Conga player looking for music-mates

One conga player is looking for a few who enjoy jamming out “semi-traditional son, changui, or to whip up a good Cuban Descarga.” Never left his name, his picture should surely conjure up responses.

A self-proclaimed awesome roommate is looking for a place to live, preferably in Old Town. She is a 59-year-old “civil rights activist/poet” needing a place to rent that is handicap accessible, as she recovers from a riding incident.

Also, a pair of experienced role-playing gamers is looking for a group to join. “We’d prefer a fantasy setting but don’t mind sci-fi too much. We’re not interested in Star Trek, Star Wars, or World of Darkness. We’d prefer not to play d20 or GURPS (or any other unnecessarily complicated dice system that detracts from the actual game play), but we’re more interested in the setting and would consider it for the right group.”
