Yeah but people go to church inside of buildings...where not everyone has to hear it. People want to be free to go enjoy beautiful Westcliff without a bunch of horrible wanna be musicians making off time noise because they are "free spirits". We normal people don't like it. Go to SF and be weird
just recently came to santa cruz in my little rv like a week ago...maybe @1st glance...i may like look a "hippy"=bohemian threads, beaming smile w/out the dreads. but i am not big on labels. after reading some of the comments on here, i am seeing lots of -judgement- coming from people on here. i just want 2drum w/ some free spirited folks the way the ancients used to. It is totally ignorant and judgemental to generalize all people who like to play drums to be drug addicts, smelly or useless!

The Raging Grannies know what Life is about. I'm glad The Raging Grannies stood up for the participants of the drum circle. People of the drum circle are good decent people; they only look weird. They're not gathering to cause any trouble. The drum circle people are enjoying the rhythm that binds them.
Drumming is not just for Hippies. Its for everyone. Drumming is a form of music and art that has been a part of every culture since who knows, maybe the beginning of time. I've worked almost all my life, over 40 years, and find drumming to be a spiritual experience. Times have changed people, free your minds. Stop the hate. Peace, Love, and Music - Medicine Road
THAT WAS BULLSHIT WHAT THE GAY Police force did, it was the one thing ppl like the hippes, could enjoy as a get together, its like, if i was an officer and kicked u outta church with millions of christians, u wouldnt like that, SC CAN FUCK THEMSELVES, hippies are creative and more interesting than the normal ppl in SC

when we stand as spiritual group and or make the drum circle mobile then those that oppose will have to step back...may no law be written that take away the right of another to worship and give thankx... a@ every event let there be the joyful noise of the circle... like the lock some where these are oour offerings and our prayers .. giving thankx 4 us all.. peace and more love...

It's time for the community to ask questions about the drum circle. Why do I see so much drug dealing when I'm down there? It's childish too think that they are not bringing in a brutal criminal element into our town when they deal drugs. I say the real community of santa cruz is not these folks.
While I find the gathering harmless I'm sure the people who live in the area as well as the local bossiness owners are tired of seeing and hearing the drums. it sounded like the jungle boat ride at Disneyland. go to a park and play.
Oh the humanity! Kind of reminds me of my last trip to Accra - oh - then again - it really does not remind me of that at all. Those people have nothing in common with us as their problems are life and death and they can actually play the drums for real.
While I don't want to be a struggling homeless person or a rich L.A. kid pretending solidarity while getting my degree, I miss the days when my life was so void of responsibility and understanding of larger issues, that I could spend time/energy stinking about my right to bang on an animal skin once a week in a parking lot, when I am five blocks from the ocean.
Wow..there are some angry people here. I think it is very stupid that cops would do this. I don't see how it would bother anyone except for uptight honkies who are so uncultured that they probably think it is voodoo or something that would corrupt their sheltered children's minds.
By looking at your page I can tell that you are one of those people on the internet who goes around trying to start arguments by typing things that you think might stir up controversy. Are you lonely? In need of some sort of attention? Can you not get it in real life? I don't know...I don't know you.
But...I'm not going to argue with you and give you the joy you seek. So, bye. :)
Apparently you hippies dont read the whole law, you have the right to peacefuly assemble, as long as it doesnt interfere with anyone eleses rights, and it is a right for people to use those parking lots to park their cars and they dont want smelly pot smoking hippies near their car, i know i wouldnt.
You're an idiot and you just screwed up what you said yourself. People have the right to peacefully assemble and they did. They didn't interfere with anyone else's rights as they were not in a parking spot but in a median where people would otherwise never even step foot on.
Well its been many weeks now and despite the obnoxious posters comments here the people took the parking lot back, cops and troll busters lost their little war. Free assembly, the right to use public space, feed people, won. The rest of you lost, so have a latte enema and get over it.
Troll busting supported by the community? Your full of crap. I was attacked by some narrow mined bigots like you while relaxing in San Lorenzo park after work one day just because I had long hair. A homeless friend of mine was almost beaten to death one night because some "troll busters" caught him alone after dark. Fortunately some of the narrow minded fascists were caught and locked up for their actions. Culturalism is first cousin to racism. A**hole.
First of all nobody is homeless, that would imply that everyone gets a home but in America you have to work for it, even if you are a filthy vagrant bum.
Secondly, if a person with a home hangs out with stinky, disgusting, drug addicted bums then they should let the subhuman sleep at their house
That is why they are full of crap
Get the BUMS out of SC by force and close down all the drug shelters
Use boots, billy clubs and fire hoses and get them off the streets and out of the woods!
How sheltered. I'll bet you have never even met a homeless person. You're more than likely like the rest of the idiots who buy into everything you see on TV. If you weren't then maybe you'd have a different perspective.
There is no such thing as a HOME LESS person, stop perpetuating the big lie!
There is the small percentage of mentally ill on the streets that should be cared for by the state
The rest are worthless, lazy, drug addicted BUMS and need to be rounded up, arrested and then put to work on chain gangs until they develop a work ethic
Shut down all of the shelters, cut every cent of funding to the bums and then begin the street sweep though downtown, train tracks, river levees and then the woods
Again, let me just state how sheltered you are and how you have obviously never met anyone who lives on the streets. Not everyone who lives on the streets is there against their will. Some people actually WANT to live on the streets but you wouldn't know that because you obviously live a very bland, unvaried, and sheltered life.
Yes, those people who WANT to live on the streets are called TROLLS and are also drug addicts and it is against the law
There used to be something called Troll Busting in Santa Cruz where in the dark of night the dirtballs get what is coming to them in the form of a steel toe boot and it was very effective
Time to bring back Troll Busting in Santa Cruz and drive out the dirty, disgusting, filthy, drug addicted, criminal BUMS!
It is useless arguing with you because you are so blatantly ignorant that you refuse to believe that things in the real world aren't always as they are portrayed on TV from the comfort of your very sheltered, fearful, and stupid home.
The Redevelopment Agency in Santa Cruz is pushing through a $42 million 5-story parking garage on the spot where the drum circle and the Farmer's Market meet. This police "culture cleansing" is preparatory for that project. Ironically, People Power has documented that the garage is not needed as sufficient parking already exists. Ryan Coonerty remains a big supporter of the garage and the 15-min parking lot trespass law which the SCPD used to evict the drummers.
I just got word the Trash Orchestra will be there. As far as all concerned, as I understand it, no one group is responsible for this protest, rather a community coming together. So come one and come all. If you think that being allowed 15 minutes in a public parking lot breaches your constitutional rights, if you care about Food Not Bombs being able to feed, if you want to rest in your car while your wife shops, if you care about your right to assemble peacefully -- take a stand on wed.
I agree and thanks for the comment. As far as I know, the Raging Grannies and the Trash Orchestra and many others are planing on coming this Wednesday to make another stand like last year. The Draconian laws you speak of are ironically largely drawn up by Council Members who also teach... constitutional law.
When people get together and make something positive, like the Drum Circle which has been around for 20 years, it should be protected. I hope to see you on wed, thanks again!
The Santa Cruz city council thinks they're kissing the downtown business owners' rear when they created the parking lot law so broadly they knew it would have this affect, but it makes Santa Cruz less attractive to many people who spend money on the mall, including me.
Organize events to get the idiot politicians out and someone who'll amend the draconian law in.
