only in santa cruz

like any good former santa cruz residents, we still read the santa cruz sentinel regularly. anyone familiar with the santa cruz sentinel knows that the quality of reporting and investigative work is poor at best, and the grammar used by the journalists is equal parts entertaining and atrocious. but even poor grammar, bad investigative journalism, and sub-par reporting cannot hide the fact that crazy things happen in santa cruz.

behold.....melee erupts at the farmers market drum circle.
yikes. david used to ride a shuttle with wesley "rico thunder" modes, the gentleman described in the story.

1. That looks like the worst drum circle ever.

2. Is the guy in the middle wearing some sort of full-body Zoobas?

3. Not only are there a couple of old school cars in that picture, but the store right in the middle says simply "Flower". That is just too kynd.

keep santa cruz weird man! But maybe not that weird, like the police officer said "it's not about the drumming...."

"Officers and city leaders say they regularly receive complaints of people in that parking lot next to the farmers market buying and selling drugs, getting drunk in public, urinating on the asphalt and playing drums with little skill, among other issues."

That is a fantastic quote.

If you can't play drums drunk and messed up on street drugs, then it is time to hang up your djembe.

The man in the full body zubas suit also seems to be wearing a condom on his head.
