[NEohioPAL]Winter Solstice Party at Powerhouse Pub in the Flats, December 22

[Oonawolf at aol.com]

Happy Holidays from Drumplay, winner of the Cleveland Free Times Music 
Awards, Best World Music Act 2002.

It would be a gas if you all could come out to a free (but pass the hat) 
celebration of the season with a potluck dinner for and by the poetry 
community of Cleveland and beyond.  Performance by Drumplay featuring 
Cuyahoga County poet laureate, Daniel Thompson, as well as by special guests, 
will humbly be offered for your entertainment and reflection.  All this at 
the Powerhouse Pub in the Flats, 2000 Sycamore, Cleveland, beginning at 7:00 
p.m., this Sunday, December 22, 2002.

Drumplay is very honored to be co-hosting this event with Ray McNiece and 
other groovies; and we hope that you will attend this unique event.  'Tis the 
Season to Come Together and Love Each Other.  You will also have a chance to 
wish Daniel Thompson a bon voyage as he will be leaving for Arizona shortly 
within the first few weeks of the new year.

We will have our new CD "Under the Map of the World Where I Sleep" available 
at the party, which features recordings made during Drumplay's first European 
tour.  There is a companion to this CD - a beautiful poster of Daniel 
Thompson's poetry against a collage of photos taken of Drumplay at the venue 
in Verviers, Belgium, the Spirit of 66.  As a launching point for a roadtrip, 
Drumplay will be doing a series of gigs in the Midwest before embarking on 
the legendary Route 66 with Daniel Thompson enroute to his new winter home in 
2003.

It would be nice if everyone who has ever been touched by Daniel's poetry 
could come together to celebrate LIFE - as we move towards longer days and 
better weather to come.  If you would like to help out with a potluck dish to 
share, please let everyone know via this e-group.  And feel free to call me 
at 216-429-1152, if you have any questions.  Also, Ray McNiece is back in 
town and is helping to coordinate Sunday's celebration.  Peace.
