!

I feel like I write this a lot, but I love steel band.
Today, we had a concert. So, we got together and put all of our stuff out for a while. Then Doctor Doom (name has been changed for privacy purposes) told us he wanted to talk about something kind of serious. So, like 6 of us sat in a circle on the stage, and Doctor (pronounced Docta) Doom told us about why he became a vegetarian 7 years ago, and how it has changed his life. He offered to let us borrow his books on animal treatment. He told us that he buys all his food locally, and picks out the eggs he eats himself...so no chickens are treated unethically.

Then during our practice, we basically dance around like crazy while playing the pans. Then while other bands are performing...be have an even better dance party back stage. Then we get on stage and share our music with everyone else, and invite them to our dance party. And even though few people accept our invitation to dance....everyone wishes they were having as much fun as us. Before we played, one of my friends said "It doesn't matter if no one dances with us or shows any expression...as long as they can feel our spirit. It's all about the spirit" :)
