    The firejam is over, but the beatz are not. In fact, they're still hot. I liked the firedancers, but
    we drummers are still having a good time! A couple of local heroes still firedance.
    Eventually, the "normal" firedancers will get permitted up. But hey, in my crew, it's the beatz
    that count. I like it when people dance, period.

      So is there drumming at the waterfront on Sundays? If so when? Where? I drummed for the first time at Beltane and fell in love. I would love to find a local place to hear, and learn.

        Even though the firespinning has (temporarily) stopped. We have still kept up drumming.
        In some ways, it's even more enjoyable now. I like to see people dancing or spinning the
        lighted orbs. They look just as cool, or cooler, than the fire orbs, with less smoke.
        I have a great time every week. I love the people who show up. We are a noisy little family.

        Location: On the dead-end of SE Salmonella St, where it dies at the banks of the Willamette, on Sundays at sundown, about 150 yards north of the Hawthorne bridge, on the East side, near the approving countenance of the Vera Katz statue (she seems to dig drumming, but is not big on dancing)..
