Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Posted on by Sharon

“Today you are you, that is truer than true. there is no one alive who is youer than you.” Anyone know which Dr. Seuss book that’s from?

Well, school’s closed today because of the weather. It’s Dr. Seuss’s birthday and I found lots of activities to do with the kids. Those books, as annoying as they were to read night after night, entertained us all and we learned about life in the process. Share a book with someone today!

Check out the Dr. Seuss activities and to find out which book the quote is from.  To view more family-friendly stuff happening this week on Cape Ann, you’ll need to start Flapping like a Haddock!

Floral Derangement From the Wicked Pissahs & Disco Inferno

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Flo talks Roller Derby before the Boston Massacre vs Maine Port Authority Bout.  We also speak with Disco Inferno, a Derby Dame Referee.

Cape Ann represented well with two of the top roller derby skaters in Krush Puppy and Shelby Shattered having roots in Rockport and Ipswich respectively.

I printed up my press pass before the bout with help from pal Sharon Lowe and her killer printer.

As it turned out I didn’t need it as they issued me an official one from The Boston Derby Dames offices.  Buddy Erik Lorden and I had all access on the floor of the event and we got a ton of interviews during warm up and throughout the bout.
