Remember Me
Taking its name from a luscious fruit in Cuba also known as "mamey", "ZapOte" is an original Funk Latin Afro-Beat band lead by Dawn Drake, New York's female bassist/conguera/singer/songwriter and composer, who manages to wear several hats while setting the scene with her own brand of cool.
Her original music takes the listener and dancer into a zone where House, Funk, Afro-beat, Samba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms are right at home. Her poetic lyrics spread messages of universal consciousness, love and are delivered with an occasional ironic twist. She is joined by amazing musicians playing the irresistible grooves of Latin percussion, swinging hornlines and virtuosic improvisation.
Arei Sekiguchi: drums
Cathy Harley: Keyboard
Sam Fenster: Guitar
Terry Dame: Saxophone
Jackie Coleman: Trumpet
Dawn Drake: Bass, vocals, percussion
This band has gone far and wide for the short period of time that it has been together. Formed in 2005 to record the original songs of Dawn Drake, the band shortly thereafter started to play venues in and around New York City, including the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music Cafe Live series, as well as Women's Week at Medgar Evers College, a residency on NYC's legendary Bleecker Street at Wicked Willy's, and DROM, Manhattan's Best World Music venue. Currently, they play funky SOHO's L'Orange Bleue Monday Night DRUMS series several times a month.(www.lorangebleue.com)
An active musician in New York City's African, Brazilian and Latin music scene, Dawn Drake started her career as an electric bassplayer and percussionist, but now she is known first and foremost as a singer-songwriter, composer and bandleader. Originally from Virginia, Dawn first began traveling and studying world music through UC Berkeley's study abroad program at the University of Ghana, West Africa where she lived for a year. Upon moving to New York City, she started to play bass and percussion with groups which have included Obini Ashe; The Femm Nameless, who opened for The Roots and who toured England; Jojo Kuo, former drummer for Fela Kuti; Páprika who has opened for Patti LaBelle and Toshi Reagon, and Manmzel, who toured Canada and the east coast, with a hit single in the French Caribbean.
Dawn studied and played congas and batá in Cuba, and samba percussion in Brazil, where she played in Rio de Janiero's Carnaval. She has shared the stage with Me'shell N'degeocello, Cyro Baptista, Trey Anastasio, Mo'Guajiro, Los Jovenes del Barrio, Kokolo, Jorge Alabê and members of Antibalas.
She has appeared on The CBS Early Show, and Telemundo TV, PBS, WBAI, and played stages such as Symphony Space, SOB's, The Zinc Bar, Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room, Radio City Music Hall, BAM CAFE, The Walker Art Center, Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
"Dawn Drake & ZapOte" have performed live on WBAI, KPFA Pacifica Radio in Berkeley, Ca(www.kpfa.org), KUSP in Santa Cruz(www.kusp.org), and WTJU in Charlottesville. They have toured the East and West Coast playing well-known venues like The Gravity Lounge, in Charlottesville, Va; Toad's Place in Richmond, Va; Jupiter in Berkeley, Ca.; and the Brookdale Lodge in Brookdale, Ca. They were featured performers in the multi-city Bluemont Concert Series in Virginia, 2008.(bluemont.org). Dawn and the band "ZapOte" have also appeared in the Winchester Star and the Eureka Times Standard, and Dawn herself has appeared in The Village Voice, Park Slope 24/7, and GO Magazine. Fresh off of a European tour in April the band is gearing up for summer festivals and concert series on the east coast, and finishing a new EP. Dawn's full-length album entitled "Cross-Crocodiles" is available for purchase at www.cdbaby.com/cd/dawndrake2.
"Dawn Drake and her band ZapOte are at the beginnings
of a fascinating journey to enthusiastically bridge
chasms of cultural and gender disconnect that plagues
so much of pop music's body politic.
To hear them is to imagine early period jam sessions
between Laura Nyro and Carole King with Sly Stone
and Sergio Mendes sitting in.
Theirs is a playfully intense dynamic that needs to be
seen more"-Darrell McNeill, Director, Black Rock

I've decided to get a bike to ride to and from class starting this fall. The trip is about a mile each way. I just have no clue what type of bike to buy. I've got very little experience riding bikes. Haven't done it in a very long time. I'm a typical college student, not in shape, but I think I can handle the ride. I've got a few options in mind, and would enjoy some feedback.
I've heard that an old mountain bike with a rigid fork can make a decent commuter if you put slick tires on it. Is this true? I found a Motiv Rockpoint in a local pawn shop, and was considering buying it. It didn't have any suspension, but that's about all I know about it.
Would I be better off with a used road bike? I've never ridden a road bike before, and honestly it looks uncomfortable. I've read hybrid bikes are a good compromise, but I can't find any used ones, and new ones are too expensive.
My budget is pretty tight. $300 max, ideally. Any ideas?


text: How about copper instead? Copper etch as a hobby technique is well established and 'easy' to approach for experimentation because of the materials available for making pcb's. It is probably also done on many art-courses, with the 'genuine' materials and a well sorted out process. Why steel? Was that the original material?

I would like to know if this plugin requires a double log in?
Basically, I have a Buddypress site, that requires users to log in to do certain things. If I install Disqus Commenting System, will the user have to log in to WordPress and then post as a guest or using one of Disqus' log in methods (login with facebook, google, yahoo)?

text: as an example of what happens, I recently installed an 80mm lens in my DII for medium format, but left the 6" condensors (normally used for 5x4) in. The resulting circle of illumination was much too dark at the corners. So I changed to the smaller condensors and life again was good.

Great breakfast! Our room Mt Katahdin was fairly spacious even with the sink on 1 wall. Wish we'd had more time to spend on the porch. easy parking off the street. lots of video/movies available for guests.
Everything was clean and welcoming. The owners were very friendly and accommodating.
My husband wished that breakfast had been available at 7 a.m. They had a wonderful menu and food was excellent, but was not available until 8:00.
I loved the inn keepers, as they were very nice and accommodating. They provided tips about local restaurants and left out candy and coffee 24 hours a day. The best part of our stay was probably the breakfast voucher we got to the Appalachian Trail cafe -- awesome place with awesome food! This inn seemed like one of the best choices for people looking to hike Katahdin and not stay at a campground (took us just over 45 min to get to the park, but breakfast cafe opened up at 5:00 AM, so we got in a big breakfast before our climb).
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

This blog is the product of Brian Gryphon. Although some blogs are designed to host a variety of conversations and debates, this is more of a journal; it presents some of his photographic work, his rambling on various issues (generally from a progressive's point of view) as well as reviewing the work of other artists/ designers using web-based POD ("print on demand") galleries and shops.
Brian was born in Toronto some 56 years ago- the third of four children. He is at least the third generation of a cross-border family. His Mother was born in the USA (her Mother was from Canada and her father from the US) but moved to Canada to marry her first husband. Dad was born in Canada; his father was from Ireland while his Mom was born in Canada but raised by a relative in upstate New York. Mom's older brother was born in Canada but moved to the USA to join the USAF during WW II – and raised two families (at different times) in the US. Brian's brother (and family) now lives and works in the USA while their two sisters (and families) continue to live in south-western Ontario.
In addition to working various full-time jobs since leaving school, Brian has been producing photographic images for over 35 years. His first assignment was for his high school yearbook. He currently offers his photography on apparel & gift items, and as frame-able prints. Brian operates about a dozen web-sites; his on-line history goes back to CompuServe, Freenets and 2400 baud modems. In fact, his father introduced him to 'puters by letting Brian write code (in 'basic') for the IBM-5150.
Brian was baptized in the United Church of Canada while young and again in The Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto as an adult. He has studied a wide variety of spiritual traditions; nature-based 'pagan' as well as 'major world religions'. He now identifies as a "nontheist spiritual humanist". He is ordained in the Universal Life Church, licensed to perform weddings in Ohio and available to bless queer unions or other events of personal significance.
Want to save some of my blog posts to read off-line? I've assembled two Kindle-compatible eBook collections of blog posts. Don't own a Kindle device? There's an app for that. Each collection is available at the incredible price of US$0.99 – mere pennies a page:
The eBook Queer Blog Posts contains most blog entries posted in the LGBTITQQ2S category from 2009 through January of 2015. Some were written to submit to one or another college class, others were written in response to happenings in my own life, and some comment on the world around me. Excluded posts generally have a video or large image with limited text. While these posts contain specifically gay content, everything I feel or experience is inevitably processed through the filter of my being a queer man of a certain age.
The eBook Queer (Political) Blog Posts contains most blog entries posted in the Politics Plus category from 2009 through 2013. I am not formally trained in Politics but have been a keen observer of political creatures (and their creations) for much of my 50 plus years on Earth. All opinions expressed herein are my own unless credited to another source and accurately reflect my belief and understanding at the time they were first published; some of them might have changed if only slightly since then.
