Woodstock Party the Woodstock Music & Art Fair—Also Known As The Woodstock Party The Woodstock Music & Art Fair—also known as the Woodstock Festival or simply Woodstock—was a music festival billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music". It was actually held August 15 – 18, 1969 at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in the town of Bethel, NY located in the Catskills, more than 40 miles away from Woodstock, NY. During the festival, 32 acts performed outdoors before an audience of 400,000 at its peak. It is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history. Rolling Stone listed it as one of the “50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll”. Decorations The guests should wear fashions from the late 1960’s, which would mean cutoffs, tie-dyed shirts, jeans (especially bell-bottoms), sandals and colorful sunglasses. Hair was an important symbol of the “Woodstock Generation”, and folks should be encouraged to “let their freak flags fly” with wigs, flowers, and head scarves. Set the tables with an assortment of solid color tablecloths. Red, yellow, blue, green - the more the better! Then use Woodstock theme tie-dyed paper goods, including plates, cups and napkins. If you're looking to use linen, many linen companies have tie-dyed linens and napkins you can rent for your event. You can use peace necklaces as napkin rings or place settings. Attendees who want to add to their costumes can wear them for the rest of the night! Tie-dyed balloons can be used for centerpieces (and decorating the party room). The walls can be decorated with psychedelic posters, depending on your budget. Replace selected regular light bulbs (where possible) with black light bulbs available through Home Depot, Lowes or Wal-Mart. Food Remembering that Woodstock was an outdoor festival, food should be in keeping with that theme. More than 500,000 hamburgers and hot dogs were consumed on the first day of Woodstock, so those staples should be a natural for any Moose Lodge. Purple Potato Fries Purple Potatoes Olive Oil Kosher Salt Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take each round potato and slice off two sides so that they are lying down flat with a flat top. Slice into 6 sticks by cutting another horizontal line to make two flat rounds stacked on top of each other. Then, three slices across to make 6 sticks (3 on each of the 2 layers). There is no need to peel the potato. You can, however, place them in a bowl of cold water to soak if you want. Do this to all potatoes. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on cookie sheet and into preheated oven for at least 20 – 25 minutes. You will see them brown, sizzle and crisp. Remove when done and place on paper towels to drain. Veggie Platters In keeping with the theme, make sure you have plenty of vegetable platters for each table. Easy to prepare and serve, stick with the basics: baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, celery, sweet peppers and broccoli with simple Ranch dressing, spinach dip or Hummus. Rainbow Fruit Kabobs Fresh fruit on inexpensive wooden skewers in different colors are not only decorative, but tasty! Use pineapple, mandarin oranges, strawberries, grapes, black raspberries, kiwis or other colorful fruit. Make sure you have some sweet fruit dip to go with them. Drinks Flower Power Martini 2 oz. gin ½ oz. dry vermouth ½ oz. St. Germain ¼ oz. Creme de Violette Stir well with ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with strip of orange zest. The Mudslide During the festival, the rains came and went and left behind fields of mud, through which attendees slid. 1 oz. vodka 1 oz. Kahlua 1 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream 1 oz. milk or cream 1 cup ice Chocolate syrup (optional) Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the Mudslide into a martini or hurricane glass. If desired, drizzle with chocolate syrup. Electric Kool-Aid ½ oz. Amaretto ½ oz. Blue Curacao ½ oz. Peach Schnapps ½ oz. melon liqueur ½ oz. cherry brandy Fill with ½ sweet and sour mix and ½ cranberry juice 1 splash grenadine syrup Pour ingredients into a Collins glass filled with ice. Music What more does a Woodstock party need than the soundtrack of the event? You can choose to have you DJ play the soundtrack as is, or skip around with studio cuts of the artists who performed on stage. Activities Set up trivia or party games around the names of performers from the festival. One simple game could just ask the contestants which acts were there. The acts that did perform at Woodstock were Richie Havens, Sweetwater, The Incredible String Band, Bert Sommer, Tim Hardin, Ravi Shankar, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Quill, the Keef Hartley Band, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Santana, Canned Heat, Mountain, Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin with The Kozmic Blues Band, Sly & the Family Stone, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Johnny Winter, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Sha-Na-Na and Jimi Hendrix. You can also hire a face painter to put peace symbols and flowers on the attendees. .

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

Chelsey Hess Research Seminar 2 April 2015 The 1970s Counter-Culture through the Lyrics of Janis Joplin Today’s music tends to have the main goal of entertaining instead of spreading a message; the music created, performed, and shared during the 1970s carried with it ideas and new ways of thinking. People could not only “jam” to the beats created by singers such as Jimmi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin, but they could also connect and identify with the words that they sang; Songs such as “Let It Be” by the Beatles is a prime example of this type of music. The 1970s brought a decade of national malaise in the United States, as well as a young adult backlash to the teachings of their parents. Young Americans were not only consumed with their own life in high school but also with protesting against the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and rejecting the lifestyles that their parents had imbedded in them since birth.

  • Press Quotes
    PRESS QUOTES ASSOCIATED PRESS: Wise words pour forth from Chris Smither – observations and aphorisms, similes and internal rhymes, run-on sentences and concise quips, all in a conversational flow. The careful construction of Smither’s lyrics is a thing of beauty and the bedrock of his bluesy folk music. Smither is an excellent acoustic guitarist and first-rate foot-stomper. NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: [Smither] taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek, unhurried and insistent. And then there's the voice – equal parts gravel and molasses. (I edited a little out) ROLLING STONE: Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs, Smither's roots are as blue as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin' Hopkins in Smither's weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine. MOJO (5 STARS): Hundred Dollar Valentine is a thing of profound beauty; deep, sad, wise songs, allied to perfectly crafted arrangements, from a a man who’s live long enough in darkness to address the big, heavy questions with a lightness of touch. OXFORD AMERICAN It was that rhythmic push-and-pull, that New Orleans sensibility that made Smither stand out NEW YORK TIMES: With a weary, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate. MAVERICK: Cast your mind back to the first time you heard Hank Williams, Big Bill Broonzy or JJ Cale and remember how good it felt.

  • Canal Convergence Events
    Item 23 CITY COUNCIl REPORT Meeting Date: June 27, 2017 General Plan Element: Economic Vitality General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 10821 authorizing a FY 2017/18 Tourism Development Fund operating contingency transfer in the amount of $650,000 to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget for use in supporting the 2018 Canal Convergence events. BACKGROUND It started as an idea, a conversation, a meeting and grew into a partnership between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Public Art and Salt River Project. Many others have since joined, all of whom share in the belief that Public Space conceived upon the nature of what supports us, what keeps us here, what inspires our creativity and enables our growth is the reflection of all that is important for sustaining life in this desert city. Canal Convergence is this idea. Since 2012 it has been a place of engagement, a place where international and local artists come together to celebrate a one of a kind community environment and immersive art experience for all, and a new point of pride for Scottsdale residents and businesses. As Canal Convergence began taking shape, the Tourism Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2013 outlined the importance of creating a destination event during the tourism industry's shoulder season (May through December). Through the Council appointed Tourism Advisory Task Force (TATF) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the city contracted with Webb Management Services to complete a three-phased destination event study. The goal of the study (Webb Report) was to identify events that would: 1.
