 Get ready for the April, 2007 edition of the monthly min el-Jbal el-Zarr’a (MJZ) drum/music/dance event in Charlottesville. 
 
 Because the Society for Creative Anachronism (www.sca.org) is holding a symposium here in Charlottesville during the day on the 28th of April with many interesting classes on medieval clothing, and some that particularly refer to Middle Eastern clothing of the time of the Ottoman Empire, we have decided to schedule our April event for that evening following the symposium. 
 
 For those who don't know, this is where the reality that the "fantasy of what we think Ghawazee coats are" or what we "call Ghawazee coats or turkish coats" comes from. Come learn about what they REALLY wore within the walls of Topkapi, and in the gardens of fashionable homes all over the empire! To see more information about the classes, check out (stannes.atlantia.sca.org/classes.htm). Some of the folks from around the Kingdom of Atlantia will be in the area for this event and we've extended them a special invitation to attend our hafla as well! 
 
 As always, this event (whether you call it a hafla, a drum circle, a gathering or dancers, or just a party) is a chance for those of us who are dancers and musicians to get together to just play and dance without the stress and anxiety of a performance setting. Whether your musical tradition is Middle-Eastern, West African, Celtic, Polynesian, or something else, you are invited to join us on Saturday, April 28, 2007 at The ATTic (upstairs in the Glass Building, Downtown Charlottesville) from 7:00 until 10:00 PM. 
 
 The format is simple: live music for live dancing...just bring your acoustic instrument(s), your talent, a cushion to sit on, and some ideas for songs/rhythms that the group can join in with. 
 
 We will provide water and mint tea (iced and hot); if you want to bring something else to share with the group, feel free, but that is not necessary. 
 
 We are requesting a donation of $5.00 to defray costs of the space, if you are able. 
 
 Please join us if you can! 
 
 WHEN: 
 Saturday, April 28, 2007, 7:00-10:00 PM 
 
 LOCATION: 
 The ATTic (Room 208, 2nd floor of the Glass Building) 
 313 2nd Street SE 
 Charlottesville VA 22902 
 
 You should be able to get directions from the Costumer's Symposium folks! Thanks!

Does anyone have any information on the 'after event' that was
supposed to be happening in Charlottesville at The ATTiC at 7pm?

Does anyone know if it is still happening?  The website I have is no
longer there.
