The whole of the 1930s
Woodstock - Just to make sure it was actually as overhyped by hippies as I think it was
The burning of the library at Alexandria (or the events leading up to it so I could try and avert it)

Either the Battle of Hastings in 1066 or when Saladin captured Jerusalem in 1187.

Ooh, battles, I didn't think about that. Would also like to see Alexander cutting the Gordian Knot, Agincourt and Thermopylae.

My third choice would have been 9/11... but I probably shouldn't post that one. Remind me not to.

Downstairs, upstairs, or up in the air?

Oh, remember not to post about it.

Mmm... I don't know NYC that well, but I'd probably be sitting on the rooftop of a building about 2 blocks away, with binoculars and popcorn.

I mean tissues, not popcorn. Because it was sad. :'( Why did I type popcorn? You're a bad influence on me.
