Gloucester Battle Of The Bands Fri and Saturday April 9th and 10th

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

City leaders, concerned musicians and the Gloucester Fishermen’s Athletic Assoc. have banded together to create a Battle of the Bands Weekend, Fri & Sat. April 9 & 10 at Gloucester High School Auditorium to raise money to help school sports and rebuild the crumbling bleachers at Newell Stadium so that football and other games can be played. Both events begin at 8 pm and feature the city’s top musical talent.

The Friday show is oriented more to younger bands and emcee’d by football record setter Connor Ressel, while the Sat. tilt features the cream of 7 area bands, headlined by Fly Amero, Allen Estes, Willie Alexander, The Tide and is emcee’d by the spectacular Linda Amero. Tickets are $10 for Friday and $20 for Saturday and 100% of the proceeds will go to save Gloucester sports, the stadium and cut sports fee’s for student athletes.

All parties are citizens committed to solving an immediate problem without waiting around for a cash strapped local government that can’t bail them out. For more info,  email gordon@rampartsfarm.com

Refrigerator Bio (kinda) For Deb Clarke

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Debbie Clarke requested people take pictures and explain stories about their lives through what they have on their refrigerators.  Well my fridge at home is just as plain as can be but we have a freezer down the dock on which we place stickers and magnets as they come into our lives.  So I guess the freezer down the dock is much more interesting.

If you would like to send in a sticker for me to add feel free to send it along to me Joey at Captain Joe and Sons in Gloucester.  I’ll be sure to take a picture of it and add it to the collection and post it up here on these pages.

Chickity Check It!- Cape Ann Web

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From Cathy Tarr-

Hey Joe,
When you have some time, would you consider adding Cape Ann Web to the list of links on GMG?

That was my first baby – it’s been online since 2002,  It’s a somewhat static site (except for the restaurant reviews), more practical than pretty – updated when I have time to search for new sites or when people submit suggestions.

It’s mostly a directory of online resources for Cape Ann – I created it more for residents than tourists, with quick links and searches to city/town information. The Community Sites page is pretty cool and extensive.  I added a blog roll a few months ago.  It’s pretty much all about what’s out there about Cape Ann on the Web!  I feel like it’s the mama web site for all the great sites that have been created in the past 8 years.

I’ve been thinking about another charity bowling smack-down – one of these days.  Oh … and when we do, I’ve got Dean signed up … on my team.  hahaha

Thanks!
cathy
