The first number indicates the popo-year. The second number indicates the day of the year. There are 56 days in each popo-year. In the case that the specific day or year are unknown an XX is inserted in place of the number. Any help that you can offer in detailing this timeline is apprieciated. \\ ---- ===== Popomundo Timeline ===== ==== Year 1 ==== (2003-01-01 -- 2003-02-25) * **01/01:** First Song: "//[[song:It Ain't Easy Being Green]]//" by [[people:Jonas Holtenerberg]]. ==== Year 10 ==== (2004-05-19 -- 2004-07-13) * **10/29:** [[locations:Melbourne]] appears on the map. * **10/55 - 11/5:** the [[popomundo_festivals#popomundo_festival_i|First Popomundo Festival]] is held in New York.
