Nom on some grub, win Dixon t-shirts or a Dixon Snare drum, and bring your canned goods for The Ocean Park Community Center. Maybe afterward we can go outside and try to see the Lyrids Meteor Shower of 2009.
Update: thanks everyone for coming out! Here are the photos:

For what it’s worth Bakkster (his username on the forum), it does not matter how you discovered your natural talent for rhythm, but rather that you did discover it and are willing to share it.
