After Jessica - it would seem like neighbors are the first place you'd look.
I wasn't sure what a drum circle was - http://www.rhythmweb.com/circle/faq.htm
is this kind of a new hippie thing, I'm assuming that in Utah it wouldn't necessarily be an ethnic event?
it's a big thing among the wicca freaks
Not new. The only ethnicity I ever associated with the kind of drumming and drum circles I've seen was Native American. I never thought about it being an African "thing," but I suppose it can be.
It's mostly just "New Age," so to speak. Some people in one of my meditation classes went to these and they were definitely hippie-ish, although upscale hippie-ish, or "up-market" as they sometimes say now.
It's a druggie thing. Marijuana users do it on Sunday.
