Schooner Crash Pictures From Kay Ellis
Thanks Kay for submitting the photo.
File this under -DOH!
Schooner Crash Pictures From Kay Ellis, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Hi Joe,
We sure had fun sailing the Lannon on Race Day. It is always exciting, especially at the start when all the schooners are jockeying for position, trying to be at full speed right at the start line, without using engines. The most horrifying part of the Race was captured by several of our passengers. Attached are a couple of shots of the collision, which happened just off our port bow as we were approaching the line. They were taken by Christina Hays of Gloucester.
There was a collision between the Spirit of Bermuda (big black schooner) and Perception (small white schooner). Both had come up on the line a bit early and were trying to stall so that they didn’t go over the line before the bell. You can see the Spirit’s bowsprit in the rigging of Perception. The small schooner suffered a snapped main boom. No one was hurt, which was amazing given the five foot swell and the pounding of the Spirit’s bowsprit on the Perception’s deck.

Chelsea (played by legendary 21-year-old adult film star Sasha Grey) is an upscale Manhattan call girl who provides more than just a sexual encounter; for a price, she’ll simulate a complete romantic relationship—a girlfriend “experience.” Despite a wide variety of happy customers, Chelsea wants to expand her business. Her real boyfriend Chris, a personal trainer at a downtown gym, has come to terms with his girlfriend’s level of experience, not to mention the posh apartment they share as a result of her success. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, who won an Oscar for “Traffic,” and didn’t win an Oscar for “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Ocean’s Twelve” or “Ocean’s Thirteen.”

Hailed as “the worst film ever made,” this inept melodrama has been playing somewhere in the country since its release in 2003, and has become a modern cult classic. Audience participation and commentary is encouraged, and (responsible consumption of) alcohol is recommended. (BYOB OK!)
Join us after the Block Party, kick back on one of our couches or comfy chairs and spend some really fun time with us.

seARTS Note-Card Opportunity
Call to Artists who create original Note-Cards
seARTS would like to create a “Cape Ann Collection” of note-cards representing contemporary artists of Cape Ann. This is an opportunity to showcase the diverse and colorful range of artists and designers working and living here. Whether you make cards representing your work or make note-cards exclusively, we are interested in your submissions. You do not have to be a member of seARTS to participate in this program.
seARTS will assemble a package of 15-20 different note-cards in unique seARTS packaging and the package will include a list of participating artists, with contact information for each. The cards will be offered for sale as a mini-fundraiser at the Fall Fundraiser From Broadway to Beauport October 17, 2009. They will also be for sale on the seARTS website. Note-Cards are a great way to market your work, so we recommend having all your contact information on the card as well!
The cards will be reviewed for quality and diversity. If your card is chosen we will be asking you to (create if you haven’t already done so) and donate a minimum of 50 cards, preferred quantity is 100 of the same card to make up the sets for the Fall Fundraiser. If this is successful, we will continue the program through the end of the year and work with artists on a commission basis.
After designs are accepted we would ask the artist to provide cards for the sets.
Please email or mail up to 3 different design samples to:
Stephanie Mason-Thibodeau
PO Box 6006
Gloucester, MA 01930
email: searts2009@gmail.com
You will be notified by September 18th if your card is accepted.

Lobster Dinner Night With The Mrs
I’m not usually a fan of posed pictures (having to endure holidays with my mom lining us up for posed pictures ad nauseam). I usually prefer action shots. When you get a backdrop like this I’ll make an exception. It doesn’t hurt to have the Mrs to balance out my ugly mug.
