Weather puts haunting of wooded camp on hold

From the Gloucester Daily Times

Old Red Eyes” has been spooked by the rain this weekend, but organizers for the benefit “haunted house” on the West Gloucester grounds of YMCA’s Camp Spindrift are sure he’ll be around beginning next Thursday.

Horribles Parade organizers have been planning to host a variation on the “haunted house” theme as a fundraiser for next year’s parade, and the presentation — based on the “Legend of Red Eyes” — was to have kicked off this weekend. But Al Kipp, one of the haunting’s organizers, said the event was postponed until next Thursday because of the grim weather forecast.

“It’s the trick-or-treat season, and I guess we just got tricked by Mother Nature,” Kipp said yesterday.

The “haunting” grounds will now open Thursday at 5 p.m. at the YMCA camp, with the showcase set to run Oct. 22 through 25, and Oct. 29 and 30 from 5 to 10 p.m. The haunted woods will also be open Halloween night from 5 to 9. Plus, each night will feature a special fright time for smaller children from 5 to 6:30, when the program will be geared toward them. Beginning at 7 p.m. each night, the haunting volunteers will “turn it up a notch” for older kids and adults, according to organizers Kipp and Dave Tucker.

Joey’s Mushroom Soup At Duckworth Beach Gourmet

As promised Ken is carrying his incredible Mushroom Soup at Duckworth Beach Gourmet.  To my surprise when I walked in it was labeled “Joey’s Mushroom Soup”, not just one container that was put aside for me, but all of them.  And when they ring it up in the computer it comes up as- you guessed it- “Joey’s Mushroom Soup”  How cool is that??????!

The street address for Duckworth Beach Gourmet is 24 Washington Street in the building which used to house Ned’s and before that Donut Jim’s

The Rabbit Hangs Out At The Farm Bar and Grill

One of my best friends “The Rabbit” and I went to The Farm Bar and Grill night before last.  I look stoned in this picture but I can assure you it was just me being tired.

We laid a beating on an order of chicken wings and their killer nachos.
The aftermath

The boys at the Farm are killing it!  The place is mobbed and even though they have plenty of parking we barely found a spot.  They are doing a lot of things right starting with the food and the competent no attitude service from the bar staff.

Self-torture!

Why, oh why, do I do this to myself?? All I wanted to do was take the humidifier out of the closet and put it in the bedroom. Two hours later it’s still in the closet and to get to the computer, I had to climb over 2 boxes of old photos, a bin full of cassettes, a fan, the vacuum, and various storage thingies from under the bed. Whaaaaa???!! OVERKILL!!! And I get trapped into these huge projects when all I want to do is one little task. I know it’s my evil twin forcing me into subservient behavior. I would NOT do this willingly. Well, back to the mess. Oh, btw, I re-wired my speakers and re-installed the FM antenna on my receiver in the process. Yay!

Leo HallowFrom Leo Sharamitaro-

As tempting as it is, we can’t make it to Indio, California to see Phish Festival 8 and neither can you, so hey let’s all have our own celebration at The Rhumbline!
We’ll play two sets starting at 9:30. We’ve been practicing some new tunes, and hope you will enjoy. Be there!

I don’t know where to begin really.  But being forced to come up with something I will say right now that you MUST try the roasted pork sandwich on baguette with spicy roasted red peppers, 1/2 sour pickles, herb mayo and manchego cheese.  OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD

When I say it was out of this world I mean it was out of this world!
