Time Travel 5

I think a lot about time travel.

Not only if it would ever be actually possible by people that aren't Time Lords/wizards/Doc Brown, but what would we do? What would be the limitations?

Where and when would we go? (We meaning me, and anyone who would use the time machine for harmless but irresponsible fun things)

Naturally, I made a list, as I am wont to do in situations, and I had 10 places/times at first, but I have boiled it down to an essential five.

Here we go.

1. August 15, 1965 at Shea Stadium, which the Beatles played on their second US concert tour. I think it would have been nice to see the Beatles when they were touring/together/alive together, and this concert just seems fabulous. Come on. Look at this and tell me it was a bad concert. Also, my sport-minded brother tells me that Shea Stadium was destroyed a few years ago, so I will also have the  advantage of going to a stadium that doesn't exist anymore and that I know nothing about.
2. The Chicago World's Fair in April 1893, for the primary reasons that I love Chicago very, very much and that they introduced the Ferris Wheel and spray paint at that fair. And it's a fair! In Chicago!
3. Times Square in New York City on December 31, 1999. While I was alive for the new millennium, I was incredibly small and I wish I had remembered something of it, because there are overwhelming odds that I will never see another millennium again. I will also enjoy it more than anyone else alive, because I will be the only person there who knows for sure that Y2K is not true. Unless there are other time travellers there.
4. September 7, 1533, for  the coronation of Queen Elizabeth I. I think she was the best ruler England has ever had (even if there are all of those sketchy rumours about her being William Shakespeare's mother). It would be nice to see the start of that era, especially since I would be able to experience 1500's England and see what England did for coronations in the 1500s.
5. Back to the beginning of this summer, to tell myself to actually do something before I waste three months. So I could do something before school starts in SIX DAYS. (I couldn't think of any interesting explanation for the last one, so I said something stupid instead of the six others I had on the list! Ta-DA!)

The problem with most historical events is that you know how it ends. You could say "JFK assassination" or "first moon landing", but you know what happens. The thrill is sitting there, not knowing what's happening next, instead of standing in the back, rolling your eyes and mouthing "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" along with Neil Armstrong. That's what I realized as I looked over my carefully prepared list.

But perhaps there's a different sort of thrill in hearing the words spoken by the original speaker for the first time in anyone's lives? Maybe there is a thrill in sitting in a theater with people who are finding out that Darth Vader in Luke's father for the first time, even though you have known for practically all of your life?

Hmm.

If you want, tell me your Time Travel 5. Put it in a comment or write a post about it. Whatever floats your boat. I just hope you lot are a hell of a lot more creative than me.
Now I will listen to Explorers 6 for the nineteenth time and then go to bed.
