IMPORTANT NEW PARKING INFO:

    The staff of the Abundant Life Church has asked us - quite firmly - NOT
    to use their parking lot on the SE corner of Haverhill and Belvedere.  If
    you park there, you risk getting towed away.

    Instead, you can park in the lot of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church,
    kitty-corner from the Abundant Life Church, on the NW corner of that
    same intersection, and still just a 3-minute walk to our house (we are
    1/2 block east).

    You can also continue to park on the wide, grassy shoulders of Concord
    (the next street east of Park Ln., running north off Belvedere).  Please
    angle park (pull in nose first onto the grass) - do NOT parallel park!

Enjoy 4 Great Events Rolled Into 1!

(1) BONFIRE TRIBAL DRUMMING & DANCING CIRCLE
     9pm-midnight

Held outside - around the fire circle
• 9:00pm: brief drum lesson to get the drumming started
• 9:00pm-midnight: Community drum circle
  (Out of respect for our neighbors we stop outside noise
  at midnight - and move the festivities inside.)

• DRUM JAM: GREAT LIVE RHYTHMS - African, Latin, Middle-
  Eastern, Native American, World, Tribal ... start any rhythm
  that you'd like the group to play.
• RADIANT DANCERS - bellydancers, free-form dancers, con-
  tact dancers, trance-dancers.  Enjoy a loving, appreciative
  atmosphere in which to let the rhythms move you!
• PERFORMERS - we welcome fire-performers, poi-twirlers, etc.
• PROFESSIONAL BODY PAINTER - we are blessed by Carl
  Flick's presence.  His work (body painting & photography) is
  beautiful!  Please visit his website below.  If you'd like to ex-
  perience being painted, he can design a session at our party
  that pampers your 'exhibitionist' tendencies & yet respects
  your 'exposure limits'.  You can be as revealing or covered
  as you wish.  He's available for private work, parties, events.

PARKING

1. 1st 30 cars - park in our front & back yards (on the grass).
    If you know you're staying late, please pull forward & let
    someone park behind you.
    Please do not park in either driveway - leave that free for
    people to get in and out of the parking spaces (on the grass).

2. After our yard is full, do not park on our street (Park Ln.)
    The neighbors have been complaining to the City.  The street
    is not wide enough for 2-way traffic when cars are parked on
    the street.  To continue having the drum circle parties, we
    promised the City the following parking changes:

3. First, drop off heavy objects (drums, food, etc.) - temporarily
    pull into our concrete driveway (marked with "loading zone"
    signs).

4. Then move your car out of the loading zone & park:

    a. 1st - park on both the east & west sides of Concord (the
        next street east of Park Ln., runs north off Belvedere Rd.)
        This area holds 30 cars if we angle-park (nose in).

    b. 2nd - park on the south side of Charlotte (the 1st street
        intersecting Concord north of Belvedere).  Don't park in
        front of the homes on the north side. 
        This area holds 22 cars if we angle-park (nose in).

    c. On both of these streets -
       • Park on wide grass shoulders - not on the pavement. 
         That way you won't impede 2-way traffic.
       • Adjacent to the grass shoulders there are no homes to be
         bothered.  Don't park in front of any homes.
       • Angle park (pull in nose first) - do not parallel park.
       • It's a 3-minute walk to our home - shorter than parking
         way down our street (Park Ln.) as many people often had
         to in the past.  Plus the walk is safe & well-lit.

    d. When both those streets are full, park in the parking lot
        of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church on the NW cor-
        ner of Belvedere Rd. and Haverhill Rd., 1/2 city block
        west of our street (Park Ln.).  Please do NOT use the
        parking lot of the Abundant Life Church on the SE cor-
        ner of that same intersection.  If you park there, you
        risk getting towed away!

5. Of course, when parking anywhere, be smart - don't leave
    valuables sitting in plain view - hide them.

6. Please don't pull into any neighbors' driveways or yards
    to turn around, especially late at night when leaving.  The
    activity, and bright lights, disturb and frighten them, and they
    complain to the City.

DRESS
Everything from casual to dress-up to fantasy is appropriate. 
For example, some women wear shorts, some wear dresses,
some wear 'goddess-outfits' or fantasy-wear, some wear belly-
dance or other costumes.  Dress in whatever makes you feel
great & special!

CHILDREN
For the comfort of those being body painted (occasional upper-
body nudity), and because of the presence of mild amounts of
unsupervised alcohol, and because of the high energy intensity
of the event, we've changed our guideline and now ask that you
don't bring children under 16 to our party (without our advance
permission).  This affects very few people, since our event was
always adult-focussed and we've never had more than a couple
of younger children attend with their parents.  Thank you for
your understanding and cooperation.
(The full Moon drum circle, held each month at the Lake Worth
Beach, just north of the pier, from 8pm-midnight on the full
Moon night, is much more appropriate for kids.)

SMOKING
We've had many requests to remind smokers to please move
far away (downwind) from the drum circle, so that the drum-
mers and dancers don't have to breathe second-hand smoke
while they are exerting themselves.  The best idea would be to
step into our driveway (west side of the house) or our front
yard (south side of the house) to smoke.  Please don't drop
your cigarettes butts on our lawn; dispose of them respectfully
in the trash cans.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is welcome, as long as you follow these guidelines:
1. If someone requests not to be photographed, please imme-
    diately honor their request.
2. Be discrete with flash photos around the drum circle - don't
    disrupt the atmosphere.
3. If you plan to post photos to the internet, please contact us
    (your hosts) to discuss what info to include (or not) about
    the party and the individuals photographed.
4. As a courtesy please e-mail copies of your better photos,
    full-sized, to us (your hosts) with permission for us to use
    them for publicity.
