Drum Circles
(NOTE: Austin has enacted some bullshit law after the 1st of the year, 2008, stating that if you will have any music, art, performance type event on the street or adjacent area, a permit will be needed.
We were doing dance/drum stuff with Jean-Claude, getting the passer by crowd into it. Then the cops came down and put the kibosch on that.... very sad how un-drum friendly Austin has become.  Please contact the drummer on the ground before venturing out to a drumcircle in Austin.)

FIRST SATURDAY 2nd SUNDAY

This is a beautiful setting in the middle of downtown Austin. 
Help to raise the chord of the day, and lull the moon along its path. 
Under Mopac Freeway bridges and 5th Street intersection.
Bring a friend, bring candles, bring your drum...
Meeting on the New & Full Moon, rain or shine. 8:30 pm
