Class was cancelled - due to lack of hustle

1.) Bronwyn, the Diplomat's Wife, just posted on her blog that she is looking for baby clothes and supplies for a hospital she volunteers at. If you have some stuff that isn't getting used in the near future or if you just want to help you can go over to her blog for the info on how to contact her. She lives in Tunis, which is in Tunisia, which is far, far away. But she has an American address so you can let the government pay for half the shipping. Let's help babies!!

2.) My drumming class was cancelled due to lack of interest. Sigh. There were only 3 people signed up and they needed at least 4. So to cheer ourselves up Lindsay and I went to Bert & Rocky's. The night was not a bust.

3.) I'm driving to Phoenix tomorrow. Cynde and I are going to the Pink Martini concert in Tucson. Exotic! The last Pink Martini concert I went to was at the Hollywood Bowl and during their finale they played Bolero and they had stilt walkers and clowns and unicyclists and jugglers dancing on stage while giant balls of fire exploded over the bowl. It may have been the greatest moment of my life. So I don't know how they're going to top it, but my money is on them finding a way.

Ah man, I think you should wait and come to Phoenix in about 3 weeks!

Nice double comments, blogger. Sheesh, sorry about that Rachel.

Sorry to hear about the drumming class. I was ready for some more funny stories. I'll be patient. I am sure there is some other fun class on the horizon.
Have a great time in Phoenix. Say hi to Cynde for me.

Rachel, thanks for the mention! I got several comments from people who want to help. You're the best! But I'm sorry about drumming class. I'm sorry for the funny stories we'll all miss out on.

Yeah, bummer about the class being cancelled. But nice that you get to go to Phoenix and go to a super fun concert. I can't wait to hear about it. If you're ever in town while Sarah's here, we'll do a drum circle at my mom's house. She even has all the equipment.

If you are staying in Phoenix for any length of time, please know that you are always welcome to supper. We will pull out all the stops for you and any friends you may have. We're not much off the beaten path.

E-mail me (stephaniestempinski at yahoo dot com) and I'll get you my phone number.

Glad you're coming here to have fun - the weather has been amazing the last couple of days . . . I hope it stays cool for you.

I just want you to know when I move back to Cali I'm coming to drum circle class then we'll have enough people

I was telling James your drum circle class was canceled because no one signed up beforehand.
He was unsurprised.
He made the point that hippies, (the kind of people interested in drum circles) are not very good at pre-planning (the exception being you and Lindsey, and that one other over-achieving hippie that signed up).
He suggested that you just start a drum circle, and see who wanders over.
Failing that, perhaps leaving a trail of weed and mini bagel pizzas toward the drum circle, and hope for the best.
