  • I live in Evanston and I know that the restaurant/coffee house that is now at the location of the coffee shope formerly known as the Pick a Cup shop is looking to host drum circles. Can a meetup for the drum group be scheduled there please. I want to atend a meetup event for drumming but wish you could have a drummig circle in Evanston. So pleae contact that coffee shop--it's called the Perla Cafe at 1813 Dempster and the phone is [masked]. They said that they wouldn' charge for a meetup.
