Pearl Harbor, though.

Was born in Jan 1970, but my folks wouldn't be near those "marijuanos" (Pot Smoking Hippes)!
