Karyn and Sara went to Woodstock 99 while still attending high school. Never having been to a giant festival they did not know what to expect, but the resilience of youth powered surged through them the entire weekend and they survived the fires, assholes, mosh pits, and everything else Woodstock threw at them unscathed. This is a feel good survivor story for sure.
