I'm doing 39 things
Signed up for classes at Drumz. Drumz. I’d like to learn some other types of drums eventually, but my djembe is what I tend to pull out at random the most, so I might as well start with that.

Well, my boyfriend restored an old mandolin he found for me. Now it’s purple and sounds awesome. I’m gonna have fun with it.
I was kind of on the outskirts of the large drum circle at Eeyore’s Birthday Party here in Austin.
