Let's go do our thang out in the beautiful sunshine before it gets too cold. If the weather is cooperative (i.e., no rain, temp. above 60 degrees), I will plop down my pile o' hoops on the "patio" side of the Jefferson Memorial (that is, the side facing the water and the sunshine in late afternoon) at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 30. Because of the proximity of the water, I probably won't be bringing a lot of extra hoops for beginners, lest my hoops end up as fish food. Bring cameras and get your Burner funkwear on! This will be a nice place for photos, especially later in the afternoon (and tourists will probably snap some of us, too).
Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Guerilla Poets are going to be drumming on Monday evening (Oct. 1) in Dupont Circle. They have issued a standing invitation to us hoopers/poisters/troublemakers to come groove to their beats. Contact me if you need more info.
I hope to see you there!

Tue, September 25, 2007 - 8:06 PMIt turns out the Guerilla Poets' drum jam in Dupont is done until next spring. But that doesn't mean we can still gather there and hoop it up!
FYI, there is a drum circle every Sunday afternoon starting around 3:30/4 pm in Malcolm X park. I sometimes go hoop there, but I don't feel the hoop love from the crowd. It's not that they dislike hoopers' presence, but they just don't seem that interested in it (??????).
Good luck in the regatta!
