Hi everyone,
If you want to make some noise this Saturday 24th Oct to voice concerns over arguably the biggest natural phenomenon we will ever experience (WHOA! climate change baby!) and the lack of action on behalf of the powers-that-be, then there is a 350.org event at the West End markets, 11-1pm.
350 drums and 350 frisbees is their goal - 350 cause that is the agreed safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere (in parts per million).
It's a pretty ambitious goal and a pretty awesome cause, so I'm heading along. It would be great to have some rhythmically knowledgeable folks there, such as yourselves, to make 350 drums sound less like this and more like this or this or this, especially if you support the cause.
Here is the event page:

and here is a video on the 350 project, a massive global project:
Hope to see peeps there. Volume up, CO2 down!
Will

Good luck to all that participate. Personally I won't even though I support the cause, because of my fear of hippies and more concrete because of baby sitting duties as Nicki is gigging in Noosa.
If anyone wants to borrow any instruments and collect from The Gap please give me a call.
From the events page: "Heaps, and heaps of drums and shakers (congos, djembe, shakers and whatever makes a drumming sound!)"
Good luck to those playing the 'congo'....!
Sorry, Will, I only just read this Saturday evening. So I guess I missed it. :)
Oh Patty, they ended up with 349 drummers and didn't make the 350 because of you not reading the blog on time... now the world will end!
No worries Patty. There were tons of folks there...I didn't realise the drumming was first up so I actually missed the percussion show down! :S
Cheers to the few sambistas that came along!!!
