If you could have tickets to any event........

[infomama]

Lets say you open your mail tomorrow and inside are tickets to any event past, present or future....where would they take you?

[boolady]

Hmmm. This is a great question. Without thinking about it for hours, I would like my tickets to take me to:

the Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776 during the drafting and passage of the Declaration of Independence

Lincoln's second innauguration

Kennedy innauguration

Obama innauguration

my paternal grandparents' wedding, and the year or so leading up to it-- I always loved hearing my grandmother's stories of their courtship and marriage, told so romantically and set against the backdrop of WWII.

I reserve the right to supplement my answer as the day progresses.

Ooh, Good question. I might have to chime in later too.

The Cubs last world series victory in 1908.



Oprahs My Favorite Things giveaway, does that count? LOL.

[infomama]

There are many but I would have loved to see Secretariat win the 1973 Kentucky Derby.

Woodstock would be fun!

A private Foo Fighters concert in Dave Grohl's garage :jammin:

I would go to The Oscar Awards within the past 10 years and then a really cool after-party.

Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl in 1965

the coronation ceremony for Queen Victoria

A Michael Jackson concert

The building of the Egyptian pyramids. I'd also like to go see the dinosaurs, but not for any specific event.

Oh gosh, the first thing my mind goes to is places I could prevent tragedies (for example: the play Lincoln was watching when he was assassinated).

But barring that, something historians have been wondering about so that I could come back and report on it. Shakespeare at the Globe. Guess I'd pick the one with the "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers" speech (Henry.... V?)

Or, heh, Lillith Fair '98 so I could go & give a stern talking to to the younger version of myself.

eta: yup, Henry V

[maestramommy]

Concert at Disney Hall. Any one.

Showing of Wicked in Boston

Dave Matthews concert back in the day before he was performing in ginormous arenas.
