    Well, what type of music you into?
    Not too many places that play good music anymore (clubs).
    But, there are some pretty cool stores, and some far-out drum circles.
    (I'm going to the next one coming up.)

    Alright man, to find out more about the drum circles, call the Texas Drum Hotline at 214-823-DRUM.
    There's a nice little club in 'Deep Ellum' called the Gypsy Tea Room that I used to go to a lot.
    It's usually just punk-rock there, but you'd be suprised by the bands.
    Check it out sometime.

    I watched them do this once at the Henry Ford Museum in greenfield village. it was really awesome. It looks like it would take alot of talent.:sunglasse

    yeah, man theres a place in grapevine, tx...called grapevine art glass.....they recommened a place to me, and i have the name and number somewhere but i cant find it. if you call grapevine art glass, they will tell you, just ask them if they know anywhere in grapevine that gives classes to blow glass. its real expensive though. they told me it would be 175$ for a paperweight class...and you have to take a couple of those, then you can do different classes i guess....the lady was real vauge?!?! so yeah...i def. am going to take classes, so if anyone else is interested you should sign up.

    peace & love
