That’s a whole lotta goodness right there!

Banana Glam O Rama Tickets Avaialable!

Tickets just got freed up to today’s otherwise sold-out Bananas Fashion Show Fundraiser for City Hall and I’ve got ’em!

I went last night and it is one of the best shows I have EVER seen and I am going back for more today (show is at 4p-5p — tickets are $25 each).

It has everything: glamour, music, comedy, gorgeous women of all shapes, sizes and ages in clothes from  just about every decade of the 20th Century — and all against the dramatic background of our beloved historic City Hall.  I cannot rave about it enough!

If you are interested in ticket(s), let me know.  I can hold them for you and you can pay at the door.

Barnacle Bouquet

In case you didn’t read the comments in the last Barnacle Bouquet post GMG’s Paul Morrison gave us a little biology lesson-

Fun things I learned back in Coastal Ecology at UMass Amherst in 1977. Barnacles have the longest penis as measured by ratio of the size of the animal. Since they can’t move this likely comes in handy. “Howdy neighbor!”

They are also hermaphrodites but I had to look that up. The member size I did remember.

Round 1 and 2 The GMG Farm Bar and Grille Hot Wing Challenge

Beautiful Industry- Barnacle Bouquet On Lobster Traps

They might look pretty in this picture but they are like clusters of tiny razor blades.  You need to be very careful when handling lobster traps that are covered with barnacles.

A year ago this weekend-

From Joey – November 13,2008

“Last Night’s First Ever Gloucester Guerilla Art Project was a fantastic event.  There were many faces of the Gloucester Blogging community represented along with friends of GMG and other nortable folks.

I’d like to thank Robert Newton who provided the venue Cape Ann Community Cinema (and I think I forgot to thank publicly last night).  I’d also like to thank all the presenters- Jay Albert from Cape Ann Images, Mark Teiwes who shoots for the Beacon and hosts some of his work at www.MarkTeiwes.com, Chad Carlberg and Emile Doucette along with the rest of the team from www.baitandtackle.biz . Also thanks go out to Kat Valentine from Valentine Design who put Jay Albert’s slide show together and also was of great technical assistance.  If you haven’t already checked out their sites I highly suggest you do.

I’m looking forward to collaborating with these guys in the future to bring even more fun community media presentations to you fine folks.

It was nice to see fellow bloggers Jon Conant, John Hintlian, Miz Lia and Steve B.  Thanks for the support guys.  Also thanks go out to one of my best buddies “The Rabbit”  who took over GMG photo duties so I could meet folks without the encumbrances of the camera(pics coming later) or you could check out Miz Lia’s Blog for a few to hold you over til the Rabbit gets his ass out of bed today.

Thanks also go to Enrico Pallazzo and his lovely wife Kim for showing the love last night along with Damon and Ann Malloy of Neptune’s Harvest Fame (who I got to meet officially last night), Big Daddy Phil Doucette, Kenny and Paula Ryan, Dad’s cousin Gail Guittar, Jay’s family, Sharon Lowe, the fans of GMG, and the other people that I’m suddenly forgetting but showed up including the lovely lady that told me earlier in the week down the dock that she was going to show up and she did with her friend but her name escapes me.

Thanks to anyone else that came but I’m forgetting or didn’t get to meet.

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I promise we will continue to do these and add more contibutors in the future.  I’d like to have John Hintlian, Sharon Lowe and Steve B participate in the next one (start putting your stuff together).

Ahhhhhhhh, feels good!”

Andrews Point Today

Today’s waves at Andrews Point. These might get a little bigger by Sunday morning if the northeast wind keeps up through the weekend.

Fun Fact: This is the third Friday the 13th this year. Is that rare?  Two in a row in February and March.

OMG Cookies!

cookies

Laurie posted a recipe a few weeks ago for Fall Fruit Oatmeal Cookies and I was dying to try them. So the opening of our gift shop,“Present”, last night gave me a good reason to make them. I found all the ingredients (including the cinnamon chips), but I decided to use dried apricots instead of the apples. Well I gotta tell you, they are incredible. I was lucky to get them out of the house with 2 guys (and me) sneaking cookies all evening.

Thanks, Laurie!!! Yum!
