VISUAL: EXT- A lonely highway, tumbleweeds roll across the upstate New York tarmac. A road sign reads “10 miles to Woodstock.” Suddenly, a VW bus rips past like a bat out of hell, headed down the lonely road. AUDIO: (With volume) Crosby, Still, Nash “Woodstock” begins to play. VISUAL: The shot follows the speeding van from behind, then from the side. Through the passenger side we see a rather odd driver. Not the hippy that is usually at the helm, but instead a middle-aged man, hair slicked back and wearing a nice polo. INT- facing into the car from the front windshield. We see a standard “We are the Millers” type family. Clean cut, all American, and a tad dorky. Mom is in a sensible cardigan, the little boy and little girl in a t-shirt and a dress, and even a golden retriever with a bandana around its neck. The family dances exactly how you might expect a bunch of white people in a car to dance. EXT- The VW Bus screeches into the exit that is marked as “Woodstock” Instead of pulling up to a music festival, however, they pull up to a small cottage. As they get out of the car and unpack, you see two elderly hippies on the front step welcoming them into their home with hugs. Title reads: “The only way to travel to the past” Title reads: “tix2past.com”

Tickets to the past don’t exist, but time travellers do. You need one of those. Someone who was there. Someone who saw it all. We can’t bring you back in time, but there’s a pretty good chance you know someone who can.
