I took these shots with my new cameraphone The HTC EVO. It tends to over saturate pictures and isn’t nearly as good a camera as my Sony DSC H20 but the beauty of it is that I can take a picture and post it to the blog in mere seconds. That is how I got you guys the Greasy Pole and Seine Boat results within 30 seconds of each finish beating every other media outlet by many hours and days.
I was sitting on the forktruck (the black bar in the middle is the mast of the forktruck) when I took these shots

Hi Joey,
Here’s a poster and some words about a music series coming to the “Meetinghouse in the Gloucester U.U. Church ”
Every Friday evening in July (Beginning July 2nd) — at 8:00 pm — the “Meetinghouse” will be alive with a cappella music. Overboard is a group of 6 singers who met while attending college in Boston . They have performed in Boston , the North Shore , and around New England and were nominated for 8 awards in 2010. Their latest album is “Help.” For a sample of their music, check out their website (www.overboardvocals.com) and take a listen to their work. We’re sure you’ll be impressed and will be among those who can’t wait to hear them in person.
Admission is $10 – $5 for students and those over 65
Hi Joey,

Anyone know the population of Gloucester? I believe it’s just over 20,000. The next goal would be to have more views than the number of people in Gloucester.
Viewership records just keep falling as GMG sees steady increases month after month.
I guess people do like positive stories and you don’t have to write on sensational negativity constantly to have a successful media outlet.
