Drum Haven

#DrumHvn is the Twitter hashtag for DrumHaven100. The concept is ancient, traditional and fundamental- there is an underlying rhythm to our entire lives, heartbeat, breath, circadian, etc..  #SWCT and #SWForce and #GoogleHaven have permanently changed the rhythm of New Haven forever and we want to shout it out to the entire city, world and universe. So in recognition of our new found tribalism we’ve gone retro- Drumming.

The sacred voice of Humans has been magnified through drumming since the beginning of history to symbolize and commemorate battles, victories and changing paradigms. Our vision of 100 drummers on the New Haven Green for 100 minutes commemorates, and give voice to, the battles entered by the #GoogleHaven, #swct and #SWForce teams, our victories and the paradigms changed.

Of the people, for the people and by the people- We come, we drum and we have some fun!!

Tentatively planned for the afternoon of September 23, the autumn equinox, 100 minutes before sunset, 10 drummers will begin to express our collective voices, they will be joined by 10  more, then 10  more, then 10 more, etc. until their collective voices become one, a crescendo racing towards climax, celebrating our continuing accomplishments, cementing our coalesced community and welcoming an Autumn of opportunities.

While discussing with the omnipresent Lee Cruz a fallen tree in my neighborhood that would be perfect for making drums, he mentioned Michael Mills of DrumsNoGuns.org .

Michael challenged me to save the tree for him and I challenged him to find 100 drummers for the green. I am pleased to say, both of us rose to our challenges :-)
