Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 7]
The Doctor was not at the Danger Shop door when it opened. The noise from the concert stage in the distance and the crowd of hundreds of thousands across six acres filtered out into the hallway. Nearby was a giant mud pit with people careening into it, playing and rolling around and having fun while the music played.
When class was scheduled to start and the doors closed, that was when the Doctor appeared. He wasn't in his usual attire, so it was understandable if some of the students didn't notice him at first. He was hard to miss when he came up to them wearing only shorts and covered from head to toe in mud. "There you all are!" he said, arms spread wide to welcome them. He was obviously pleased to see everyone. "There are two things on this planet that are in abundance and rightly so: music and mud. Marvellous things, and humans are obsessed with both. That's a generalisation. But everyone should love music and mud! This is Woodstock, a concert and festival held in New York in 1969. Were it the real Woodstock, I would be around here somewhere several times over. Time travel is dangerous and you should never show up the same place twice or more in your own personal timeline, unless it's for a really good concert.
But I'm getting off track. I do that. On track. Music and mud, two things that you'll have a better understanding of through experience rather than listening to me. Books on both are in the library if you're interested in their scientific value, but today we're focusing on the cultural experience. I'll be in the mud pit if you need me!"
And with that, the Doctor was off to leap into the mud pit again.
