To anyone who gets notified when I write on this wall: Can we use this page as a way for women to ride-share or room-share for this year's Rhythm Rave Festival? If so who sees it? Is it as easy as encouraging everyone who registers to "Like" this page?

I forgot to include directions to the Lakeside Inn in my last email so here is more info:

DRIVING:
If you are coming from the Boston/Cambridge area you may find lots of alternate routes to keep you off the highway. Plug into your GPS "595 North Ave., Wakefield, MA".
OTHERWISE take Interstate Route 95 (which is also Route 128 at this point).
Take exit 39 "North Ave/Wakefield" off Rt 95 which is north of both Route 93 and Route 3 exits.
Turn onto North Ave toward Wakefield. There will be a Saab/Subaru dealership on the right. Pass the first sign for the Lakeside Inn and turn left at the second sign. Driveway runs between the signs for "The Savings Band" and "Lakeside Inn" on one side and "Lakeside Office Park" on the other. The Inn is straight back.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
Take the Haverill Commuter Rail Line out of North Station to Reading. The Reading station is at 35 Lincoln Street and is actually closer to the Inn than the Wakefield Station.
Then take the 137 bus inbound towards Malden. Three stops should drop you off across from the Lakeside Office Park. The Lakeside Inn is behind the Office Park. There will be Saab & Subaru dealership at this bus stop as well.
OR let us know ahead of time what train you're catching and someone will pick you up at the Reading station.

Sorry but we've decided to postpone the West African Day of Drumming with Annegret. Stay tuned for another date.

03/12/2016

PLEASE REGISTER now for Annegret Baier's West African Drum Playshop for WOMEN on Plum Island.
Go to www.shellycullen.com and click on the Rhythm Rave link and then "Buy Now".
I want to make sure we get enough women to encourage me to create more of these rare circles to DRUM WITH ONLY WOMEN. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the best female drummers on the east coast. Annegret will help beginners and intermediate drummers develop proper djembe technique. Her style is kind and gentle as she guides you to push your drummer's limits. We will learn all of the parts so you can bring it home to your own drum circles.
