Ever heard of a drum circle? Apparently everyone else had, apart from me.
Well my awesome friend Jackie took me to one last week, and it was amazing. It's in a bar in the winter, park in the summer, and every takes their African drums, or cowbells, or maracas, or any other kind of percussion, sits in a big ol' circle and just plays together. There's no real leader, no real idea of what's going to happen, just one big drumming jam fest with people dancing in the middle; hippy chicks, middle aged women, guys who look like shy, unassuming college professors, anyone. The vibe is amazing - it felt like the closest I'd ever get to actually existing in the seventies. Some guys are amazing, but I was just happy tapping away quietly on Jackie's djembe (I don't know why but that sounds rude) trying to keep up. It was such a loving atmosphere, in the summer it should be sick!!
Last night we found out The Prodigy are playing T Dot. Last night my flatmate bought us tickets and earned my eternal love. Twelve years a fan and now to see those 'what you don't dare do' people..... sweeeeet!
Parry out.
