:hippie: Bloomberg Drum Circle :hippie:

Word on the street is that Bloomberg loves hippies. So now, finally, a drum circle you don't have to be high to enjoy: this Sunday at 2pm, for 24 hours, bring the love to Mayor Bloomberg's personal townhouse: 17 East 79th Street.

Tie-dye, didgeridoo, hackeysack welcome! No shirt, no shoes, no problem! And if you don't have talent, don't worry: FREE DRUM LESSONS offered! Also on offer: collaborative drumming with the police!

Even though this is a 24-hour drum circle, don't be late! The mayor loves evictions. Who knows what'll happen? But no matter how long it lasts, there'll be an afterparty and love-in in world-famous Central Park just next door.

1. I would love a live stream of that!

:popcorn:

2. Awesome!

[UnrepentantLiberal]

3. I'm pondering showing up.

Somehow I don't think Bloomberg will see the humor in this. There is liable to be some serious head busting.

4. wear a bike helmet and thanks for going

I would be there, but I'm several hundred miles away.

5. "collaborative drumming with the police!"

:rofl:

No Talent? No Worry!

:rofl:

Let the cacophony begin!

6. What a shitty castigation of #OWS which further perpetuates the 'hippie' meme

Have we NOT gotten past this here on DU that the demographics of #OWS is not a reflection of 60's hippie idealism?

8. This is part of OWS

9. Um....

7. I don't want to see a drum circle. I want to see a drum LINE.

Seven or eight snares, five or six tenors, six basses. Tight, clean, and AWFULLY damned loud.

Like these guys (Cadets 2011 drumline, opener, "Between Angels and Demons"):

10. I wonder if OWS could book

... the Top Secret drum corps?

That would be, well, awesome.

12. I'd prefer a DCI line myself, they're generally tighter and cleaner than the "competition" lines

Someone was badly fuzzing that Top Secret line. I heard chakka-chakka-GOT-chakka-chakka-furrrfurfurfur-chakka

[progressoid]

13. That would be too cool.

They would surely be arrested. Look how aggressive they are!

11. play very loudly and very badly - and throw in some bagpipes

Lots of bagpipes. Lots of very loud bagpipes.

We will then find out whether or not Bloomberg believes that loud obnoxious perpetual music really is torture.
