Santa Cruz Farmer's Market Drum Circle on September 23 2009.
With snapshots taken at various times over the last month or so.

Here's a blurb I wrote for a friend:

I think the time is more than ripe for a linkage between relatively well-to-do UCSC students and local workers and the under/unemployed.

Personally, I suspect that is one of the reasons the city of Santa Cruz tried forcibly breaking up the Drum Circle at the downtown farmers market last year almost causing a riot in the process is in part due to the fact that that circle is a cross-cultural mix of people ranging from Watsonville Chicanos to 'hippies' to UCSC students, to local retired folks and middle class surfers. One of the people in this video spent FIVE YEARS in a British prison for his belief that the world's right to a psychedelic experience trumps international law.

It all seems to transcend economic, as well as cultural boundaries.

One day a few months ago, I saw an older Vietnamese woman with a couple of grandchildren in tow stop, grab a couple of donuts from the free food table and sit on the curb with them watching the spectacle as if she intrinsically understood what was happening here was directly related to HER culture and HER history as well, in this 'liberated' parking lot, a parking lot the city intended to turn into a multi-story 'garage structure' where, any other time, they could cite you for being there for longer than 15 minutes.

  • It was a pleasure to do this!

    Next time I'll remember to 'untag' the music I use (The ability of the 'metadata' to be passed along through the media conversions is spookily astounding) to avoid the media corporation ads.

    Thanks for the uplift!
