It's incredible to see what can still be done WITHOUT the use of computer animation trickery.
Thanks to Chris for sending it.

Well - fully back online now after a major project in my front room / office that involved redecorating, and changing this
into this
Speaking of fire - it's coming up to the next FIRE party - FIRE VI "Bank holiday extravaganza". Click here for the flyer. Top line up of superb DJ's accompanied by live musicians, special guests, some multi-media stuff, some live fire acts and it's in a new venue - well the same venue but the main part of the club which we are transforming into something unrecognizable for the phenomenon. It's free in, and we are open till 2. A free drink for everyone wearing a DragonDrop shirt!

Wow, it's been 10 days since my last post and quite a fair chunk of things have happened. Our front room / my office looked like a building site for most of the week, due to the fitting of a new fire - packed away PC in dust free area. Oh how I missed ther interweb. Clever of us - fitting a new fire, just as the warm weather kicks in.
Went to see kurb last night, who were cool. A very MOD like band, the had the presence, the had the energy of somone like The Who. Well - stuf to do...

This site is cool. I came across the ideas of wiki about a year ago and liked it. This site is using the concept with great effect. It's a travel guide, where visitors can add to and edit the content as they please. Get your town listed. I've made a start on Harrogate (who knows what it will look like in a few weeks!)

Wow - just been through an amazing site. It's the story of a girl and her motorbike adventures through a region that has stood still for 20 years. The Chernobyl area, and a town Elena, the radiation risking biker calls...

So, as promised, a few snaps and words about the bonkers Easter weekend that's just been.
Friday
Did a gig at Cardinal Sins nightclub for a 21st birthday party. All was going well, we had just set up and sound checked... then a power cut happened. The power was off for about 45 mins, when the manager decided to shut the club after hearing it could be a further 2 hours before it was back online. Hundreds of party people, several artists and gallons of beer all had to think of something else to do. I packed up my kit and loaded the congamobile. Just then (about 11:20) the power came back on - quickly I set up it turned into a really cool party!. drummingtime - 3hours
Saturday
Played at Fluid at Bar Med Harrogate. A very enjoyable evening - played with Dharma, the place got busy and we had a larf. The stage area was busy - as well as me and the DJ, there were a couple of professional dancers. Dharma' set was cool - from funk'd up stuff into house music. Here's a shot of some friends towards the end of the night.. drummingtime - 3.5hours
Sunday
After being blessed with a well needed lie in, I got up and went to Newby Hall to do a drum workshop for loads of kids. I tried to structure things, but then decided that what they really wanted (the kids) was to let off a little steam and thrash some drums, which I encouraged! The parents looked quite happy with the idea (their 'little jonny; would sleep well tonight') Other activities at this bank holiday eggstraveganzza included face painting which Eirene did all of - she painted about 60+ kids faces. There was a treasure trail with loads of friends dressed up as things like red riding hood, troll, the green lady and statue and stuff like that, all giving clues to the next point in the trail. Great day - great feed back - very rewarding thing to be putting a smile on a kids face. drummingtime - 2 hours
On Sunday night, I had a gig at a large pub called Edwards. This was odd but good - I don't think the DJ or the crowd were expecting me, but as it turned out, they seemed to love it to bits and I had some great feedback.drummingtime - 1.25 hours
After that I went up to a part at "the shed" near Ripon. About 30 - 40 people were there, and a full band kit including a drum kit. Some of the regions top musicians were there which lead to a great jam and some great music. Of course - I had to join in. Had a really good session on the kit. Much fun, ended up leaving about 3 ish. Here's a piccy of a friend playing with FIRE huraah. drummingtime - 2 hours
All in all a top weekend with many surprises and a near record weekend to drum ratio weighing in at an 11 hours 45 mins estimate.
The only downside to the weekend was me squishing a rabbit after the shed party. I dedicate this blog to the memory of that very rabbit. RIP bright eyes.

Ant the latest entry onto the DragonDrop Adventure shirt shots page is from Wiggy, who's just been to Brussels. This is him, sporting a shirt, moments before the fountain the locals call "the big one" went off.
